Context aside, idk how well the Guardian approach of hiring people prominent on Twitter and trying to control what they post there will work.
One of the most serious threats to free speech is the silencing of criticism of the government of Israel. I have now found this out the hard way, having just been fired as a Guardian columnist for sending a tweet about US military aid to Israel https://t.co/EEfLqjY1IM— Nathan J Robinson (@NathanJRobinson) February 10, 2021

I guess having denounced the left as racist, âtrans allies are no better than racistsâ was inevitably next.

Iâm pretty sure Bindelâs transphobia got her booted from The Guardian on more than one occasion before the editorial team lost the collective plot.

my new ethical consumption thing is im no longer clicking on guardian etc hate reads and from now on will only post cached via archive.org as i refuse to give them their hate clicks. actual journalism stuff is fine, but not their 'why transphobia is not only the best strategy for labour, but morally correct' think pieces. i invite you all to join me in this high-minded and self-satisfied activity.

I've been doing that for a while now, which, along with the fact that I'm not British and don't live in the UK, explains why I hate The Guardian less than some of you. Ignorance is bliss.
