Thanks.

Permission revoked.

There's been a huge swing towards Threads this last week or so, thanks mainly to Musk's continued hate-stoking about civil war in the UK (BBC). I am regularly seeing posts with 10s of thousands of likes now, which was very rare till recently.

Anyway, here's a superb 15-post thread listing which influential Brits to follow - journos, comedians, etc.

Threads app: long-press then follow-all, for each post.

Musk can't be reigned in fast enough.

1. Boycott Tesla.
2. Advertisers should boycott X.
3. Regulators should threaten Musk with arrest if he doesn’t stop disseminating lies and hate.
4. The US Federal Trade Commission should demand that Musk take down lies that might endanger individuals.
5. The US government should terminate its contracts with him, starting with Musk’s SpaceX.
