If anyone hasn't seen The Great Hack, you should watch it.

Elections aren't anywhere near a fair contest with modern social media.

When things move this fast, we really need a regulator, or a court, that can act quickly and decisively when bare-faced lies are published with no redress.

Or perhaps a public funded broadcaster that is impartial??

The deception is positively Orwellian, and Raab's defence of it on the Today Programme (and elsewhere, I understand) was horrible to listen to.  We need to get a grip of this.  But how?  Government - and they're likely to get re-elected, let's face it - will have no interest in doing anything.

I really do despair.  Johnson is a known liar, as evidenced by the laughter of the studio audience yesterday.  And yet, in all probability, he is going to be returned as PM by the electorate.  Generally speaking, you get the governments you deserve.  Depressing stuff.

Haha! How very dare they?!

Also notice a certain HRH has pretty much made himself available to the authorities. Prepared line of questioning from the Met allegedly opens with;

Met:  Do you prefer Cussons or Carex?

HRH: I'm not into cousins, neither do I care about my ex. I prefer them young.

Met: We're asking you which soap would you prefer for your overnight stay... M'Lud.

Any chance one of you Web Development geeks can create a very large button with the words "Absolute Utter Cunt" every time the word Gove is mentioned?

Or just change the word Gove on here tbh.

TIA

Oh and apparently (according to a friend of a friend of a friend), some fella on Assbook thinks that the BBC are a left bias media outlet. I mean...we've (I've) all made some bold claims before but I actually threw my tea (mug included) through my TV when I read that.

Unbelievable!!!

I understand he is taking a step back, although what from is unclear as no one really knows what his purpose is anyway?

Rachel Riley chooses to wear a T-shirt branding Corbyn a racist, which she is well within her rights to do, of course.

The image she has chosen was one of Corbyn being arrested for demonstrating against apartheid. She has photoshopped over the anti-apartheid message on the placard with text saying he is racist.

Really, Rachel? Really?

I am getting a bit pissed off with all the Labour faithful wittering on about the 'fact' that a vote for the Libs is a vote for Johnson, like its the bloody same all over the country!

Round here a vote for Labour is definitely a vote for Johnson as its a straight Tory LD bun fight, yet the candidate and his supporters are spounting out the same old shit!

Interestingly, we have had loads of stuff through the door about the LD's and to date sweet FA from anyone else!

On another vein....
