That’s because you get called unpleasant things if you do. ---

I am beginning to wonder if the remainders are beginning to realise that Boris may get a big enough majority to say, fuck the deal. ---

That’s the plan and the farage trump call was all part of it. The brexit plc have a job to do and will do as their American financial backers say(that’s why farage has been quiet lately. He’s been over there taking direction and funds). Is there anyone that believes brexit plc and the Tories aren’t on the same side? ---

It might be from the Survation poll in this article. It’s worth downloading(if you’re interested) as you get to see all the questions and percentages. > **[Four new GE 2019 polls, three narratives, and nothing has really changed](https://inews.co.uk/news/politics/general-election-2019-polls-four-new-polls-three-different-narratives-but-nothing-has-really-changed-357437)** > > Yet again, the polls are a mess ---

Not sure it is. It was carried out by ORB for The Torygraph. These are the relative percentages. [https://twitter.com/zerohedge/status/1190686443770990593?s=09](https://twitter.com/zerohedge/status/1190686443770990593?s=09) ---

It was the 8 points that caught my eye. The lead across all polls appears to be much smaller than the same point in the election process than last time, so there’s hope for change. Cummings and crew will of course lie and cheat as much as they can possibly get away with, so i hope that’s continually brought to people’s attention. You only need to look at their history of illegal campaigning. > **[Johnson and Cummings under fire as police hand criminal evidence on Vote...](https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/dark-money-investigations/johnson-and-cummings-under-fire-police-hand-criminal-evidence-vote-leave-prosecution-agency/)** > > Exclusive: After 16-month investigation, Met Police refer Vote Leave to the CPS for possible criminal charges. But will the timing of the election mean further delay? ---

Imagine my horror this morning (Halloween still going) when I saw this. ![Screenshot_20191103-074202_Facebook](https://discourse-sotonians-uploads.s3.dualstack.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/original/2X/5/52ec665e18a8c404525ea40c53f50442947140fa.jpeg) Err what? Why is that there. I do live in neighbouring constituency. ![Screenshot_20191103-074327_Facebook](https://discourse-sotonians-uploads.s3.dualstack.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/original/2X/9/93a5df0bc34390f575a62d94b0d27d77ce865ea3.jpeg) ![Screenshot_20191103-074347_Facebook](https://discourse-sotonians-uploads.s3.dualstack.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/original/2X/f/f25216d6a8a1160dcab5bf26a801ba714a5cba9d.jpeg) So I checked my ads setting and probably shouldn’t see many ads but sadly seem to. ---

Flaw in what? What’s being lamented here is exactly that the older generation (and others), unsurprisingly, get their news from the national broadcaster. Nobody is trying to redress the balance here, just pissing on each other’s legs hoping something will change. ---

I’ve also noticed this in my phone’s notification area this morning. ![Screenshot_20191103-090601](https://discourse-sotonians-uploads.s3.dualstack.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/original/2X/a/a1a60800696b7dbc36b2707a7b921289dee69949.jpeg) Two YouTube videos from The Sun. Google picks things it thinks I shouldn’t miss based on my browsing history and the things I type about BUT I wonder whether their advertisers can buy space in these notifications? I don’t read the sun or visit their YouTube channel so I wonder how they got there? ---

I don’t get any FB adverts and haven’t for about 10 years. It makes for a very calm and clean FB page…download this free browser extension: [https://www.fbpurity.com/](https://www.fbpurity.com/) It’s especially satisfying to use as FB don’t want you to use it. :lou_lol: [Previous page](https://www.sotonians.com/t/2019-general-election-discussion/5350.md?page=5) [Next page](https://www.sotonians.com/t/2019-general-election-discussion/5350.md?page=7)
