An interesting read about how the Tories manipulate the media

[festive]

None of that really address what EFL was talking about?

No EFL highjacked my post with an attempt to interpret it with his own opinion and filters of how i see brexit. When did i ever say we should leave with no deal which imho are words i would never use anyway, this is a divorce not a deal, never will be. Where do i start on correcting someone on a forum a) tarring everyone with the same brush b) getting it so wrong. NAh ill leave it thanks..

I just looked at Boris on facebook, did a search. I counted 20 'Boris Johnsons' with his face, all proclaiming to be him. So who are you following exactly? Which fake account?!

This is the real one

The Tories are spending around £50 million of tax payers money on Facebook marketing, which mostly involves paying people who operate fake accounts to comment how wonderful Boris' ideas area.
Look at the marketing accounts, it's all there for all to see.

So why respond to EFL if you weren't going to address his point? He did have a fair point too.

People admit that there is a ton of fake news out there, that we are lied to on a regular basis and yet people still believe what they read. I guess the bottom line is these days that people only will believe what they want to believe and facts, truth or whatever can be damned!

Of course the majority are manipulated apart from the smart ones like the fab 5 on this forum.

Who preach the gospel of Jezza and dream up "facts"" of there own

Or use your common sense.
Why would anyone lie about 39 poor dead souls? What is to be gained by fibbing about this?

Why would a politician lie? What is to be gained by that.. oh, hang on.......

A guy on the TV this morning said lorrys carrying smuggled people are probably coming through customs around 1 a week.

Apparently Brexit is being used as a marketing strategy by the smugglers -do it now before the borders are closed due to Brexit

in reality Brexit will have no material difference to people smuggling -its a worldwide problem that needs wide cooperation to deal with it. The level of customs checks required to stop it would be so onerous goods flow would be slowed too much.

People smuggling will obviously increase after Brexit - all those poor Europeans that will no longer be able to get her legally will simply come illegally.
