WeX Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 It seems Galloway not only wants to represent those who want to see the UK become more like certain parts of the world, he wants to help them do it by removing some social media entirely from the UK. http://www.gizmodo.co.uk/2013/03/mp-wants-criminal-twitter-banned/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obelix Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 I'd happily ban Twitter if it meant we could ban Galloway in return. I don't think he'd go for that somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s2 blade Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Galloway is a numpty that says anything to get in the media . Him wanting something that is in its essence a tool that allows freedom of speech on any subject you like to be banned does not surprise me though . It would be popular with certain people though no doubt . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Twitter is just a medium. Banning it won't make bad people go away. His problem seems to be that the authorities cannot access personal data to identify tweeters of interest. Why not propose legislation which forces Twitter to cooperate more fully with the authorities? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not propose legislation which forces Twitter to cooperate more fully with the authorities? They're based in the USA & don't have any staff or assets in this country.

PeteMorris Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Twitter is merely a 'marketing tool' for 'celebrities' (I use that word reluctantly)....It's not really for the likes of us commoners! If it disappeared off the face of the planet tomorrow, I wouldn't miss it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phanerothyme Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Galloway prefers a medium where he is totally in control of the "dialogue", so he can simply cut people off and then spend 10 minutes chanelling Hugo Chavez in an egotistical diatribe. I follow his tweets - he's not liking the drubbing he gets on there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mecky Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 He hasn't done any reality TV shows lately has he? He has to say anything to try and keep himself in the limelight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
