PaddockLad 17281 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 It's precisely how it's played out. I'm think I'm a natural contrarian by nature, l was fucked if I was going to let Tony Blair get my vote because he had a red rosette on, regardless of my leftish leanings. He was the original "red Tory", it was fuckin blatant. A lot of my mates voted for him though, and a lot of them voted for Brexit. Complelty and utterly manipulated by propaganda. Language has been the first casualty of this "war" . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted February 14, 2017 Author Share Posted February 14, 2017 How politicians and their surrogates keep a straight face as they flip flop on leaks depending on whether the leak harms them or the opposition is as entertaining as it is despicable. 2016 - "Well done assange, let's lock up Clinton" 2017 - "Now come on, General Flynn deserves some privacy, lock up the leaker" Not limited to Republican obviously, Obama ran on a platform of transparency and whistleblower protection before his DOJ pressed more whistleblower prosecutions of any presidency. The proposed change in UK law to criminalise whistleblowers and group them with spies for prosecution is potentially worse than anything done in the US though.

Howay 12496 Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Honestly no idea how the bloke still gets time on TV. He's the same as that Kate Hopkins trainwreck, just comes out with ridiculous shite and people scream at them. I saw someone trying to use Jim Jeffries telling him to fuck off as proof of why the left is losing because they're not debating the points people are making, but honestly that was all the discussion the point Morgan was making deserved as he was being completely fucking ridiculous. I try my best to completely avoid any news about him and don't get riled up when I see it as honestly he's just trying to be contrary and frustrating to people to get air time. He reminds me of Jamm from Parks and rec when he says he doesn't like Morgan Freeman's voice as he finds it grating , it wouldn't shock me to see Piers Morgan tweet something like that if Freeman made a political point at some event and there'd be a massive reaction to it no doubt.

ewerk 30620 Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 It wasn't Jeffries telling him to fuck off that was the best bit. He nailed Morgan with the 'you're just happy that you won The Apprentice and now you have a famous friend' line. Because that's basically it.

The Flynn thing is a proper deep state move. Taking out a trusted lieutenant big time! Must be weird being the president and knowing the whole state security apparatus is against you....

Rayvin 5223 Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Yeah ok, these people are vapid morons following a parroted media narrative that confirms their biases and which they refuse to challenge, but this is from infowars who aren't exactly paragons of common sense and proportionate reactions... people are stupid on both sides of this. God, the world has been hijacked by fuckwits. And worse, they've hijacked it from corrupt, self-interested arseholes. Where are the people with any sense of reason? Do they all just stay away from politics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's always struck me as someone who likes hanging out with the powerful. I remember the extracts from his diaries in the press; "I told Tony and Cherie." etc etc what the fuck was he doing socialising with the prime minister? Then he appears on Trumps tv show (again, he's a journalist, what the fuck is he playing at here?) and now he's attacking the reaction to Trumps election win, appearing as an apologist for the man who, by all appearances, got into bed with the Putin regime in order to win.

Spot on, I remember seeing bits of that column and he was constantly name dropping. The weirdest parts I remember were he'd even include bits where people were effectively calling him a dickhead to his face, he was generally excited that these people knew who he was rather than taking any offence to the fact they thought he was an arsehole. Very odd bloke. I've no idea how he has even managed to get himself on television in the USA, he even had a program at one point and despite that being a massive failure he still gets on plenty of stuff.
