No, I'm not kidding. I remember seeing something like that in one of Stuart "Taxi Boycott" Hughes' instructional videos on how to use social media for "journalism".David Preisernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-67479719174064574892014-12-11T15:27:22.003+00:002014-12-11T15:27:22.003+00:00Talking about Roger Harrabin, David...

Take a look at it if you've got time. <br /><br />Almost every story he tweets about he 'copies in' other people who, I'm guessing, he hopes might also cover the story. Geoffrey Lean at the 'Telegraph' is one such regular but, way more than anyone else, the man he loves to copy into this tweets is...<br /><br />...George Monbiot. <br /><br />His re-tweets and links are pretty much as you'd expect. The vanishingly rare exceptions, such as a recent link to a piece by Matt Ridley, are only done in order to disagree with the sceptic being cited.<br /><br />https://twitter.com/rharrabinCraighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08741318067991857821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-81215577698435454202014-12-11T00:11:21.790+00:002014-12-11T00:11:21.790+00:00On a related note, Craig, have you seen Roger Harr...On a related note, Craig, have you seen Roger Harriban finally noticing that the "green energy" policies he's been championing for ages end up hurting the poorest and most vulnerable?<br /><br />http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-30404364<br /><br />It's not the fault of the policies, of course. Apparently the nasty Tories aren't spending enough on energy efficiency initiatives, and people will have to reduce consumption. Shocking, I know. Maybe now the BBC will put back that line criticizing the green taxes and policies they oddly redacted from Mervyn King's statement.David Preisernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-89093623319081644542014-12-10T05:51:31.453+00:002014-12-10T05:51:31.453+00:00"Helping the Syrian refugees."

I am not saying hers is an illegitimate viewpoint but she pushes it to the exclusion of all else. <br /><br />No one ever seems to ask pertinent questions e.g. would we just be letting in more would be potential Jihadis and supporters of Sharia, given that a large part of the opposition to Assad comes from the Muslim Brotherhood? That's just as relevant as Mishal Khan "Why don't we do more?" <br /><br />Dan Read Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
