just lmao if you dont think that, 50 years hence, some government memo is going to get declassified which shows how much pressure is being put on the press, local government, and maybe even the emergency services to keep their mouths shut There's no way to put a full lid on this thing, but it's being dragged out and smushed down as much as possible.

DancingShade posted:In my experience every time I thought there was a conspiracy in an organisation to achieve X it always ended up being a combination of simple incompetence, shortsightedness and malicious selfishness. Judging by the amount of false/misleading/out of context information and companies working very hard to influence opinion on social media this doesn't reassure me.

The Eagle has gotten fried (eternal God-PM Bojo wins landslide) after hitting the metaphorical power line (inept handling of public disasters that makes May look competent), into which it has been launched by the strike of a nearby wind turbine blade (lovely liberalism that makes libdems look radical).

Junior G-man posted:Do they really think that this whole 'Corbyn = Venezuelan catastrophe' line is sticking? I've seen it everywhere and so far I don't know anybody who's impressed except for thumb people. Venezuela in recent years is a favourite flogging horse for Tory types because aside from anything else, it's almost impossible to find anything approaching impartial coverage of events, let alone in English media. So they can say "lol socialist country failing" and it's very difficult to cite solid information about why that's wrong. thehappyprince posted:apparently facebook counts 3 seconds as a view tho so who knows how many people actually watched it Rule of thumb is a facebook view is worth about a third of a youtube view.

lol little Johnny mercer has been on Twitter this morning saying that he supports ending the pay cap but won't vote for ending the pay cap because its just politics and the budget will definitely end the pay cap anyway and he's more interested in actually doing stuff for public workers nothing since the u turn on the u turn

"You support the idea. And you're going to do it. But you won't agree to be bi-partisan and put it in the agenda for the next year's business? How can we trust you to do it?"

Private Eye's piece on Grenfell is very good but grim reading. They lay out over two pages the history of the Tenant Management Organisation's attempts to ignore and deflect the residents concerns and the council's attempts to avoid engaging with it up including ignoring the recommendations of their own commissioned study into the situation in the block. I have the feeling this is a warm up to a longer piece in the future.

They're actually pretty ingenious and created a scheme where the sensationalist TOP 10 THINGS YOU THOUGHT WERE A THING articles that gets billions of views pay for the more serious investigative journalism, thereby appealing to both Facebook Mom Looking to Burn Time and Person Looking for Research Material demographics.

VI is pretty good, better than V ever got, but the real good poo poo is IV and SMAC. They're the greatest the 4X genre has ever been. On more current topics, lmao at Jezza having nearly as much influence over govt. policy as he would actually being in No. 10.

So they can say "lol socialist country failing" and it's very difficult to cite solid information about why that's wrong. The reason it's hard to find stuff extolling the Venezuelan government is because Maduro is a shithead and really, really bad at socialism. You can check out the Venezuela thread in this very forum for actual information about what's happening there.

Actually Somalia is also used for left-wingers, because if you don't want a strong government it automatically means you want to be a haven for maritime piracy.
