@TadeuszBorowski @AnnaPembroke @pritipatel @UKLabour Talk about hypocrisy!

THAT is some turning of the truth!!!

So he didn't have a visa for the *#USA*

And used someone else's real passport

Yet *#WE* prosecuted him

The point you are "rebutting" is how many illegal immigrants to *#THIS* country do "#WE" prosecute FOR THE SAME?!

@Pady_oFurniture @TadeuszBorowski @AnnaPembroke @pritipatel @UKLabour We don't prosecute people entering THIS country using a relatives passport "accidentally"

We don't prosecute people for ADMITTEDLY DELIBERATELY entering THIS country without the right passport to "test" the system

In fact #Channel4akeNews had a whole programme (series?) of it!
@Pady_oFurniture @TadeuszBorowski @AnnaPembroke @pritipatel @UKLabour Was anyone at or on the #Channel4 programme prosecuted for illegally entering the country

Attempting it

Or aiding & abetting it

And that's ON TOP of the THOUSANDS of illegal immigrants who illegally enter the country without the correct or even ANY legal travel documents
@Pady_oFurniture @TadeuszBorowski @AnnaPembroke @pritipatel @UKLabour Or through correct legal entry points

Illegal immigrants don't just enter country without correct or any travel documents

Many (most?) don't go through customs or passport control

And not only do they not get prosecuted for it

The "liberal" left insist it's not a crime either
@Pady_oFurniture @TadeuszBorowski @AnnaPembroke @pritipatel @UKLabour Similarly the "liberal" left in US insist if you enter US illegally it's not a crime

But also dispute authorities claim any illegal immigrant trying to get through immigration hasn't "entered" the USA yet & so not entitled to US constitutional rights

AIUI #TommyRobinson hadn't
@Pady_oFurniture @TadeuszBorowski @AnnaPembroke @pritipatel @UKLabour As I understand it #TommyRobinson hadn't actually even "entered" USA on that basis

He didn't completely go through immigration as he thought he'd been rumbled & caught a flight back

So why were *#WE* prosecuting him for a *#US* crime he didn't commit

And *#WE* don't prosecute!
@Pady_oFurniture @TadeuszBorowski @AnnaPembroke @pritipatel @UKLabour So why did *#WE* prosecute #TommyRobinson for a crime he didn't commit in the *#USA*

When we don't prosecute thousands of others for doing it here

AND "liberals" here & in US say ISN'T a crime anyway!

But you all wet your knickers over #Tommy getting convicted of it?!!!
@Pady_oFurniture @TadeuszBorowski @AnnaPembroke @pritipatel @UKLabour Some more of YOUR & THEIR stretching of truth:

His conviction for cop on piss with mates deciding to interrupt a VERBAL argument between #TommyRobinson & his future wife with a rugby tackle from behind was because during the execution of it the drunk cop headbutted #Tommy's boot
@Pady_oFurniture @TadeuszBorowski @AnnaPembroke @pritipatel @UKLabour That conviction incidentally led to loss of access to his airside aircraft maintenance apprenticeship & so a normal well paid career

Some more of YOUR & THEIR stretching of truth:

"Masterminding" 2 "serious frauds" was ONLY thing authorities could find after MONTHS of trawling!
@Pady_oFurniture @TadeuszBorowski @AnnaPembroke @pritipatel @UKLabour Your "Masterminding" two "serious frauds" was ONLY thing authorities could find after MONTHS of trawling not just through all #TommyRobinson's affairs but his whole family's!

What you & other "liberals" "forget" to say it was the heinous crime of victimless MORTGAGE "fraud"!!!
@Pady_oFurniture @TadeuszBorowski @AnnaPembroke @pritipatel @UKLabour #TommyRobinson was "guilty of "crime" of #MORTGAGEfraud which EVERYONE that gets help with deposit from bank of mum & dad without declaring it is guilty of

EVERYONE that adjusts their self-employed income or overtime & expenses claims to boost their apparent income is guilty of
@Pady_oFurniture @TadeuszBorowski @AnnaPembroke @pritipatel @UKLabour No doubt many if not most of the cops & robbers sorry lawyers & judges guilty of stitching up #TommyRobinson have been guilty of #MORTGAGEfraud

Including MP #PeterMandelson & lawyer & MP Geoffrey Robinson

Did any of those get prosecuted

Never mind bankrupted with fines

Err NO

The common understanding of propaganda is that it is intended to brainwash the masses. Supposedly, people get exposed to the same message repeatedly and over time come to believe in whatever nonsense authoritarians want them to believe /1

And yet authoritarians often broadcast silly, unpersuasive propaganda.

Political scientist Haifeng Huang writes that the purpose of propaganda is not to brainwash people, but to instill fear in them /2


When people are bombarded with propaganda everywhere they look, they are reminded of the strength of the regime.

The vast amount of resources authoritarians spend to display their message in every corner of the public square is a costly demonstration of their power /3

In fact, the overt silliness of authoritarian propaganda is part of the point. Propaganda is designed to be silly so that people can instantly recognize it when they see it


Propaganda is intended to instill fear in people, not brainwash them.

The message is: You might not believe in pro-regime values or attitudes. But we will make sure you are too frightened to do anything about it.

This is a pretty valiant attempt to defend the "Feminist Glaciology" article, which says conventional wisdom is wrong, and this is a solid piece of scholarship. I'll beg to differ, because I think Jeffery, here, is confusing scholarship with "saying things that seem right".


The article is, at heart, deeply weird, even essentialist. Here, for example, is the claim that proposing climate engineering is a "man" thing. Also a "man" thing: attempting to get distance from a topic, approaching it in a disinterested fashion.


Also a "man" thing—physical courage. (I guess, not quite: physical courage "co-constitutes" masculinist glaciology along with nationalism and colonialism.)


There's criticism of a New York Times article that talks about glaciology adventures, which makes a similar point.


At the heart of this chunk is the claim that glaciology excludes women because of a narrative of scientific objectivity and physical adventure. This is a strong claim! It's not enough to say, hey, sure, sounds good. Is it true?
क्या आप जानते हैं कि क्या है, पितृ पक्ष में कौवे को खाना देने के पीछे का वैज्ञानिक कारण!

श्राद्ध पक्ष में कौओं का बड़ा ही महत्व है। कहते है कौआ यम का प्रतीक है, यदि आपके हाथों दिया गया भोजन ग्रहण कर ले, तो ऐसा माना जाता है कि पितरों की कृपा आपके ऊपर है और वे आपसे ख़ुश है।


कुछ लोग कहते हैं की व्यक्ति मरकर सबसे पहले कौवे के रूप में जन्म लेता है और उसे खाना खिलाने से वह भोजन पितरों को मिलता है

शायद हम सबने अपने घर के किसी बड़े बुज़ुर्ग, किसी पंडित या ज्योतिषाचार्य से ये सुना होगा। वे अनगिनत किस्से सुनाएंगे, कहेंगे बड़े बुज़ुर्ग कह गए इसीलिए ऐसा करना

शायद ही हमें कोई इसके पीछे का वैज्ञानिक कारण बता सके।

हमारे ऋषि मुनि और पौराणिक काल में रहने वाले लोग मुर्ख नहीं थे! कभी सोचियेगा कौवों को पितृ पक्ष में खिलाई खीर हमारे पूर्वजों तक कैसे पहुंचेगी?

हमारे ऋषि मुनि विद्वान थे, वे जो बात करते या कहते थे उसके पीछे कोई न कोई वैज्ञानिक कारण छुपा होता था।

एक बहुत रोचक तथ्य है पितृ पक्ष, भादो( भाद्रपद) प्रकृति और काक के बीच।

एक बात जो कह सकते कि हम सब ने स्वतः उग आये पीपल या बरगद का पेड़/ पौधा किसी न किसी दीवार, पुरानी

इमारत, पर्वत या अट्टालिकाओं पर ज़रूर देखा होगा। देखा है न?

ज़रा सोचिये पीपल या बरगद की बीज कैसे पहुंचे होंगे वहाँ तक? इनके बीज इतने हल्के भी नहीं होते के हवा उन्हें उड़ाके ले जा सके।
