Announce protest actions, general chit chat or give your opinion on issues we haven’t covered for the day.
The Editor doesn’t moderate this blog, 3 volunteers do, they are very lenient to provide you a free speech space but if it’s just deranged abuse or putting words in bloggers mouths to have a pointless argument, we don’t bother publishing.
All in all, TDB gives punters a very, very, very wide space to comment in but we won’t bother with out right lies or gleeful malice. We leave that to the Herald comment section.
EDITORS NOTE: – By the way, here’s a list of shit that will get your comment dumped. Sexist abuse, homophobic abuse, racist abuse, anti-muslim abuse, transphobic abuse, Chemtrails, 9/11 truthers, Qanon lunacy, climate deniers, anti-fluoride fanatics, anti-vaxxer lunatics, 5G conspiracy theories, the virus is a bioweapon, some weird bullshit about the UN taking over the world and ANYONE that links to fucking infowar.

The council of the famed Palestinian city of Jericho, known in Arabic as ‘Ariha’, has named a street after Aaron Bushnell.
Abdul Karim Sidr, the mayor of Jericho in the occupied West Bank, said Bushnell had “sacrificed everything” for Palestinians at a ceremony to unveil the new street sign on Sunday.
US airman Bushnell set himself on fire outside the Israeli embassy in Washington on 26 February to protest Israel’s war on Gaza, which has killed 31,112 Palestinians to date.
“We didn’t know him, and he didn’t know us. There were no social, economic or political ties between us. What we share is a love for freedom and a desire to stand against these attacks [on Gaza],” the mayor said standing in front of a small crowd gathered at the ceremony….
…..
“I’m about to engage in an extreme act of protest, but compared to what people have been experiencing in Palestine at the hands of their colonisers, it’s not extreme at all.”
As flames engulfed him, Bushnell repeatedly shouted “Free Palestine!” before collapsing. He died from his wounds shortly after.
RIP Mr Bushnell, you are now bound for the place of the good spirit away from we devils full or part-time, on earth. We are all complicit by omission if not commission.
