    I think you can see the hand of Dominic Cummings in all of this by all accounts he has complete contempt for anyone that isn’t Dominic Cummings and thinks the vast majority of voters are morons which he things was proved by the Brexit vote when so many feel for the lie on the side of one bus and believed the whole population of Turkey was moving to England on the next one.

    Try reading – WTF by Robert Preston on that.

    What we are getting from the Tories is the big lie propaganda technique so beloved by dictators and authoritarian regimes throughout history - where a known falsehood is stated and repeated and treated as if it is self-evidently true, in hopes of swaying the course of an argument in a direction that takes the big lie for granted rather than critically questioning it or ignoring it.

    Say 50,000 nurses, say 40 hospital, say the NHS is safe in our hands

    They might be all lies but that doesn’t matter just keep saying it and repeating it and get your friends in the media to say it and repeat it and eventual some people will think it true.

    The question is do people fall for it is Dominic Cummings’ assessment of the voters correct?

  11. I can't get my head around this Brexit party bullshit.
    Politicians can be a bunch of idiots.

    I think you should look at the policies rather than who leads the party that you follow.
    IF their policies sound good. Vote for them

    All these criticisms of the Labour Party being anti-semitic is all a load of bullshit !!! - it all stemmed from when criticism was made of the zionist policies towards the Palastinians. Netanyahu took such criticism badly and started to accuse people who did criticise the zionists as anti-semites. The right-wing press and the scumbag 'nasty party' have taken up the allegations to damage the Labour Party and in particular Jeremy Corbyn, because he is, in their eyes an extreme left wing Marxist. I have to tell you he is no such thing !!! Jeremy Corbyn has merely reverted to the principles and policies the Labour Party once stood for prior to Bliar !!!

  13. To be honest i reckon you have hit the nail on the head.
    Not many people like the so called Tories, which to me sound like the Jehovas witness religious group. If you ever get those people knocking at your door - they are just as bad as the Tories.
    Brexit party sounds like a crock of shit.
    I don't see why they need to change currency

    every country needs their own currency. they need to be independent of each other. Britain does not need to be controlled by the EU. the world does not need global dominance

    Again I find it hard to take advice on who is an idiot from a known liar

    Ok which interview and what was idiotic and why?

    Otherwise this is just an insult, I mean I call you out as I liar that’s not an insult because I can show that you lied, I can explain why and it is documented.

    So can you explain why you think Corbyn is an ‘idiot’?

    But the right wing media and pundits try not to explain the policies because an honest analysis of them would should up just how bad the right wing party’s policies are and how much better are those of left leaning groups.

    The problem this time around is that the right have the problem of Boris who comes across as a buffoon, a deeply dishonest buffoon the more he is looked at so they are attacking Corbyn with even more vigour in the hope nobody thinks about Boris.

    Even the BBC has been trying to airbrush Boris they used another years footage of his appearance at Remembrance Day because he messed up this years (even putting the wreath upside-down) and then in editing a speech cutting out the audience laughing at him after he praised honesty.

    Why what are your actual arguments in support of these ideas.

    I mean the EU was formed because when Europe was a bunch of separate nations competing with each other it kept having wars.

  18. The media can be big liars mostly in elections.
    Their propagander has been nothing but a crock of shit.
    Nobody wants brexit. Yet it's being shoved down the uk's residents throats like somebody is forcing them to eat lambs fry.
