This is certainly an eye opener.

Has anyone been following the story? Channel 4 News did an excellent exposé.

durhamjen Sun 25-Mar-18 20:04:29

Because there has been a week of evidence being shown on Channel4, in the Guardian and Observer.
Have you missed it?

Frankly Oakshot rattled reaction would only go to spur me on to dig further. She was extremely uncomfortable.

As someone tweeted

“Proper journalist meets brexremist propagandist”

Why shouldn't Oakshott ask ‘where’s the evidence’ ?
Marr was saying much the same thing really. I have a feeling that there may not be any evidence of real wrongdoing.
Unethical perhaps, but illegal?

But you don’t have to click on it I’m not that bothered tbh

I know durhamjen links to skwawkbox , kitsy Jones , the Canary , Jack of Kent etc, are all left wing sites but who is behind the site you keep putting links on Gransnet to :-
pbs.twimg.com?

I have asked you before but received no reply from yourself, as far as I am aware. I really am struggling to find out who you are asking GN'ers to take notice of and click onto their site.

"Where's your evidence? I thought we'd destroyed it all!"

Isabel Oakshott seems to be another great favourite of the BBC, always on the Daily Politics, Question Time and other political shows promoting hard line brexit. Although I have read Carol Cadwalladr's pieces in the Guardian, I have never seen her on TV before. Oakshott just kept saying "where's your evidence?" and was allowed to get away with that.

durhamjen Sun 25-Mar-18 19:18:05

I thought that as well, whitewave. I don't know why Marr allowed her to criticise Cadwalladr like that. I thought she was so condescending.

Interestingly that cartoon by Steve Bell is dated 2016. This suspicion has been rumbling for ages

Anyone watch Oakshot trying to shut Caldwalder down this morning on Marr? Oakshot was active part of the leave U.K.

whitewave Sun 25-Mar-18 13:37:08

Anna Soubry tweeted on vote leave etc

No one likes a cheat, so when they get caught out there should be consequences. As the truth emerges, abuse of social media, fake claims and false promises. The voter must be given the chance to hold them to account.

10 page document saying exactly what they did and that Leave.EU would have to pass over its own facebook data to get the full benefit.

This is a very long detailed article about data breaches.

“Somehow” blush

So how this had slipped sideways on my iPad, and I thought it said *Ambridge Analytica - a new Archers thread ?

durhamjen Sat 24-Mar-18 21:30:22

On the Last Leg last night it was suggested that instead of leaving Facebook, people doctor their profiles to mess up the data collected.
Anyone for it?

whitewave Sat 24-Mar-18 19:54:06

Channel 4 reckon that Vote Leave and BeLeave cooperated which was illegal.

maize well I think the graph is probably from what the SCL group produced, and it seems that the Canadian company was never disclosed for whatever reason.

Sorry I’ve only just seen your post

durhamjen Sat 24-Mar-18 19:33:01

And the man who was in charge of him is now May's right hand man.

whitewave Sat 24-Mar-18 18:35:20

Who said “follow the money” according to the whistleblower Vote Leave illegally overspent in th3 campaign.

This is something that has long been rumoured
