In the way that Cleverly was yesterday insisting that the doctored Keir Starmer video was a) cut short for posting purposes - then b) obviously satirical given the jolly plinky-plonky music.

Yup - the Tories are such a bunch of jolly-japers...:(

How do you know what politics Chris follows. It was a joke, if you can't see that then you have a problem but I suspect your just another one try to make a non point. I could just post Whatabootry I suppose but that obviously doesn't apply to you.

Listened to a podcast today talking about the Boris launch speech he did somewhere in the West Mids yesterday. And they said they were there through all the preparations and it was like a military operation and completely staged. Specific people in the crowd got given banners and told where to stand and when to shout etc etc. It was then filmed to look like the place was rammed when it was actually like TOTP where clever camera angles make it look like there are lot more people there than actually are. Have no doubt for a second this goes on across the board, but another example of just how poorly we are being served by our politicians with most of these type of things being heavily controlled and attended by hard core party acolytes, and how much these things are mostly about image and spin with very little substance.

Bit like a normal political launch by all parties then.
 
All of what is being said and people leaving is just utter school yard rubbish .. dunno when this really started I remember the Kinnock advert about tax bombs etc .. but it must of happened earlier.
The point is it is about Brexit -
Are you happy with Boris' deal (although the message is pretty sad in "let's get it done" - is kind of desperate)?
Are you happy to have a renegotiation and an opportunity to decide on that or staying .. Labour ?
Do you just accept that given the 3 years and massive efforts and falsehoods that actually just stay and get on with it ?

Forget all the other stuff it's slight of hand to convince the feeble mind that there are other messages to read .. those messages mean nothing, the Brexit status is key.

I literally said that in my post but thanks for replying to every post that mentions the tories and something vaguely uncomplimentary. You know you can get bots to do that that work out a lot more efficient then employing humans. ;)

eh? Chris? It was Cleverly trying to pretend that the video wasn't doctored to make Starmer look dumbstruck to all those out there viewing it in simply the context of their Social Media, and out of context of the interview as a whole.

So just a little bit staged like the Labour conference votes were?
 
Every launch, every meeting, every walkabout is stage managed with plants (member, activists etc) meeting and asking the questions for EVERY party. Occasionally a real person slips through the net, ask Gordon Brown how well that works? :LOL:

Be careful, you'll be accused of taking a job away from a bot.

Bit like you then, how much is Momentum membership these days.

I have only voted Labour a couple of times in my life, and that was for a local MP we used to have who was a great local constituent MP with absolutely no pretensions of getting into cabinet, he was just there to make the life of local residents better where he could. We now have a momentum type and he probably will not be getting my vote. But feel free to think that just because I am not a fan of most Tory policies that I am a member of momentum.....

Again in a part of my post that you have not copied I said that this will more than likely occurring across all parties. I just have one example with evidence from someone who was there so I was using said evidence and facts.

Yep not great being pigeon holed, people always jump to the wrong conclusions
 
This is Johnson's launch yesterday, reminds me of the big rally May held up in Northumberland at the start of the last GE. Looked packed on tv, then when they panned out, there was about 20 people there!75474155_2686247628103924_2854224596775731200_n (1).jpg

Actually this has given me an idea, instead of banning people, one suggestion might be to change the Status of a poster in their profile to 'Russian bot'. What about it mods ;)

I really don't understand this.

I'm sure they could have filled a hall with party members / activists that were vetted appropriately. Doesn't need to be a hanger that size.
Surely fairly obvious that media would be able to take images like this and show it up as a bit of a sham.

Are they just so paranoid that one rogue will slip through the net and hold up a Stop Brexit or Boris is Lying sign?
