    So you tell us we're victims of misinformation but you can't give us an example. Not even one.
    I can give you a couple to get you started:
    Iraq had WMDs.
    If you take the covid jab you can't transmit the virus and it came from a wet market.
    There's loads more.

    Gimme a ****ing second I'm not terminally online.

    I even asked GROK, the twitter Ai how much it suspects misinformation on the platform. It thinks up to 30 percent of the posts have misinformation.

    Figured this would be better than just scrolling for a tweet with incorrect information on it.

    Good point about putting Americans first. I tend to agree I’d support someone doing the same for the British. I’ll give it some thought. OLOF is still a tosser though.

    I'd also quite like to see someone take a DOGE style approach to our goverment. So much overspending on ****e I suspect.

    **** the triple lock as well. That's 130 billion a year saved right off the bat.

    The Office for Budget Responsibility says the cost was £124.4billion in 2023/24, and will be £138.1billion in 2024/25.

    The bill is forecast to get to £169.4 billion by 2029/30.

    So in short I got my figures from quite literally, the English govement. If you have a better source though pal? I'm all ears.

    Go check your figures I suggest you are quoting total state pension cost not the amount the triple lock costs

    One report estimates that the triple lock costs around £10 billion of total pension costs (Hobson et al, 2023). This means that the pensions bill would be £10 billion cheaper if pensions were indexed to either prices or wages alone.

    And yet these idiots are willing to pay Mauritius £80 billion to take the Chagos islands <doh>

    Triple lock is peanuts in comparison.

    I genuinely don't get the logic behind this move. I'm assuming there is none and it's as mad as it sounds.

Just give it all the never worked brigade and fake blue badge car drivers who swan around in new cars without the supposedly disabled passenger anywhere to be seen, then of course our refugees who are fleeing the myriad of wars in virtually every continent on the planet...yeah **** the old ****s let 'em rot <ok>

    The government are the biggest culprits at dishing out misinformation and bullshit to be fair

    House of Lords needs to be ****ed off I agree.

    Absolutely insanity there's people in there with links to the KGB, the Sue Gray appointment was sketchy as **** and the that young lass who may or may not be Boris sprog.

    Just corruption everywhere in UK politics
