*I know we'll only be in the "transition" period, which is pretty awful as we're subject to many of the controls that EU member states are, but we will have technically left.

What the fuck

Its interesting you mention it though, as according to The Sun I saw at Asda today, apparently BoJo is promising to end it (again) after he 'sorts Brexit out'. The stuff in The Sun and the Daily Mail is incredibly persuasive, especially emotionally, until you start trying to verify the claims ('Rampant antisemitism', costs, budgets, promises which are made in duplicate each political cycle and never delivered, etc).

Exactly. It's sad more than anything. It's astounding how passionate yet how uninformed the majority of people who read these rags are. Alas opposing either sides views is seen as an attack or calling them stupid.

Austerity is a the tories brainchild. Poor people appreciate scraps from the table more and are easier to make angry and be set on minorities like a gaurd dog.

Tory MP candidate caught getting friend to pose as anti-Labour swing voter as party's disinformation campaign continues.

Lee Anderson, who is standing for the Tories in Ashfield in Nottinghamshire, forgot he was wearing a live microphone while he phoned his friend to set up the fake encounter to impress a journalist. “Make out you know who I am, you know I’m the candidate, but not a friend, alright?” Anderson was recorded saying as he spelled out instructions to his friend minutes before bringing a journalist to his door.

Here's the video of the encounter without the anti-adblock. Absolutely hilarious.

I've been really enjoying listening back through The Resistance album by MUSE

The United States

Uprising


Resistance

Unatural Selection

It makes a decent sound track to whats going on in the UK now: attempted superstates, incumbent governments creating fake fact checking services, 'independant' broadcasters distorting reality to clean the image, words and actions of leaders while suppressing the true reactions to them.

It's a scary, exciting time and everyday something happens that loosens my grip further on reality.

SNP's Sturgeon torn to shreds over Scottish NHS record.

Apparently the Tories were unable to disenfranchise the people with the real Labour manifesto the government created a fake labour manifesto to bogeyman the people with instead.

It's good to see those in power held accountable for their decade of failure.

Now do one for the conservatives, Andrew!

Labour on the charge:

Kantar voting intention research (21 - 25 November 2019):

Conservative 43% (-2 vs Nov 19th)
Labour 32% (+5)
Liberal Democrats 14% (-2)
SNP 4% (nc)
Green 4% (+1)
Brexit Party 3% (+1)
Other <0.5% (-2)

People in this country don't care about the claims of anti-semitism, for some reason it just seems to increase Corbyn's popularity.
