indeed.

Just goes to show how stupid people can be influenced by social media.

No! No Tea Thank You!

Perusing the reader comments in the Daily Mail Online, I am constantly reminded by the posters about this `silent majority `. Is this the same silent majority that has never ended complaining about BLM, extinction rebellion, Jeremy Corbyn, Meghan markle, Judges, remainers, face masks, the BBC, refugees, Gary Lineker, Statues and liberals?
This silent majority that has been voicing its opinion non-stop, loudly for decades.
One poster requested that the Daily Mail Newspaper print the names and adresses of all English Traitors in a Saturday Supplement.

2 Oct 1766 the Nottingham Great Cheese Riot began. Angry at the excessive price of cheese, a mob formed who seized it and began wheeling or carrying the cheeses away, bowling over the mayor with a cheese. The army put down rioting 2 days late.

I dont know how Morrisons get away with it.

Im not judging people, I am observing them, its in my nature. I was in a Supermarket today and noticed that quite a few people had mutton chop sideburns and associated beards / moustaches. These were people who were in their 20`s.
I couldnt help but wonder if they were American Civil War reenactment people or if they really do eat beans out of the tin.

I often wonder just how ugly men with beards really are underneath.
If they really are that minging, why don't they just wear a yashmak? It doesn't get food stuck in it and can double as a covid mask.

Beards sort of go with the Cowboy look where they had those pants with the buttoned square flap on the bottom where they can go to the toilet at the side of the road without lowering their strides.

Its all the hipsters, i live near Levenshulme in Manchester and the area has been taken over by them.

Heard 2 good conspiracy theories regarding Trump strategy if he loses the election.

1. Electoral College fix. In the States, people vote and each state nominates "electors" to then go and cast their states' votes for the winning candidate. Only it's not actually written in the Constitution that the electors have to cast the vote for the winning candidate - it's just "assumed" and to date they always have. However, in the light of Trump questioning postal voting etc there is a possible scenario where Republican controlled states could say that they don't believe the result reflects the true voting intentions of their citizens and refuse to cast their votes for Biden until it's sorted out. This would lead into months if not years of litigation with Trump remaining in power throughout.
2. Historically the Republicans have had a higher turnout at polling stations whereas the Democrats are more dependent on postal votes. In the States postal votes aren't counted until the day after so on the actual night of the election there is likely to be a scenario where Trump appears to be winning - at which point the Republicans claim victory and try to shut the whole thing down.
We'll see.

Coronavirus: How my mum became a conspiracy theory influencer

Coronavirus: How my mum became a conspiracy theory influencer
Close
Sebastian’s mum has become one of the leaders of Britain’s conspiracy community, collecting tens of thousands of followers with false claims – including denying coronavirus exists, blaming the symptoms of Covid-19 on 5G radio waves and likening the NHS to Nazi Germany.

Sebastian is worried about his mum’s impact on public health and reasoned debate. And, closer to home, their relationship has broken down.

He spoke exclusively to the BBC’s specialist disinformation reporter Marianna Spring.
