Far more. Look at what we’re converting on.

I find it shocking that people don’t know how we are serving promoted post to people, how we mine data, how we segment and ultimately how we sell.

Can you change that into a rudimentary sea shanty / Enid Blyton pirate tale so that Moonman can relate to it? There’s no chance otherwise.

Wrong. 

There’s way more Facebook users 35+ than there is 18-35. 

And that gap is widening. 

That's only because we want to perv at the women we went to school with who we used to fancy

Yes.

Parliament should have no mandate whatsoever to stop us from leaving next month. The referendum was for the public to decide - and we have done.

It's not our fault a Remain Parliament is keeping us in against our wishes. They've thwarted us as every turn and it will go on forever.

Let's be honest, they don't want to stop No Deal, they just want to stop Brexit.

Johnson will advise the Queen of this and she'll refuse Royal consent of that treacherous, made up Bill.

Either that or Johnson just refuses to ask for an extension. Either way, we're out next month. 🎉

 

 

 

So if the queen says 'fuck knows it's got nothing to do with me, you're only asking me out of some stupid tradition' is she complicit?

England's more divided now than NI was in the troubles.

You wouldn't have been targeted by the analytics company (CA). They spent years and millions of £ (paying Facebook) for data profiles of those who were deemed undecided,  and targeted them with (mis)information. CA is a propaganda machine, with multi million £ backing from right wing founders. They cheated

Isn't that Bolty? - who thinks that Boris has "something of Churchill" about him..............although he did think that TM was the next Margaret Thatcher as well.

 

although, maybe Johnson can still turn it around, so that he doesn't have the possibility of looking like the worst PM ever......he might be struggling a bit though 

Twas I, yes. He's fucking ace. A strong leader with drive. The electorate will reflect that when they get chance.

Having said all that, I would much rather Sir Nigel was leading the charge.

Can't mention her matey. Apparently a sexist racist according to the Royal Mint.

Privacy issues, rather than programming folk to vote for Brexit,  tin foil hat territory at its finest.

I don’t know and I don’t really care, folk who think that this had any influence on the result really need to move on and get a life.

Combatting government bullshit?

Christ, can't speak for folk who use social media platforms, but do folk really take much notice of stuff that comes up?

People on here don't bother with the BN because of the adverts.

Junk mail through the post gets wazzed.

If it did have a useful impact, then well done them. More effective than the screeching wall paper man.

I'm sure it can't really be proved either one way or another if it had any influence, and the time to complain about that had passed now anyway. To completely dismiss it though and suggest that people can't be influenced by things in social media is a bit daft though I reckon.

For years and years The Sun and The Daily Mail have been (and still are) influencing the public and telling them which way to vote, this is just the next step up from that.

It didn't affect or target those who were clearly supporting leave or remain as it wouldn't make a difference.

It was used to push those undecided to the side of leave.

If advertising didn't work companies wouldn't spend billions every year on it.

Perhaps if remain had been as clever/devious (depending on your stance) the results may have been different. We will never know.

Still doesn't change the fact that in the 3yrs since we've now even less of a clue what's happening.
