Television host Jeremy Vine stoked anger when he suggested that Twitter (X) should be “shut down” completely to stop conspiracy theories, pointing out that “China does it”.
Vine made the comments earlier this week during a debate about speculation surrounding the health of the Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton.
Boomers have become obsessed with speculating that Middleton has died or is severely unwell and that the Royal Family is hiding it because she hasn’t been seen in months after an operation.
The manipulation of a photo of Middleton and her children also only served to fuel the rumors.
However, instead of dismissing the whole issue for what it is, a pointless distraction that will disappear once Middleton makes a public appearance around Easter, Vine called for draconian measures.
“If there any argument to say, and this will sound crazy, but China does it, we’ve got to now take control of Twitter and shut it down for the time being,” said Vine.
Ah yes, the Communist dictatorship of China, which shuts down the Internet to clamp down on dissent and enhance its repression of undesirables.
That’s definitely who we should be mimicking, Jeremy.
Throughout the COVID pandemic, Vine’s show was a platform for some of the most vulgar, authoritarian drivel imaginable.
One show asked if children who are unvaccinated should be banned from schools or made to wear special badges.
Another asked, “Is it time to ban the unvaccinated from traveling?”
Vine has made a name for himself as being a dutiful amplifier of regime messaging, while his annoying side hobby of biking around London looking to film confrontations with motorists has also angered many.

Reminds me of the episode of Seinfeld where Jerry’s shaving his chest hair…
“Women do it!”
“China does it!”
Idiot.

The Foreign Nazis that rule America have taken everything ELSE from us! Why not Twitter, too!?
You don’t need us nazis in the US to take everything from you, your government is doing just fine accomplishing that task for us.
