The ****s won’t release the impact assessments of their own ****ing **** deal so it’s a bit much to ask them to willingly release a damning indictment of the party and Leave campaign when they can just make stuff up about Corbyn and have their tummies tickled by the press.
It makes me sick. Such corrupt bastards

Can I ask a genuine question ? What are the Russians meant to of done ? I mean I don’t think my brain was hacked by some superpower to make me vote leave, I did it on my own accord.
Looks like we will never know mate. There has been **** loads of fake news and propaganda over the years. Look at the latest rolled out by the Govt regarding the Benn act and foreign money investigation. It was all bollocks yet it didnt stop them spreading to the media to plant seeds.

Can’t imagine anyone would have an issue with this. Demockraseeeee and all that.

You must log in or register to see media

Yeah, it works when it's set out in that simple form. The problem comes when they're asked how they would campaign in the referendum.

I’m not sure second time round it would really matter and as a damage limitation option it’s about as un-**** a Brexit as we could hope for anyway.
 
The National Audit office say successive Tory governments have failed to build even one of the promised Starter Homes for first time buyers under 40. In 2015 in their manifesto, they promised 200,000 by 2020. What do you get from Tories, only promises, promises, promiises, and now they go outside the laws of the land to deliver their Brexit. And don't. Promises,promises, promises.....
They couldn't have built them while Jeremy corbyn has a problem with Jews though. What planet are you on!

But then isn’t it for us as individuals to make our own choices and do our own research to decide what’s fake and what’s real ?
Am I giving the run of the mill member of the public too much credit ?

Saying all that, I did have a ‘conversation’ with a patients friend last week who was trying to tell me Hitler was actually a good man......:(

The average bloke on the street isn’t completely thick but 50% are below average.

A good question, Stainesy. The only suggestion I've heard is that they may have helped fund pro-Brexit advertising. I suppose they might have run some sort of internet campaign. Bots on Twitter etc

I agree it is a good question by Staines. Would be great to be allowed to see the report to quash or confirm our theories.
