Funny how no one during the campaign mentioned this yet as soon as remain lost...”it’s all lies” it’s a bit late Hun, suck it up

I remember it being shown up as bullshit as soon as Boris wheeled it out.

  • Funny how many people deactivate due to attention seeking and then post on a forum saying how they have done so......basically attention seeking.   I find it decent for staying in contact with folk

  • Saw an interesting current affairs programme down here today about alarming links between Facebook, Google and the Clinton Foundation.   General gist was that FB and G are controlling what goes out,

  • They believed this bollocks...

Quite right Frank,  and in my opinion had no bearing whatsoever on the result, yet we still have lemon sucking remainers trotting this out as to one of the main the reason they lost.

It was, not that it matters now

And that's without looking

 

Sadly for the "leave" campaign that £350M will always be thrown back at them, but as Royal White says, is a bit late now

Was listening to the radio whilst driving earlier, what NiC says re Facebook is pretty much spot on. The location thing homes in on you all instantly.

 

Other than that, good to see the usual lot bleating re £350million a week whilst conveniently diverting away from the decent figures rolled out by the Tory party today in terms of employment,unemployment etc.

 

Oh....and Gary Lineker is a state sponsored cunt :D

All thick remainers no doubt.:)

I've never got the anger over it. All its saying really is 'you know that money we give to the EU? If we come out, we can put it into the NHS (or somewhere else) instead.

 

Now I know the amount is disputed and some went on to make statements/guarantee's whatever but the stuff on the bus? Nowt more than a suggestion to me

Thanks - one would hope so as I’m advising clients on digital spend. Mind you as Kent points out it’s morevtargeted than it ever has been BUT it’s not perfect, in large data sets like this though, the percentage of outliers can be higher and a campaign still be effective.

Funny how you're desperately trying to re-write history.

I wouldn’t like to see what pops up on LW’s page.....:D

Just watching sky news now re that bomber in Texas (not the DIY place).....they located him due to him turning on his phone...

 

Big Brother definitely watching us.

thats nothing new is it?  they've been able to trace phones for ever

Which is a good thing in this instance

 

I know some folk don't like the thought of "big brother" watching, but I suppose if you've nothing to hide, then it doesn't really matter

 

I was at a company the other day, and the Operations Director delighted in showing me where every single employee was at that moment in time, they all carry an ID thingy around their neck, and they were all tracked around the building. He also showed all the external staff, who have trackers in their building, as well as their phones. He said they can tell exactly how long people are at their desks for, how long they spend having a smoke, or their lunch, or taking a dump etc. It was pretty amazing. He said that everybody had fairly recently signed a new contract of employment, stating they were happy to be monitored in this sort of way.It's been "sold" to them that it's for security purposes, which it is, but I guess they'll ultimately be able to use it to sack people or manage them out of the business if required

Same in how social media works - to get access to these multimillion pound tools for free, you give up your personal details.

 

GDPR will help data control but if you sign the t&cs you know what you are getting.

 

Facebook etc al have to stop hiding behind we are a social sharing product. They are a data collection and aggregation business.

Not saying it’s new mate, just linking it to the current conversation on here.

If you read Malc W's posts in an Alan Bennet voice they suddenly take on a whole new dimension.

 

Try it.

I suppose the other option was the dole queue

since 9/11

it was the brexiteers leading the charge who pretty much admitted they were once the results were in

 

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/eu-referendum-result-nigel-farage-nhs-pledge-disowns-350-million-pounds-a7099906.html

 

and a bit later on

 

https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/boris-johnsons-brexit-claims-steamrollered-10304685

 

everyone else knew long before the vote was in

I think it's fair to say that plenty of folk believed what was written on the bus to be true - the "remain" side were just as much at fault for not disproving it, as much as the "leave" side were for stating it in the first place

 

 

.....and how much from the Remain side has been proved to be total bollocks? All water under the bridge. Stuff just being recycled by bitter Remoaners.

 

 

Nobody made a fuss when Obama used Facebook in his 2012 re-election campaign.

 

 

 

 

The key point! Well done Malc.

 

It was fine for the US lefties when it was helping their cause but now they've lost....................

If he didn’t have folk on ignore, he perhaps wouldn’t look like such a ninny at times.

  • 2 weeks later...

went on twitter for a lunch time mooch, I rarely click through to a thread of replies, and remembered why after doing it twice

 

one was a bloke getting the arse about  gonzo and a typo, the other was the first reply to sky's tweet about ray wilkins:

 

"Sad but an ex Red. Never had a good word to say about City."

 

twitter is a reminder that we live in world full of right twats
