Stiff Upper Lip: Who is Behind the Satirical “News” Website Being Promoted By Conservative Peer on GB News?

  • Sounds like they're trying to do the "Babylon Bee" but for the UK. Seems to be the same calibre of humour as well.

    • Goals

  • Exactly - what I'm trying to say is that if I was dying and I decided that even though I'd never particularly been into, say, Enya before but that now I really, really was into Enya and that in fact, I thought Enya was great and that Enya died for our sins and I wanted an Enya themed funeral with pictures of Enya and lots and lots of mentions of Enya, then I think it would be a bit bloody rich for my sister to ban all mention of Enya from my funeral. Yeah?

    • Alan Davies twitter account is being used to beg for bitcoin.

  • The actual trust in the government isn't the issue, but having their own Mastodon instance would mean that you know this message came from this government. You can verify it with normal HTTPS, rather than just trusting who Twitter gives the blue checkmark to (anyone remember when the Conservative party changed their Twitter name to Fact Check UK and were able to keep their blue check?)

    It could be the same for news companies - you'd know that "@krishnangm@channel4.com" is the real guy, because the domain name is owned by Channel 4, and verified by HTTPS.
