Surely the authorities should step in and put a stop to this. It is blatantly dishonest and amoral, it goes beyond dirty tricks. An affront to democracy, it has got Dominic Cummings’ dirty paws all over it. Three weeks to go and the Conservative campaign is already in the gutter, by next week it will have reached the sewer.

Best thing you can do is repeatedly click on the link and use up their funding

Plenty of tits & cunts in politics :wink:

Yes, i totally get that, but it’s not the point is it? Action should be taken to stop this happening in the first place. It is clearly dishonest and a blatant attempt to mislead voters. It is just plain wrong. It shouldn’t be left to google or twitter or whoever to police it, the electoral authority should step in and stop it, but they just seem to be helpless, disinterested even. What is the point of them? I’m sure i’m not the only one who thinks that if it was the Labour Party setting up these fake sites they would have come down on them like a ton of bricks.

They have to be in some form of education until eighteen now, be it sixth form or an apprenticeship .

New rules which imo, weakens the case for 16 year olds.

The snidey thing they have done is Nick the domain name - as for the rest, it’s well signposted that’s it is a Tory production and paying to for ad words to boost up search pages - it is done daily by all everyone these days

My competition does against our company name and we return the favour

Postal ballot turned up today

The Lib candidate lives in Oxford - wtf

This just popped up on facebook.

No thanks.

Johnson has pulled out (first time for everything) of the Channel 4 leaders debate.

Aye so he can spunk all over democracy


They know Johnson is a liability if he is exposed to the public in all his bullshitting lying glory. The Daily Mirror has been banned from the Boris Battlebus, friendly journalists only. Likewise they are banned from attending any of his stage managed campaign speeches, they were forcibly turned away by Johnson’s minders from entering a venue yesterday. It is all very North Korean.

Problem is, for this to be acknowledged as influential, we have to admit the unpleasant truth
 that there are some thick as shit voters out there who will swallow anything as we saw with with the brexit bus, and Farage’s racist posters
 We have enough ignorant fucks in this country who hold the power
 in some respects its like you get some fucking awful abusive parents as you don’t need to prove you are emotionally and mentally capable to have a child
 same as you don’t to have a vote
 we can’t really be pissed off when we have a nation run by complete arseholes, when so many fucktards can vote

The parallels of Trump’s strategy continue.

Shouting “Fake news” and accusing media outlets of bias is straight out of Trump’s playbook.

Gove is asked a straight and valid question and instead of answering attacks the motives of the questioner and his news organisation - making himself look like a cock in the process.

Liz Truss is so bad I feel almost sorry for her.

Hope you are just as outraged :wink:

I’ve had a few youngsters at work(can take them at 16).
Apprenticeship is pushing it a bit.
They go to a business that doesn’t really give a shit and i don’t mean me.
The college(as far as trades go) is a fucking joke. They teach them fuck all, just repeat the simplest bits again and again for two years whilst constantly sending me forms to fill out with questions that have no logical bearing to the trade or learning in general. They’re also so badly worded that i can use the whole answer box pointing out why the question doesn’t make any sense :wink:
All in all, the whole system is a fucking expensive shambles.
