For Lowe to try and virtue-wash this as "being vigilant for his constituents" is despicable. He's wasted police and coastguard time and resources, and stirred up alarm and anger by broadcasting baseless nonsense via social media. That's not serving his constituents.

Been doing an audit of the kinds of clients I've been working with over the past few years, and couldn't help but notice that they're all fairly short (I reckon 5 ft 5" or less).
Couldn't figure out why - and then it dawned on me!!

Out in the open: the US administration’s attempt to undermine the EU Digital Services Act (and other regulations) was evident.
Now it has been elevated to formal policy and goal of diplomatic efforts.

Exclusive: Rubio orders US diplomats to launch lobbying blitz against Europe's tech law
President Donald Trump's administration has instructed U.S. diplomats in Europe to launch a lobbying campaign to build an opposition to the European Union's Digital Services Act, which Washington says stifles free speech and imposes costs on U.S. tech companies, an internal diplomatic cable seen by Reuters showed.

Idea - we implement the Truman Show on Trump. Make him pretend he is still in the real world. It's all just a fiction though. As a bonus we can all tune in on some secret website and continue to watch his madness unfurl.

I am *quite* surprised at the number of alternative, radical-thinking people and movements which have happily made use of Substack as their web platform of choice.

This isn’t about Substack “supporting free speech”—it’s about Substack’s own editorial speech & what it’s choosing to say. They’re not just saying “Nazis welcome.” They’re saying “we think other people will like Nazi content too.” www.techdirt.com/2025/08/04/s...

I think it really should be emphasised that what happened here is a tall woman approached a 14 year old to ask if she needed help, and the mother, not the girl, freaked out and is now calling for a ban on trans people being allowed to work with kids.
The employee asked the girl and her mother if they needed help shopping. That’s it. That’s all. The misinformation, the insinuations (because the facts are inconveniently benign) are EXACTLY what was done to lesbians in the 80s. This is the product of hate and fear, not reality.

It’s almost as if Brits elected a centre-left party who enacted far right policies [penalising ppl with disabilities, banning protest, persecuting Queer ppl & making the Equalities Commission into an anti-minority star chamber]. Fun fact - 9% of the population are Queer & 1 in 5 ppl has a disability

If you have a website that publishes content that might be deemed political - or could harm someone's reputation - you might want to check the Removals tab in Search Console to keep an eye out for 3rd party removal requests (see Outdated Content tab).
