Paisley of course being instrumental in those 'plantations' - i just thought it weird to suggest he didn't start the Troubles, when he pretty much did.

Not to say Musk is comparable - he's not even close to the main actor here. But he is a public figure who has been using the social media platform he owns to stir up hatred against particular groups of people in the UK. And not just on this occasion, he's been chiming in for years.

I'm not understanding your comparison to the Troubles, because Paisley was the lead figure who fuelled the fires of religious hate through his influence, having founded a number of the groups involved in the incidents that kicked off the Troubles.

Maybe it wasn't a single speech that caused it, but he was very much the face of the loyalist movement for most of his life.

It was last revised under the Criminal Law Amendment Act 1885 where it was raised from 13 to 16... so I would think it probably was designed exactly that way. None of the parliaments in the UK seem to have any intention of raising it.

Ah yes, @bikini.bottom.news!

Omg this is exactly what I've been looking for. I do a lot of media monitoring for work and have been using MBFC to try to measure how reliable my current Google Alerts are, because it throws up some weird and wild news sources.
