Remarkably even-handed coverage of today’s #PeoplesVoteMarch in The Sun (apart from one instance of “Remoaner”).

Perhaps they found themselves unable to dismiss the sea change running through the electorate following such a show of strength? thesun.co.uk/news/7541298/p…
The same applies to the Daily Mail coverage. Lengthy top story, sticking closely to fact, without provocative language.

Whereas the Express manage to put a negative spin on the march, highlighting a “SMOKEBOMB” in the headline, and leading with comments from the Leave side...
express.co.uk/news/politics/…
The Telegraph buries the story waaaaaay down the front page, and has an almost wholly negative spin (paywall)
telegraph.co.uk/politics/2018/…
The Daily Star seems to have maintained its promise to be a Brexit-free zone. No sign of the march. Anyone would think nothing happened in London today. (No link, for obvious reasons).
From the headline and the little content visible outside their paywall, The Times seems to have covered today’s march pretty even-handedly.
thetimes.co.uk/edition/news/h…
Coverage in The Guardian was unsurprisingly positive. Several top stories, including this summary. The “Leave Means Leave” counter-rally gets one short paragraph at the end.

This is a radio ad the Government has started running as part of its no deal Brexit preparations...

It directs people to a nice website with warm and fuzzy graphics...

And as soon as you go deeper, you're thrown into the opaque preparedness notices.

That's like flying a sky banner saying "Roll up. Learn the secrets of the Universe" then handing people a copy of Stephen Hawking's "A Brief History of Time".

Utterly, utterly bonkers. And as much use as a bun at a bear fight.
(If you missed the link to the "helpful" website further up this thread, here it is again...)

A few thoughts on alternatives to Brexit...
- Bring in proportional representation
- Cancel HS2 and spend the tens of £billions on improving *regional* rail and other transport links
- Turn the HOL into an entirely elected second chamber (its oversight function is useful)
- Recognise the merit of a booming economy in London and the SE. Celebrate it and nurture it. Then milk the cash cow and spread that delicious cream across the whole of the UK.
- Foster an entrepreneurial mentality that rewards a "British Dream" (parallels to the American Dream)
- End the culture of secrecy in Government, except in cases of genuine national security. Transparency and accountability at every level. Shine a bright light into the darkest corners.
- Set up a "regional sifting committee" to vet all large infrastructure projects to ensure that

Government is trying to foist the blame for any Brexit chaos in the adult social care sector off on local authorities and directors of adult social care facilities. This from the letter sent to them on 21 December last year... (Full letter at link below.)
gov.uk/government/pub…
More from the letter:
" Many of these issues will have either a direct or indirect impact on councils and it is also possible that they will have a financial consequence for providers."
More from the letter (doubling down on the "legal" bit):
"I encourage you to work closely with your adult social care providers, in line with your legal market shaping duties, to assure yourself that any impact on providers can be managed locally."

The YouTube algorithm that I helped build in 2011 still recommends the flat earth theory by the *hundreds of millions*. This investigation by @RawStory shows some of the real-life consequences of this badly designed AI.
This spring at SxSW, @SusanWojcicki promised "Wikipedia snippets" on debated videos. But they didn't put them on flat earth videos, and instead @YouTube is promoting merchandising such as "NASA lies - Never Trust a Snake". 2/
A few example of flat earth videos that were promoted by YouTube #today:

I hope it will make politicians think again. I hope it will push some to take a stand. But even if it does nothing else, #PeoplesVoteMarch has shown the rest of Europe that Britain is more than Brexist Leavers - we are European, we are your brothers and sisters, we need you. 🇪🇺

(1) #DidYouKnow that the UK's so-called freedom fighter "Tommy Robinson" is actually Stephen Lennon, Stephen Yaxley, or Paul Harris & once claimed to be Andrew McMaster?

He has an assault, drugs & fraud rap sheet as long as your arm, too.

Time for some facts about him.
(2) The above quote is from this piece. I'm still researching his background online but even from the first few articles I've found it's clear he's a common criminal who carefully massages a public image that is swallowed hook, line & sinker by his fans.

bbc.com/news/uk-englan…
(3) I don't normally rely on leftist sources like the BBC and The Guardian but the basic facts reported, such as criminal convictions can't be spun. I think "TR" relies on his fans' suspicion of "establishment" media to dissuade them from objectively fact-finding about him.

1/ Manu (The progenitor of Humankind)
All different races of Mankind are derived from Manu and Shradha. The current Manu is Vaivasvata Manu.
2/ The word Manu literary means man but it is a title given to the progenitor of mankind. According to Hindu Puranas there are many kalpas (One day of Lord Brahma the creator) and each Kalpa has 14 manvantara and each manvatara has one manu. So basically each Kalpa has 14 Manus.
3/ The current manu of the present manvantara is Shraddhadeva or Vaivasvata Manu of this current Kalpa. He is the son of Vivasvat (Probably Surya) and is therefore also known as Manu-vaivasvata.
