Jonnyboy Posted 10 December, 2019 Share Posted 10 December, 2019 More importantly, a good summary being shared now: Strap yourselves in folks, one of the political stories of the century is brewing... 1. A concerned mother shares a photo of her 4-year-old boy who was forced to wait hours on a hospital floor with suspected pneumonia. 2. The photo circulates online so a journalist challenges Boris Johnson about it during an interview by showing him the picture of the boy on his phone. 3. Johnson repeatedly refuses to even look at the boy, let alone acknowledge responsibility for the situation, and eventually steals the journalists phone and puts it in his pocket. 4. There is uproar about Johnson's lack of compassion so Health Minister, Matt Hancock, is dispatched to the hospital to deal with the situation. 5. Matt Hancock briefs journalists that, while at the hospital, one of his advisors was "punched" by a Labour activist. 6. Much of the media unquestioningly report the "punch" by the "Labour activist" as fact without checking the validity of the allegation. Widespread rage about "violent Labour activists" spreads like wildfire online. 7. Video footage then emerges online showing that the story had been entirely fabricated and was 100% false. 8. The media sheepishly backtrack on what they have posted out to the world. 9. A Facebook post then appears claiming to be from a "good friend" of a nurse working in Leeds hospital. The post says that the photograph of the 4-year-old was faked by a "Labour activist". The post is shared more than 30,000 times. 10. The claim is unquestioning reported as fact by much of the media without checking its validity. 11. Suspicions of the validity of the claim are then raised as it is discovered there are literally thousands and thousands of Facebook and Twitter accounts posting exactly the same claim, word for word. 12. It becomes clear that bots are being used to spread disinformation. The hospital also confirms the accuracy of the photo and that it had already apologised to the mother. 13. The media sheepishly backtrack on what they have posted out to the world. 14. The account where the post originated then comes into question. It belongs to a (real) woman named Sheree Jenner-Hepburn who claims her account has "hacked". 15. Further investigation shows that Sheree Jenner-Hepburn was not the innocent victim of a hack, but that the post was made from her account intentionally, as she responded to her friend's comments on the post. 16. It's then discovered that Sheree Jenner-Hepburn's son has a Facebook friend with a very prominent role within this story which may cast light on the motives behind the fake post. 17. It's… Matt Hancock's account!!! In summary: it appears that the actual Health Minister of the British Government has not only fabricated a "punch" to deflect the heat from his boss, but, after being found out the first time, he *may* have used his friend's Facebook account to circulate another entirely fabricated story to try and smear his political opponents. Even the writers of The Thick Of It would find this story too incredible to script!

norwaysaint Posted 11 December, 2019 Share Posted 11 December, 2019 This election campaign has made it pretty clear that much of Labour's core support no longer feel that Labour represent them properly. So what's the future of Labour/opposition then? Most people would probably agree that their is a need for some kind of socialism in the UK, whether that's in the form of healthcare paid for by the taxpayer, affordable housing, basic rights for workers, decent schools and other services funded by taxation etc. Those things will be catered for to an extent by the Conservatives, but they aren't really in line with Conservative ideals, as they are a part of socialism. Given enough power over enough time they will be heavily affected/eroded. Not that Conservative ideals are wrong, many of them are very important to me, but a world with no socialism would be pretty bleak. Just wondering, with this election looking a clear Tory win, what future, credible opposition will be? Will there be a genuine overhaul, or just a reshuffling? Is "not Corbyn" really enough? Interested in perspectives from both sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wes Tender Posted 11 December, 2019 Share Posted 11 December, 2019 I’ll see your Ashworth and raise you a Major, a Heseltine and a Clark. Soggy fails to realise the difference between a current shadow minister slagging off his leader and three Tory dinosaurs, two of whom have been retired for some time and the third who should have retired some time ago. All three of them historically happy with EU vassal state membership of the EU. Ashworth on the other hand, says that Labour's muddled position on the EU has caused the party to lose support. You haven't thought this through very well, Soggy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjii Posted 11 December, 2019 Share Posted 11 December, 2019 Frankly, this election is dismal and boils down to a choice between what you think is the least damaging of: - the clueless approach to Brexit and utter skulduggery of the Tories OR - the economic naivety and myopic dogma of the current Labour party I take some solace from the fact that even if Johnson wins and gets the WA through, he might be forced into a rethink during the course of next year. I take further solace from the fact that the Corbyn government might not be able to implement policies particularly quickly and could get booted out in five years without causing too much irreversible harm. Maybe a hung parliament and further gridlock is best, which might even help embolden politicians to seek electoral reform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sadoldgit Posted 11 December, 2019 Share Posted 11 December, 2019 Poor old Boris. It looks like his “Get Brexit Done” pledge has been dealt a death blow by Michael Barnier who says that it is “unrealistic” that it will be sorted by 2021. Another false claim by the waffling, lying, clueless Tory leader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wes Tender Posted 11 December, 2019 Share Posted 11 December, 2019 Surely aspiring to live in Utopia is better than the last 9 years of enforced austerity? So this Utopia only exists in your head. Whilst it's in there, it can have free roaming unicorns and flights of pigs too, if your imagination is up to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badgerx16 Posted 11 December, 2019 Share Posted 11 December, 2019 Oh dear, Laura Kuenssberg once again proving herself unfit for her position... Did she learn nothing from what happened the other day? And Wes thinks the beeb is biased against the tories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
