Trivial things you don't understand/mildly annoy you

Not sure it makes any difference to the NHS or the way they work but I’ve just had a text from NHSvaccine inviting me to get the covid jab when I’ve had it booked and the flu one for two weeks, which as already posted has been done. Still on the flip side at least they’ve sent me a communique about it.

[Audrey]

Had the same. They can stuff the jabs.

I know it's a drop in the ocean of war crimes that are happening but this isn't confirmed as having happened from an independant source.

Here's a disinformation expert sharing how this has proliferated across t'internet

Its interesting that you use the term disinformation, I read an interesting piece last night (feck all to do with Israel/Hamas, it was about how bullshit stories re cycling/LTN/ULEZ spread on the interweb) and it made a strong distinction between disinformation which is untruths spread deliberately and misinformation which is when those triggered unwittingly then spread the disinformation as fact, and the fact that each should be countered in entirely differing manners

[Audrey]

I’ve mentioned this on various threads on various subjects. You can’t tell truth from fiction these days.

There’s a CNN video of one of their ‘in the field’ teams in Israel/Gaza pretending to be under fire. The audio is from the CNN studios producer telling them to look scared and to enhance the noise of explosions to seem closer.

Of course, governments and politicos are well into this as well. Worst thing I heard was the ex PM of New Zealand telling the NZ population ‘if you don’t hear it from us it’s not the truth’.

Do you have a link? It'd be an interesting read and would help me ensure I use the right terminology

I had a quick look at elander news (your source for an EV fire). I have news for you buddy...they're not presenting information accurately

Its often just the way things are written (often I suspect entirely unwittingly), someone picked this up from the BBC.

[Audrey]

Good example. Words matter. The emphasis is stark.

Also, why are Hamas ‘militants’ yet the IRA, for example, were always terrorists.

Leave it with me, it was in a Magazine (Cycling Plus) so I only have a paper copy, but I follow the journo on Twatter so will have a look and see if she has linked to an electronic source?

Edit - I have not listened to this, but she is on this podcast and the content seem similar so assume it will cover the same ground.
