^ "Yes minister", the elected politicians have not much to say, are only there for a few years and are being held back by the forever employees, while government takes place elsewhere and the house of commons is just a theatrical stage to give the public the runaround.
Like.. everywhere. :)

Corbyns initial reaction/expression was priceless.

^ "Video is private" (?)

Well found it .. but what could just of all the Labour party have done anyway? Ask questions? Threaten with endless debates? What did the acting government do?

Hey Jim was that the one on the news last week about those Syrian protesters interrupting old JC's speech?

If so the person who uploaded it to YouTube and made it private what a plonker as Del Boy would say, it was all over the news. :haha:

Strange, the link plays for me :hmmm:

It has been a mess staying in now a mess we are leaving. Time we sacked all these politicians as clearly they are all a shower.

Very good article regarding fake news in the (a)social media and what it is able to 'accomplish'. Nowadays a lot of people get their news and knowledge out of social media instead of school or books, and their mindset seems to be formed by believing a lot of this nonsense.

I am not a fan of facebook or twitter, the amount of sheer hate going on there is unbelievable, unless you sort out your friends and suppress all else what is going on there with various filters, so that all is echoing your opinion. Most hate stuff is being based on claims without evidence and sheer lies. And we know that the right and populistic branch has been very quick in adapting and using it.

In Germany, the "word of the year" is "postfactual", simply meaning that the truth has no chance against lies spread over the social media any more. The one who cries loudest is in possession of "the truth".

I'm no big fan of social media either. I have a FB account purely for contact with close family plus those relatives living in Australia and New Zealand plus a small handful of valued friends.

My kids believe their dad to be 'anti-social' :)

I hear on the radio old JC is going to have a make over in 2017, spot of cosmetic surgery? :03:

I don't know what to make of this and yet I feel it will be another bodge job by the government if this goes ahead.
