Saying an event "seemed" to pass off peacefully, without knowing that it did, is an editorial choice, not a reporting of news. It is something that does not to be said.

More than half of accounts posting about violence in Belfast & Southampton on X were based overseas. Only 4 of the 12 most-seen posts were from the UK. X is now "“a weapon of choice” for hostile foreign actors seeking to manipulate shocking & divisive content". www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

"Nearly a third of all 43,000 posts on X relating to the two incidents contained racist or anti-immigration comments. Almost one in 10 relating to Belfast contained calls for violence or paramilitary or vigilante action.

Imran Ahmed, the chief executive of the Centre for Countering Digital Hate, said the data demonstrated that X had become “a weapon of choice” for hostile foreign actors seeking to manipulate shocking and divisive content.

Their goal, he added, was “to amplify local tragedies and crises, intensify racist narratives, and incite violence in communities they have never set foot in and to whom they have no real connection.”"

I feel like we are living under subscription capitalism. So many things you can't just buy one off like you used to - a DVD, a CD, software! Ongoing costs mean people have less money each month to budget with and spend before it's even begun, because subscriptions mean so much is already committed.
