In a similar vein if you wrote down what Trump and Boris said it would appear like rambling nonsense.
This girl is brilliant. She shows perfectly how people (stupid people) judge Trump by his body language rather than the words that are actually coming out of his mouth. If his body language matched the words I would think even the dumbest of people could see what a moron he is.
If this is true...
Honestly, drop it.
The more people kid themselves it was the Russian robots making Brexit, the more your chances of changing people's mind in the future diminishes.
Looking at the tracing system that goes live tomorrow I'm very very disappointed.
Most people will be missed out as all that is happening is when someone tests positive they will be asked for everyone they have come into contact with and these people will be called by a tracer.
This means all the people that the person as come into contact with that they don't know i.e. in a supermarket or on a bus will not be contacted and asked to isolate.
Hardly world beating as promised

Who won the popular vote in the states?
Has this been verified by anyone nearer the government?
Laughable deflection.
Good way to point out how close it was though and how a few tens of thousands of votes changed the outcome.

Indeed, sounds incredibly poor in its current form.

It was, but how do you account for many voters who went for Obama twice but then switched? Clinton's unpopularity was the biggest factor I'd say.
Clinton is a deeply sinister individual, the choice the poor Americans had in 2016 must have been the worst of all time.

Clinton was an awful candidate and certainly the largest factor. But there’s no point people burying their head in the sand that social media might have been an influence because it’s awkward and uncomfortable to accept that.
Anyway, it wasn’t really the main point in my original post and not what I wanted to focus on.

Hopefully, that's a good pointThe only thing I would say about this is from what I hear from the Missus (and again Warwick hospital so small sample size) is that the cases coming in do not appear to be as severe as previously so maybe the "high viral loads" are decreasing as less people are needing to be admitted to ICU and are being dealt with on the COVID wards instead.
The first one, because the notion of horse-sized ducks is ridiculousWould you rather fight ten duck-sized horses or one horse-sized duck?
I'm sorry but it's just another clutching st straws way of refusing to acknowledge the vote.
Even if there was some truth in it, dirty tactics were played by both sides and that was the bigger issue for me.
It's also largely irrelevant to the pandemic and really just an opportunity to have a bash which this thread has seen quite a lot of.
The use of social media disinformation is widely understood and researched. I won’t drop it because it makes people uncomfortable. In no way was I stating it was the instrumental factor but it certainly may have had an affect.

. How did this end up being talked about?
Zuckenburg has acknowledged this and they are working to prevent it before this years US election.
They've had problems with algorithms they've been using though blocking legitimate sites including those of small businesses.
Exactly. The Russian Internet Research Agency was literally creating communities and groups on Facebook and organising physical demonstrations of those communities in the US. To say it had no effect or call it a conspiracy is laughable.
A glance at Twitter U.K. political discourse and it’s easy to spot bots still. In a US a study released by MIT had found that 50% of twitter accounts calling for the lockdown to end were bots.
As I said, not really where I was going with my original point, and I’d rather focus on the current issues, but seems to have been picked up on.

Exactly. I'm sure our own Russia report will throw up some interesting stuff if it ever gets published.
This isn't about overturning results this is about minimising influence in the future.
Though when they refuse to publish the report and when Cummings refuses to appear before the select comittee you have to question why?
Social media is here to stay. We have to minimise how it can be used nefariously.

It’s just another excuse to hang your hat on
Russia have always made grandiose claims about an ability to control of influence people - Well before social media - they are a faded power and its the only way they can pretend they have influence
If you keep that bunker mind set you’ll never win anything
Even if it’s not Russia, you can’t deny that there are an abundance of active bot accounts out there.It’s just another excuse to hang your hat on

Well that's not good.

Summed odd the other day when they said the R was 0.7 - 1 but were planning to open schools and shops. I’m sure previously, when setting out the road map of steps, the R was the same and they said we can’t do anything yet as we’re too close to 1? (Which also seems obvious).
