I stopped using it regularly in November 2022 (after 13 years and a few months), may have made a couple of posts in 2023, but none since then. https://proseandpassion.blogspot.com/2022/11/decline-and-fall-of-twitter.html My page is still up (hope dies last), with my mastodon address in the user name. What on earth will it take for #UKlabour #UKgovt #UKpolitics to stop using X?
On 23 Dec 2025, #UKgovt lost a huge #Judo contest. #GretaThunberg used the #UKgovt's own power against it.
In July, the UK banned #PalestineAction as "#terrorist". Arrests for supporting PA total ~2,500, mostly older people. #Greta is the latest.
UK public opinion opposes the arrests. But Greta's fame takes the disdain global.
If Greta is convicted, the UK globally looks cruel. If she is acquitted or uncharged, it globally looks weak.
The UK govt has trapped itself, with no way out. #ukpol
