Media manipulation.

What the press are calling sock puppets are being put out by CCHQ.

Yesterday hundreds of exactly the same message but all supposedly by different people put out the message that the Jack’s experience was staged.

Totally untrue and lies.

We need to get a grip of this or everything becomes an absolute mockery.

Bad day for BJ yesterday, plenty more aggro to come, when/if he wins the election there is a great deal of uncertainty to come. Getting an emotional Brexit done is one thing, the reality of negotiating new trade deals is quite another.

This is what media manipulation looks like. None of the stories are remotely true.

I second that thought crystaltipps. None of them are fit to be in charge. And that’s what I think politics is lacking, someone who at least appears to have an ounce of integrity.

crystaltipps Tue 10-Dec-19 05:28:13

Let’s just say it - Johnson, Corbyn. Swinson are all unfit to be Prime Minister. The best thing would be if they all lost their seats.

Apparently, the boy did have a bed in the treatment cubicle, but it was needed for another patient. The bed was taken away and the boy was left with his mother in the cubicle with two chairs. the boy was tired and wanted sleep/lie down, so the mother put some coats on the floor and made a makeshift bed.

The hospital has issued an apology.

I think the posters who claimed the photo was a fake need to issue an apology too.

Grannyhall that is simply NOT true. I agree you need to apologise for that slander.

What on earth is the world coming to when old ladies spread fake news. I’m shocked ???

SirChenjin Mon 09-Dec-19 22:28:34

Where has that been announced Granny?

I wonder if it was the same place which showed that the Tories lied about Matt Hancock’s advisor being hit in the face by a Labour activist to detract from BJs reaction to the photo? Probably not.

Perhaps you can explain then why Leeds Hospital have apologised Grannyhall29

Why is that anyone who criticises the scumbag Johnson is assumed to be a Corbyn supporter? No thanks to either of them.

Lovetopaint037 Mon 09-Dec-19 19:22:22

Boris Johnson as PM has a dystopian ring to it. He will go down in history as the worse PM in our history to date. The worse thing about it is the British people asked for it. Tolstoy said in War and Peace that war is never caused by one single thing; it is always a combination of facts and situations. In this situation there are again various factors eg. Jeremy Corbyn’s refusal to resign despite so many refusing to vote for him, the Lib/Dems selecting an inappropriate leader, the media (Daily Mail eg al) determined to support the lies told in the run up to the referendum, fear of immigration, a dissatisfaction with the government and a desire to hit back etc etc. Hesletine said it all in a magnificent speech a couple of days ago when his emotion and sorrow was so apparent when he said he could not vote Conservative after devoting his long political life to it.

Opal I am insulted to be told I am supporting a party that supports Labour.
You really are talking rubbish and being insulting too.

pinkquartz Mon 09-Dec-19 18:42:18

Opal

I AM NOT a Labour supporter.

Where do you stand on free bus passes ?

Opal Mon 09-Dec-19 18:01:05

pinkquartz I don't have a clue why you support a party that supports terrorists, you are a Corbynite therefore you don't care about the ordinary working class people in this country. You would vote for a Government that would screw the economy, and then no-one would prosper. No thank you....

pinkquartz Mon 09-Dec-19 18:00:13

Opal
it is a joke about the Uncaring Tory party in case that flew over your head.
Tory voters so up themselves it is incredible.! angry

pinkquartz Mon 09-Dec-19 17:58:23

Opal

I gave the statistic as a JOKE
idiot

but you did not understand. your fault

pinkquartz Mon 09-Dec-19 17:56:44

Opal

why do you think i Support Labour?

You talk out of your backside not me.

You are a Tory therefore you do not care the less fortunate.
Your Govt, has us screwed down tight. NO thanking you

SirChenjin Mon 09-Dec-19 17:55:41

We have a third option up here and for the first time ever it’s beginning to look quite attractive - I can’t quite believe I’m saying that. It would be ironic (and very sad) if the party of the union were to be the cause of its breakup but I can see that happening if BJ and the extreme right wingers are allowed to continue unchecked.

pinkquartz Mon 09-Dec-19 17:52:27

The celeb list is nauseating. who cares what a celeb votes.

people should learn to think, not follow

MaizieD Mon 09-Dec-19 17:50:32

Neither Corbyn nor the Labour party is funded by Hamas or the IRA.

Johnson and the tory party are funded by the Russians

pinkquartz Mon 09-Dec-19 17:49:23

I don't want either Corbyn or Johnson, rock and a hard place.

MaizieD Mon 09-Dec-19 17:48:48

Johnson was such a security risk that Teresa May wouldn't give him top level clearance when he was Foreign Secretary, FGS.

Opal Mon 09-Dec-19 17:44:39

jura2 Johnson was a serious security risk as Mayor of London- he is a massive and very serious security risk now.

If ever there was a security risk, it's Corbyn, supporter of Hamas, supporter of the IRA, etc. etc.
