Divert attention and blame and let the public squabble argue with each other instead.

They even found some guy giving a nazi salute to include in the article. He might have been hailing for another round of drinks but that certainly wouldn't help the pravda.

Certainly the most prominent at the moment. I still get a kick out of people who think that Labour politicians have working class origins, live in ordinary homes, and take an ordinary wage! In actuality, all three parties are comprised of the rich, with rich backgrounds, rich educations, multiple homes, and wages none of us will see in a lifetime.

They do not give a monkies about ordinary people, so far as they can use them to further their own careers and financial gains. That is why they are so resistant to Brexit, it could impact their bottom line and retirement plans!

Having mixed in their ranks for many a year I tend to agree
