Why would I do searches to validate the things you suggest? If you suggest there's a spaghetti monster in orbit of mars am I supposed to go out and try to prove or disprove it?

Anyway, because you linked to social media instead of a proper source, I did go ahead and do that googling, and I found this too

https://committees.parliament.uk/committee/378/culture-media-and-sport-committee/news/197530/culture-media-and-sport-committee-chair-writes-to-broadcasters-and-tiktok-over-russell-brand-allegations-and-investigations/

I totally agree with you, assuming that is a true copy of the letter to rumble which you linked to.

The UK government would be totally overstepping their bounds, by sending this - honestly creepy and horrible - letter to rumble.

In this case, it's a committee of MPs, so not the actual government, but a group of representatives who meet to consider advice to the government about culture media and sports

You can see more about them here

It's not the government but a group of reps who meet and put together advice. So, sure, close enough.

It's a horrible letter and a fantastic response from rumble for their PR.

There is no way a parliamentary committee made up of elected MPs is not the government.

The knots you have to tie yourself in to make this OK should tell you something.

Hey sorry in the UK "the government" or HMG refers to the PM and the cabinet. Some random MP wouldn't be referred to as "the government". So I am not tied in knots, thanks for your concern, there's absolutely no sense in which some random MP out of 600 would be referred to as "the government"
