Good example of how it can be altered with spin to say anything. We're in Post Truth Politics era. Terrifying. Everyone has read 1984, yeah?  G

Can you give us the headline fozzy? For those of us who are twitter challenged?! Thanks! Did you see the outrage from Trumplington about political advertising being banned on Twotter? I think it should be strictly regulated or banned on FB and all other social media too. Or a great big banner saying "This is a PAID FOR Advert for the Blah Party, it's not truth." G

Here you go Happy: From: Dmitry Grozoubinski @DmitryOpines Oct 30 The media is very good at demanding progressives explain in detail how they'd fund their election promises. It needs to become equally good at demanding conservatives explain in detail the regulations they'll cut in promising to "kick-start the innovation economy." There's a media narrative that government funds are finite and impossible to sensibly generate, but there's a mountain of unspecified regulation holding business back that can be slashed with no side effects or trade-offs. Every election in every western democracy it's the same story. Conservatives promise to generate funds by "slashing waste" and growth by "eliminating job killing regulations." Then they get into power, double the deficit and cut environmental regulations people actually like. |

TommyK, that is an urban myth about being told the only way to remain in the EU was to remain in the UK. The fact remains though that Scotland are still in the EU but would not have been if we were independent |

Oven-ready deal going in the microwave makes me think of being really hungry and not having the patience to oven-cook lasagne for one, and ending up with microwaved mushy slop that's not cooked properly in the middle. The analogy seems strangely apt.
