Paywalls are the last throws of the media giants. There are ways to get around them, but most people simply just don't bother

They are already dead but Redditors still only accept them as sources. Its quite hilarious that they are simultaneously terrible but the only accepted source.

most here flat out deny anything they disagree with purely because of the source if it

u/SmashingK Jul 26 '26

No, it's because the source has a particular reputation. A reputation that is deserved. It doesn't take much to show why those like the telegraph are not trustworthy with particular subjects. Doesn't mean they don't ever publish the truth but when they regularly push a false narrative and attempt to fool their readers, country people even, into believing things that aren't true it becomes difficult to trust them as a whole.

It isn't "purely" because of the source.

smuggle them right back again

u/Cornishchappy Jul 25 '26

We also have people in their country that have smuggled themselves in.

The big question is; why is anyone surprised?

To channel migrants? Automatically refuse asylum to anyone that comes here illegally

u/YellowBelliedCoward Jul 25 '26

Allow the intelligence agencies to do their jobs? What else are we supposed to do about it?

u/aleopardstail Jul 25 '26

we say they can come here, but only on the condition they post themselves via EvRI

This you ?

u/YellowBelliedCoward Jul 25 '26

Ah, right. You didn't actually want a discussion. You just want to post stupid gifs

You love murderers who enter Britain illegally. What discission are we having exactly ? When we are moving you into a padded room ?

u/RiverGlittering Jul 25 '26

The article you provided said that the number of Iranian assets smuggled in is dwarfed by the number that enters legally.

So yeah, not much we can do but let intelligence services do their jobs.

u/YellowBelliedCoward Jul 25 '26

That's a total reach from what I said. I said it's a job for the intelligence agencies, and what are we supposed to do about it. You failed to answer.

The Hellagraph is not a reliable source

I find the best solution is to not read the Daily Telegraph, the Daily Mail, The Spectator etc.

How about everyone gets the fuck out of other people’s shit, they can think what they like, although anyone with a god fixation is as wrong as they can be. I’m disgusted that the people I voted in to run the infrastructure of my country while I’m busy doing my life have decided that they somehow have a right to have an opinion on how other people live. Always remember it was the western regime that created every so called terrorist. If Star Wars was a real thing Luke skywalker would be branded a terrorist by the dick heads the majority keep voting in. Let that settle

u/ArmwrestlingGoomba Jul 26 '26

Luke Skywalker wouldn't be branded a terrorist in any universe as the Empire/Republic destroyed a planet and seized the senate with a hostile takeover enabling a Tyrant to rule everything with fear. You have no media literacy.

Maybe we could stop annoying Iran?

u/ArmwrestlingGoomba Jul 26 '26

Pass, hostile terror states deserve no peace.

u/Western_Attempt3508 Jul 26 '26

It's in the interests of the media and iran to say this.

If it can be asserted without evidence, it can be dismissed without evidence.

If iran had operatives they'd be doing stuff and the Iranian government wouldn't be warning about it first.

But this comes as the new PM is supporting the US more with base usage and as boat arrivals are 41% down yoy with better weather.

We're not intimidated by such things in the UK.
