Is it suppressed or is it simpler than that….

There is definitely suppression, Twitter bans, Facebook accounts 'suspended', certain information and websites removed from Google search results, etc.

 

None of the above would affect me in any way as I avail of none of them but then I'm unashamedly odd.

 

Sadly however, remove a message or viewpoint from the above nowadays and it will indisputably have been suppressed, or in many cases, effectively vanishes.

Well they have a policy to delete what is regarded as fake news.

 

Not that it seem to make any difference as there is such a huge   volume of  conspiracy stuff on social media and the internet in general (or truthful info if your a believer)  thats its like pissing in the wind as to being an effective policy to try and sucessfully suppress it.

A lot of what is deleted is merely opinion.

 

Something which everyone should be entitled to hold.

And even then, polls mean zero unless they bring the election forward

Agreed, polls are if not meaningless, then transitory at best.

 

But a new PM should really have a bit of momentum behind them.

 

Bit of a dead cat bounce more like in this case.

Pretty desperate state of affairs.

 

They are damned if they bin her and damned if they don't...

 

I knew people would come to regret taking a dump on Boris - oh the irony, those that seem to have the most to loose from having done so are within the Tory party 😂
