Yesterday it happened. Facebook succumbed and banned Tommy Robinson (and me) on largely spurious grounds because they don’t like what is being highlighted. It’s hard to believe this wasn’t connected to his Panodrama video being viewed 1 million times in under 24 hours.
This video and podcast is a mash up of yesterday and today’s vlogs. I recorded this just before learning about the banning of Mohammed’s Koran.
One issue I raise here, what does the deletion of Tommy Robinson’s Facebook page mean for the case that the UK’s Attorney General is trying to decide on? The entire case rests on a Facebook live stream!
First broadcast September 12, 2005: In this week’s edition of Shire Network News, the official podcast of Silent Running, the inside story on the tragic demise if our original site, the awful fate of those responsible, and the heartwarming tale of our British pluck, Kiwi fix-it-with-a-bit-of-number-eight-fencing-wire resilience and good old Yankee can-do spirit which has seen us indulge in an orgy of useless finger-pointing recriminations.
No wait, I’m sorry, that would be the various layers of government in the United States arguing over who is responsible for what happened in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, Silent Running is already back in business.
SR contributor Kiwi Bob, a former New Zealand emergency service official, talks about how the disaster relief operation seems to have gone in New Orleans, and discusses what might happen if a massive earthquake hits the New Zealand capital Wellington. Here’s a hint – you’re on your own.
We’ll hear from Craig Ranapia of NZ Pundit about how next week’s New Zealand election will play out – his only actual prediction being the safe assumption that on Sunday the 18th there will be many, many hangovers across the land. Blogs mentioned in the interview include Kiwiblog, Public Address, Sir Humphry’s and Frogblog.Laurence Simon pays a very personal tribute to a Houston landmark (mentioning Michelle Malkin’s blog prominently), and finally Our Man in London takes us out with his band’s new single, “Cry Freedom”..
SNN will be taking a break next week, but will be back again, in two weeks time. Complete with “Blog News”, I promise.
First broadcast September 04, 2005: In this week’s edition of Shire Network News, the official podcast of Silent Running, it’s all Katrina, all the time, as we dump the lighthearted Blog News segment on the grounds of taste while people are dying in New Orleans. I don’t want to make jokes this week, and you don’t want to hear them.
Instead, we hear from uber-Katrina-blogger Brendan Loy, and get some international reaction from Canada’s own Damian Penny. Our Man in Londonbring his trans-Atlantic perspective to the story, and updates us on the latest from the British front in the war.
SNN will be taking a break next week, but will be back again, large as life and twice as ugly, on September 17th.
You can now subscribe to Shire Network News on Apple iTunes. Under “Genres”, select “Podcasts”, type the word “Shire” in the left-hand panel just above the message “Search all podcasts”, and click the magnifying glass icon. You should then be taken to a screen where you can subscribe to SNN.
More important than how many bottles of champagne did BBC License Fee payers pay for, what will Tommy #Panodrama reveal about the malicious ways in which Panorama and Hope not Hate were working together to destroy Tommy Robinson?
First broadcast August 28, 2005: In this week’s edition of Shire Network News, the official podcast of Silent Running, Our Man in London talks about the BBC Panorama program which accuses allegedly moderate Islamic spokesmen of extremism, and the latest from the life and death struggle against the most insidious force for evil in the world today – Chris Martin and Coldplay.
We talk to Israeli blogger Dave, from Israellycool, about how the orange side of Israeli society view the Gaza pullout, and we get the blue and white perspective from Jewish political activist and former IDF officer Ted Lapkin. Dave has his own podcast by the way, which I personally reccomend.
