Shows the country is crazier than Boris.And shows what a sterling job the establishment and right wing media have done in convincing people that the Labour Party are communist scum.Which is what I was called several times at the prorogue demo last Satdi.
Don't get me wrong Billy,i am not for one minute denying that the right wing press is bias on some of the things it chooses to report because it does and your example given is a valid one.. The point I am trying to get across is that a lot of people blame that entirely on why the Labour party are doing so badly and it's just not true and the reasons and examples I gave are prime examples of that,and until both Labour officials and supporters start to accept that,recognise and stop giving tap in's left right and centre like yesterday.Then to the electorate they are not a viable alternative...Surely that's a point you can agree on????
The printed press is becoming less and less influential. Facebook and twitter paid content is where it really is having impact on public opinion. The Average Joe or Josephine seems less interested in challenging stuff they see on FB for validity for some reason. FB (god knows why) seems to be a trusted platform.

Which of course has the problem that you only see 1. What you have an interest in and 2. What your friends/those you follow have an interest in. This is a dangerous position for the media in future and for society as a whole. We've seen it as DRFC fans when the moaners shout loudest at the board it can quickly be seen as the truth. Social media can be very very dangerous.

Social media can be very very dangerous.It's FAR worse than that.The Right, aided and abetted by Russia, have weaponised FB feeds to pour lies directly at people who they've identified as being susceptible to believing lies.Like I say, the biggest issue of our time. Do we actually care about the truth?
BFYPBut it's a fact that the Left wasn't using illegal means to profile particular groups, then target them with specific lies designed to provoke them into voting That is PRECISELY what Cummings did in 2016, and what he'll be doing in the upcoming election if he can get away with it.
