You've got to almost admire the brazenness of what the Tories are doing with Google, Twitter etc.

The Dutch Tories (VVD) had google ads in 2015 for the local elections entitled "Election Voting Guide" (Stemwijzer) which appeared to be the official voting guide (Stemwijzer) offered by a well known impartial institute. But when you clicked on the link, it took you to the VVD website. I know, because it happened to me.
Anyway, I screenshotted their misleading crap and complained to the advertising standards board in the Netherlands. The head of the board threw out my complaint. I had to appeal and pay a 50 euro fee. I won and got the 50 euros back.Last edited by anton pulisov; 21-11-2019, 13:34.

Corbyn said it the correct way for this side of the Atlantic. But the late Epstein was form the USA.
So both Corbyn and Johnson are right, depending on how you want to look at it.

Adam Boulton objecting to Corbyn’s use of a neruda quote is a glorious vision of English provincialism

It's like saying you're othering Trump's new favourite war criminal Eddie Gallagher by saying his surname like Irish people would. It's absurd.
*Unfortunately the dumbest came yesterday too, when Rabbi Zvi Solomons claimed Corbyn was an antisemite by giving BoJo a copy of A Christmas Carol, because of Fagin in Oliver Twist.

The one with whom I have a mutual friend. Wary of mentioning her name as I got threatened and try-doxed on Twitter and Facebook last time, and was accused of bullying someone with MH issues.
I'd hope she gets sued for infringement of copyright and libel, but she doesn't have any money (had to crowdfund her rent).

My favourite pledge is probably the one where I get the franchise, which is nice as I've lived here for 12 fucking years now and even if I decided to spend £1300 on the first day I was eligible on a passport which is about to lose a fuckload of its value, I probably still wouldn't have one yet.
But the Cricket World Cup one is pretty good too. I'd love the Rugby World Cup to be Category A too. It's always been on free-to-air, but I wonder just how long that will last.
