Is it possible to remove strangers mentions on twitter?

[Trav]

There's a few people that I follow on twitter who are very well known, they have thousands of followers. My feed is often covered with re-tweets and mentions from people I don't know or follow because they mention someone I do follow. Is is possible to remove these kinds of posts from my feed? I only want to see what the people I am following have to say, I don't need to know every time they're mentioned or tweeted to.

Ahh no sorry, there is no way to remove a strangers tweets. Twitter currently only has the option of blocking followers, nothing else. There is no way to remove re-tweets and mentions right now.
