Anyone seen Boris's 16 tweet thread about the legal issues behind the terrorist's release?

All copied and pasted from the secret barrister except tweet 16 which is simply a lie.

I would say you couldn't make it up, except this is what BoJo does...

I doubt his performances are enhancing his prospects, shambling and rambling, dribbling the ball to the corner flag to waste precious time. Marr accused him of "chuntering" that's exactly what it was. May impress idiots I suppose, he has 17.4 million out there.

I suspect he has a few more than that at the Mo......................
 
The number of people who believe we never landed on the moon are at a all time high. If you want idiots, they are proliferating with every passing moment.
It's the era of misinformation. We have, under our fingertips, the ability to speak real truth or lie, or to read truth or lies. It just takes a certain amount of skill in filtering, to know the difference between the BS and the RT. Some people would rather not bother to acquire the skill. It's their loss, but it ultimately affects us all, as in our fundamentally stupid FPTP political election system, for example.

And it’s only to get worse. New video technology allows people to create a speech that looks like its being spoken by the person you’re watching.

Frightening.

Deepfakes are truly, truly scary. The technology isn't yet perfect, but we're approaching an inflection point where virtually nothing will be provably true, where we quite literally can't trust our lying eyes.

Yes, and I don't quite know how we are going to combat it (Deep Fakes) yet. Because we will have to if society isn't going to fracture more than it is already doing.
 
Boris Johnson went today to commemorate the first female Tory MP Nancy Astor.

She was an anti-Catholic, anti-semite who supported the Nazi approach to the Jews.

Nothing has been reported by the BBC or the press on BoJo's overt sympathy towards racists and anti-semites.

Certainly she was a nazi sympathiser who apparently said that Hitler night be the answer to the global Jewish problem.
But let’s not forget, it’s Corbyn who is the anti Semite, according to the Tories and the media.

The Daily Mail are convinced JC is Hitler. Which, given their record, makes you wonder why they aren’t endorsing him.

Yes, Corbyn is busy building gas chambers in Islington, as the thousands of Jewish Labour voters there will testify.
