Cambridge Analytica ...

[hoolahoop]

The words of Alexander Nix
February 10 2016 CEO of SCL.

" Recently, Cambridge Analytica has teamed up with Leave.EU – the UK’s largest group advocating for a British exit (or ‘Brexit’) from the European Union – to help them better understand and communicate with UK voters. We have already helped supercharge Leave.EU’s social media campaign by ensuring the right messages are getting to the right voters online, and the campaign’s Facebook page is growing in support to the tune of about 3,000 people per day.

All of which shows that whether you are trying to reach out to a voter, change hearts and minds about Britain’s EU membership, or move product, the more you know about your target audience, the better you will be able to engage, persuade and motivate them to act."

Are people ( Leavers or Remainers ) still comfortable about how Brexit was brought about because there isn't long to get this nonsense stopped ?

Whatever made you think whatever it is you are thinking ?

How can an intelligent person like you make light of such a serious interference with our democratic process ?

So why has the Information Commissioner still not been granted a warrant to search their offices?

Links to the Tory Party & Royal Family and run by Old Etonians, members of the House of Lords and ex-Army Officers, where there's a theory there's a conspiracy....

The story broken by Ch4 this evening will now see the Brexit thread on here merging with Cambridge Analytica and Question Time themes;

Might all be a storm in a teacup, but remember the election overspending scandal where funds were not properly declared as election expenses?

Pattern emerging here....can you see it yet?

[MachoMadness]

Definitely worth a watch that Albie. It's not that explosive, but only because shady dealings in the Leave campaign was already exposed through Arron Banks, and in the Panama papers.

I'm really confused by the Brexiteer mindset. You were lied to, there's proof you were manipulated, and there's a whistleblower testifying that your tax money was spent illegally to do so! You paid someone to lie to you, so you'd cast a vote to make yourself provably poorer. And yet you aren't angry at the people who manipulated, swindled and lied to you, you're angry at people who point out the lie. I just don't get it.

[BillyStubbsTears]

MM.

It takes a lot for a person to look in the mirror and accept that they have been duped. That’s why swindlers and propagandists can get away with fooling people. Because they rely on the fact that the person who has been fooled has a lot of emotional skin in the game. They want to carry on believing that a) they weren’t duped, they made up their own mind and b) the decision they came to was in their own best interests. 


Course, there are exceptions to the rule. We’ve got one in here who came to a decision about how to vote because of some thing the Remain side said. That something came to pass. And now he moans about having been duped. And steadfastly refuses to listen to any argument that demonstrates that he wasn’t duped. I’m guessing he’s over-compensating for fear of being thought to be one of the gullible ones.

BST, are you talking from personal experience? If so, has your experience of being duped in the past left you exempt from it happening again?

I refer my honorable colleagues to my earlier post. Those are the people you voted to run the country in the direction they see fit, this thread links into how they did it and these are the consequences for those who dont agree with and spoke out against it.

If only you knew how close to the bone that cuts mate...

[hoolahoop]

Leave . EU  attempted to cut all  ties between these 2 campaigns unfortunately the links have been kept and the Guardian have them running through now . Victoria Woodcock and Dominic Cummings attempted to delete themselves from the BeLeave campaign group which thet were channelling extra funds through directly to AIQ ( part of Cambridge Analytica ) and yes DUP funding was going through too.

What surprises me is why, when this expose first hit the headlines a year ago, it has taken so long to investigate it fully. The whole Referendum result is skewed because of this and boatloads of DUP money being spent in the English MSM  without having to reveal why and from where the money came from .

Sproty , it doesn't matter which side of the argument you support, this is not the way forward for our democracy to operate !

That's a disgrace . What the he'll have we got running the show , a Foreign Secretary that further  endangers the health and freedom of an innocent in Iran and a no.10 spokesman that deliberately " outs " a muslim knowing the full ramifications for this lad's health welfare and safety and those of his extended family ! 

If , when reading this , you're not indignant and deeply worried about what is happening to our country then perhaps you should think again. This story has already been suppressed for a year since the full exposé was in the Observer.

[BillyStubbsTears]

Suppressed with threats of legal action.
This from May last year.

I remember reading a big expose by her in the Observer last year but could never understand what was holding It all up - now I know and it's that link to no.10. This is NOT going to go away easily . Now we should insist on finding out where all that " supposed " DUP money came from last year to bankroll shedloads of pro- Brexit material in the English ( not Irish incidentally ) press. No wonder the rules about where the money comes from are kept secret - this should change now. This country is rotten to the core democratically at present .

[hoolahoop]

Dont worry everyone according to Jo Coburn on the Daily Politics 3 minutes ago " is all this just remainer sour grapes " - I f**king give in with the BBC seeing as though this all came from a committed Leaver. BBC " spinning it  " right now.

Interesting referenced article in the Canary, pointing out the tentacles of influence beyond the obvious;

Looks like the whole shebang is well out of hand.
At what point do you qualify as a "rogue state" I wonder!

Oh well, Facecrook is now on the case, so it is probably sorted!

Yes and today the BBC ran a mile from properly digging into this story, its one I believe people are frightened to get involved in .

[idler]

Hoola, the truth ought to be the minimum requirement, not something to be scared of.
Surely in most cases the truth eventually comes out.

You would hope so buddy but it does seem in short supply at the moment and sacrificed for people's and Party ambitions .

None of these people give a shite for the truth.....This has to be the worst Govt of my lifetime and I'm not even sure that we have a credible opposition at the moment.

[wilts rover]

Unfortunately though Idler sometimes, like Hillsborough, it's many years after the event.

Intelligent people should learn from past mistakes though Wilts.

Hoola.

This is the set of lies from The Sun that Rees-Mogg tweeted about.

https://mobile.twitter.com/Jacob_Rees_Mogg/status/968534387057942529

Every single one of those numbers is wrong. EVERY SINGLE ONE.

On many of those items, we pay no tariffs. On the ones that we do, the figures are wildly over-inflated.

Even The Sun has the good grace to take that story down when it was pointed out to them how wrong it was. As of 21:30 tonight, and despite hundreds of messages asking him to remove it over the past month, it’s still on Rees-Mogg’s Twitter feed

BB. THAT is what political lying looks like.

PS. This was The Sun’s apology.

https://mobile.twitter.com/soechristian/status/978165674404171777/photo/1

Rees-Mogg obviously thinks it doesn’t matter if he propagates untruths and doesn’t set the record straight when the untruths are shown to be untruths.

Not all politicians are like that, but when a Kitson like him becomes so prominent, I can well understand why people think they ARE all like him.

What worries me the most is how , after all that has happened to our people locally, people from this area could EVER put their trust in this lot again. The Mail, Sun and Express on/offline , slap summat in a headline and folk round here never learn the lesson not to trust A)These fooking rags and B) The Tory Party.

However if it's summat against the EU , however stupid, however exaggerated it is , however much of a lie  - it turns out to be gospel truth .
Truth is we have the dishonest and lacklustre politicians of ALL Parties that we deserve.
First thing to do with our politics is to ensure that the same people don't serve terms in excess of 12 years and even that's perhaps too long and abolish the FPTP  political system , it perpetuates the former and harms  real equality of representation of the masses. Quite simply this is not working .

[BillyStubbsTears]

Hoola.

You can tell that the Brexiteers are getting twitchy about the whole CA thing.

This t**t has rejoined the fray. The one who told us that the British public had had enough of listening to experts is now telling us that we’ve got to listen to the decision of the very people he and his long-term mate Cummings misled.

   It will take 5 years to know who was lied to, (to say it was all one sided is stupid ) then and only about then will we know for sure whether the vote to leave  was the right one or not.
   Everything until then is guesswork or wishful thinking, at my age I may not be around then, but either way I am sure some on here will be happy for everyone to be in the poor house, just so they were proved right.
