It is all to do with him... being a racist, sexist, misogynist, fraud who sold the management of the US to Russia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trump is not the best tactician in the world and comes out with some crazy stuff on the hoof, but he is not a fool. He is well aware of the forces ranged against him. Also what is coming out with the Cambridge Analytica leaks is that he has some powerful and wealthy forces amassing behind him too, which represent conservative America who are fighting back against the relentless onslaught against it. They clearly have peers in the UK too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it the fact a company has utilised data to influence voters or the fact said company has used the data to back the horse you didn't like? If this company had used the same methods to help Clinton and the Remain campaign's would it be as much of an issue.

P.K. Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 On 20/03/2018 at 6:55 PM, the stinking enigma said: From the den of communist iniquity that is the daily mail. 2016 Welcome aboard! I have to say I'm finding it harder and harder to dream up the right kind of original left wing denigration of that most trusted of organisations, the BBC, in order to take the piss out of all of those whose prejudices are so entrenched they dismiss BBC news content due to "a deliberate left-wing bias", or some such nonsense. So I hope you won't mind if I plagiarise your efforts from time to time. Thanking you in advance. Yours etc PK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it should be an issue if any group, right or left, using such a mechanism to affect the out comes of public votes and should be dealt with harshly. Sorry, if that didn't fit your expected response. Quote Is it the fact a company has utilised data to influence voters... No, it is the fact that Parliamentary parties may have used said companies to influence voters. Why aren't you pissed? Is it because the outcome favoured the horse you liked?

Putin's Russia is about undermining European unity - it wants to deal with nations on its borders which argue with each other. Not with Nato or the EU. Even the UN is seen as globalist from a Putin faction perspective. yet no evidence has been found...... apart from less than a quid...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much as I think it might be unsavoury it's only a shade of grey away from what you see when you turn on the TV or pick up a newspaper. Maybe Cambridge Analytica was created in response to the rising tide of anti-conservative sentiment which has swept across the western world in the past few decades. In which case it should be expected and welcomed in a democracy, to have competing ideologies instead of one riding roughshod over everything else.
