Surely this must be more than just individual rape allegation though. An investigation, I have thought be about some kind of Weinstein like huge industry cover up. Individual rape allegations shoukd go to the police.

It should be a bloody big scandal. And if this is about rape then I for one am glad it’s getting ‘hyped up’. It should be. It should never be treated as though any rape is nothing to be concerned about

Of course it should!

Times twitter tweeting an article re sickness benefits claiments going up by 300k in the last year. Can't be that surely.

WHY IS MUMSNET LETTING THIS STAY UP!
THREADS ARE ALWAYS DELETED
SO IT COULD BE ABOUT HOW RUMOURS AND HEARSAY SPREAD SO RAPIDLY ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND HOW IT CAN BE SO DAMAGING

Possible, but if they're playing a psy-op on people to create potentially defamatory / libellous statements wouldn't that leave them open to prosecution?

MadCatLady27 · 16/09/2023 15:04

I can't see anything? Have they managed to block it being released?

Because it’s a proven tactic.

And because it’s utterly blatant with all this“biggest story of the year” hype planted on social media that somebody wants to stoke up a massive story. Why?
okay so channel 4 want views… they want views every day of the year, as does every channel. They will get their views anyway if their programme is any good. So why all this hype up front? Why now? Whose interests is it serving?

No, the proven tactic, as happened with 9/11 and Blair's advisors, was that when something big happens you release public statements that get lost under the bigger news.

Your scenario assumes that everyone is in together all the time. The only time that happened was with Covid. But C4 hate the government so they wouldn't help them.

Vintagecreamandcottagepie · 16/09/2023 15:05

OH COME ON!!!

Mimmy352 · 16/09/2023 15:06

Wow for a paper called the times, they’re not very ON time are they?

CapitanSandy · 16/09/2023 15:06

Any news?

It’s times like this that makes me really miss Celebdaq.

Ah celebdaq, we were just talking about that last week.

more likely late, Toby Young's info on when published wasn't right, or the people saying we are the experiment are right.

if it's blocked Dispatches would follow I assume?

Man I'm too bought into this, I feel like when Chandler realised he was too into his job ("I'm looking at the weenus and I'm not happy!")

@Mimmy352
🤣

Cluckycluck · 16/09/2023 15:06

At this point The Times needs a rename.

MoiraRosesBaybay · 16/09/2023 15:06

Where did the idea of The Times saying something at 3pm come from? Is it something they said themselves?

Finlesswonder · 16/09/2023 15:08

I do believe the times was meant to be releasing something now as when you look at the person's news hits on Google, there are speculative pieces from the guardian, the independent, literally every single paper but the Times
