Why are you all still thinking that the rags have any influence over non-thumb people anymore?

Cerebral Bore posted:Why are you all still thinking that the rags have any influence over non-thumb people anymore? Exactly, because young adults aren't reading the papers. Articles, maybe, but it's all filtered through social media feeds, where the editorial line can be preemptively cut off at the knees with a simple "what is this moron talking about". The papers are no more credible to the young than the gammon brigade, and I'd like to think that Leverson being shelved just condemns the press to a slow and painful death rather than keeping the cycle going.

You really are not giving the youth enough credit you know. They don’t read newspapers, they rarely watch the news and they live on social media. Enough of the middle class Tory voter base hate the idea of Brexit to despise the current generation of Tories as well, and if there is one thing a Tory can do will it’s hold a grudge. It’s literally only racist thickfucks, boomers, and the very olds who are being led by the balls by the daily mail and the daily telegraph at this point. 20 years time all that remains of print media will be the local papers.

Young folk in general support Corbyn and oppose Brexit, and I reckon they'd feel pretty betrayed if Corbyn had a concrete chance to stop Brexit (by being elected PM before it happens) and declined to do so.

I'm not under any delusions the papers are going to be relevant tomorrow or in ten years, but it would be quite nice if the culture and practices that brought us here from 1970 could effectively be cut out from society forever with legal enforcement. Social media is clearly not the answer to everything any more than the internet itself was; if Labour can hold an 80% approval rating across an entire generation throughout multiple difficult governments, that's fantastic, but it'd be one hell of an ask and eventually young tories will figure out how to pass as human again.

EDIT - ^^^^^^^^^^ I am already here! Wait, poo poo. I wasn't supposed to say that Do we think it's likely Labour would/will put something Leveson-esque into practice if/when they come to power? I mean, Corbs clearly has no love for the gutter press, so I'd hope so

I mean, we still need to be vigilant, as there are still young people who buy into the tabloid line, even if there's less than before. And of course, fash garbage on 4chan that need their poo poo pushing in.

Sometimes when it’s nice and quiet and a slow news day. I like to tweet really strange insults at Philip Hammond.

Godsdamn gullibility around homelessness -- kind members of the public believe people who tell them that services are closed and tweet or Facebook the updates very publicly -- and we're told there's no way we can tell anyone that it's not true. We've spoken to the person at least twice and offered help and they not very politely refused. Of course it's totally up to the person if they don't want the help on offer and we don't take it personally but we try to have a positive conversation. The point is that the misinformation spread by the kind member of the public gives the impression that either nothing's being done or that people shouldn't bother with trying to get the help, reducing the effectiveness of the help and tying us up in PR instead of spending the time getting people in from the cold and into housing. Any helpful ideas?

Best thing about the KFC supply disaster is that switching Bidvest for DHL and having completely obvious supply issues was exactly what Burger King did less than a decade ago Also was on a 9-4:30 shift and my office is closing at 2:30 because of the Southwest red alert, but I got sent home early cause my buses would stop visiting my location about two hours before that Now I'm on leave til the 8th but the weather's ruined our planned trip to a chalet in Westward Ho! to get away and my fianceé and I are extremely sad

My heating has broken, and so has British Gas's phone line. They keep telling people via twitter to book an engineer on their website, but it keeps sending me back to the main account page. A friend did get through to the engineer booking page, and it looks like the next available slot is on Monday.

OK, you know there's a problem with the weather when your local Co-Op starts selling out of Rustler Burgers. That's desperation setting in right there.

Civilisation has basically collapsed here in Edinburgh. The publically-owned action heroes at Lothian buses (seen in action here) aren't even running, so legally i think that means we're under martial law and cannibalism is legal. Also, if anyone is bored on this snow day and wants a fun and exciting way to spend the next two hours or so, the Scottish Government's consultation on better recognising the identities of trans people is still open until 5pm today, with a helpful guide to the ideologically Correct answers here. You get the warm glow of really irritating this one guy with a blog from Bath, as well as actually maybe helping trans people? Which uh, as it turns out includes me, so if you really want to personally stick it to Forums Poster Angepain feel free to copy and paste all the trans-exclusionary twitter posts you wish.
