Oh well, then it definitely was my temporarily allowing the FB link through. If I see you referring to a link again and its blank, I'll know.

 

Spoiler: Very bad language, about Boris

 

Nah, I wouldn't give him that much credit, he's just a twat

 

Yep, he lacks warmth and depth to be a ****

 

I was reading funny comparisons between Boris and Trump as you do and i was clickbaited into reading this about the NHS vs american healthcare but found it to be a nice article. An Americn comparing his experience of the NHS with getting the same treatment from American healthcare system. his summing up of the NHS is pretty good so i assume what he says about the US is true too.

Nice change of pace from all the doom and gloom Boris has brought.

Has anyone else watched The Great Hack on Netflix? Delves into the Cambridge analytica scandal.

Truly terrifying. I thoroughly recommend watching it if you get the chance.

It seems that the brexit vote and the trump election campaigns used "weapons grade cyber psyops" to manipulate the votes.

 

Heh. Yeah, no one is particularly threatened by "Blexit", a 'movement' that consisted largely of Russian bot accounts:

And being vociferously pro-Trump (and anti-immigrant, and regularly racist) is TPUSA's very raison d'etre. Owens was useful to them as the black friend who dismisses white supremacy at the same time their leadership was making nice with white supremacists, but she was forced to step down because publicly stating that Hitler's only issue was that he didn't keep it within Germany's borders proved a bit much even for them.

 

Speaking of the wild incompetence of TPUSA, this is the 'Presidential Seal' that was projected behind him when he went up to speak:

No.7 posted it in Ralph Hutch thread.

 

I watched the trailer.... will watch it soon.

 

An interesting development of Pfeffel's private life: GF moves into Number 10, after a hard day at the despatch box and a conversation during the course of which Michel Barnier tells him that the UK's gateau will henceforth be replaced by Mr.Kipling's French Fancifuls Bozza hits the Wetherspoons Claret substitute. ( Brewed in a factory on a Telford industrial estate from sour grapes)

Driven mad by the repetitive playing of Ode to Joy on the glockenspiel interspersed with loud shouts of Stoppppppp Brexitttttttt!! Our hero speaks roughly to recently moved in girlfriend Carrie who responds with a salvo of crockery followed by the expulsion of his undergarments from an upstairs window. A Channel 4 news crew picks up shouts of " Get out of my f...ing house you selfish f...ing c..t!"

The No10 police officer enters the house and advises Bozza that under new legislation recently enacted by the priti Asian lady with an arse the size of Bangladesh he is in contravention of domestic violence laws and has to leave the property forthwith. Exit Bozza pursued by a bear....

 

Well yes. But it should be noted that being vociferously pro-Trump (and anti-immigrant, and regular racist) is the entire raison d'etre for what's left of the GOP, so that's their cover. It's all part of the game they play to reverse cause and effect.

TPUSA-- How can we be racist, we're just a conservative group saying the same things Fox News does?
Fox News-- How can we be racist, when we're just reporting on the President and things of interest to conservatives?
Trump-- How can I be racist when I'm just saying what every conservative says?
Everyone together-- You're just calling anyone who is Republican racist because we disagree with liberals.

No. I don't think everyone I disagree with is racist. I disagree with everyone I think is racist.

 

This is very interesting, when you consider how much media time is spent on it.

Link blocked, will search elsewhere for it.

Got there eventually.

 

I can’t see the “Must tug forelock before and after speaking to me.”

The Honorable Member for the 18th Century. That did make me guffaw. The other stuff just confirms to me what a complete *rick the bloke is.

 

Nice to know he is getting to grips with the important things or do we have another Cameron who only wants to do what he likes rather than what needs to be done!
