    There's a number of apps that do it for you eg https://www.splitmyfare.co.uk/ . I have trainline on my phone which saved round 1/3rd from Waterloo to Southampton Central earlier this year. It was a direct ticket.

    We can’t afford to pay the nurses a decent wage, the government says, yet this was paid to private health companies for practically nothing in return, in just 12 months.

    This is up there with a Led by Donkeys video and could easily be applicable to the UK.

    Twitter has released proof that the democrats alongside mainstream media and social media conspired to hide Hunter bidens laptop.

    Everyone that called it a “conspiracy theory” was wrong. They did collude.

    A lot of people on this forum called me crazy for thinking social media & legacy media were pushing narratives. Well. The truth is they have been doing exactly that

    Genuinely biggest political scandal in my lifetime. Finally we have proof of political agendas being pushed on social media.

    The biggest political scandal in your lifetime? Are you 3 years old or something? I’m not sure this is even the biggest political scandal of this decade. Or even the top 10.

    Also I expect your claims of what people told you on here are unfounded. I’m not sure anyone called you mental for saying “this” was a cover up (not least because what “this” is still isn’t 100% clear from your screenshots - because if this is mostly Hunter biden’s laptop then it is laughable)

    The closest people on here come to calling you mental
    Is usually questioning (or teasing) about how you absolutely categorically will not believe the “mainstream media” about anything. But will pick out sources like this taibbi guy above and because he says something you agree with you will unquestionably agree with the source and tout it as unimpeachable proof. And there have been similar cases with minor US tabloids and other strange sources. It becomes a bit daft after a while. But it is still not an accusation of madness. Just massive inconsistency

    This might be the most laughable thing I have ever read on the internet. ‘Finally we have proof of political agendas being pushed on social media’. We have had nothing but proof of that for the last fifteen years!

    The current US government used social media to stifle free speech.

    They have been censoring anti-government communication.

    Yes - it’s huge. It’s literally facism. It’s fundamentally unacceptable. Just because you don’t understand why it’s such a big deal doesn’t make me a 3 year old.

    This is all based on internal emails straight from communication between government and Twitter

    I have been told by many people on this very forum that such agendas are not real. And that that it’s a conspiracy theory that political narratives are pushed on media platforms

    Getting upset that an amendment has been called ‘not absolute’ is pretty funny. It is an amendment and it absolutely is not absolute!

    Free speech is not absolute. For example, hate crimes. I mean what is all this???

    I don’t think anyone has ever said political agendas are not pushed on social media. However, that doesn’t mean that people believe in a weird liberal conspiracy. Powerful people push their ideologies all the time - but Trump benefitted massively from that. As do the Tories here.
    What never gets pushed is liberal socialism for some reason…

    The Hunter Biden laptop was blamed on PUTIN

    THEY CALLED IT RUSSIAN DISINFORMATION

    BUT IT WAS REAL

    AND

    THEY KNEW

    AND THEY COVERED

    IT

    UP.

    This is ****ing insane. It leads into everything that I’ve been saying. There were potentially narratives about covid that were pushed, narratives about elections that were pushed, narratives about Brexit..who ****ing knows?

    A lot of the things that were “conspiracies” could easily be true. The extent of the corruption and how lives & freedoms have been affected needs to be explored

    Don't post in here normally, but have to say that unless you are desperate to believe in some grand media conspiracy rather than Elon musk trying to get some fresh leverage on his new investment. If you really want conspiracy in American politics, you need to look into the gun lobby. And military. And oil and gas. And healthcare. It's a deeply broken political system and media is the finger pointed by these lobbies to distract (not that US media is great by any means)
