The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

It is not true that British police can seize your phone simply for looking at a social media post
. This idea stems from a heavily edited and misleading video that went viral in September 2025. Police have debunked this claim and clarified the circumstances of the incident.

No wonder you believe in conspiracy theories. Do you ever check up on anything?

Dope:BTW, to address your original point, yes: the day will come when a democrat is back in the White House. Under Biden the libs didn't bother to conceal their contempt for people who didn't vote for them and took steps to have them silenced in the public square.

We can expect more of that, plus a return to out and out weaponization of the government beyond what Obama and Biden did. They tried once for a social credit score and libs here would LOVE the power that British cops have: they can seize your phone for just LOOKING at a social media post. If they don't like what you say they can outright toss your arse in jail without you facing your accuser.
