tell us why you feel that you can't discuss things fully honestly and openly and why you worry that the cia may be watching you
BadKitten - Oh dear, that comprehension problem again, eh? I am pleased that CIA may be watching MN and social media. Isnt that how they catch gunpowder plots and all?
'You say consistency, other people say broken record. '
That is the first time I have heard that - I have heard "on the money", "bang on the money" and "we're in the money" but never "broken record" apart from when it came to Crooked Hillary and Blair's speeches.
'And I'm starting to feel like one, but it's really annoying not getting decent answers to straightforward questions.'
Now you know what decent journalists felt like when interviewing the 172's candidate, Owen Smith, when the former Pfizer PR man stood against Labour Party member favourite and nemesis of the 172, Jeremy Corbyn.
You know that Trump pulls when he doesn't want you paying attention to something serious? He tweets some statement so utterly ridiculous, that everyone jumps on, because it is really hard not to engage with that level of idiocy. Then after a few days of back and forth and retweets and Trump contradicting himself, the serious issue has been almost buried. Well it looks like some of his supporters are emulating their great leader.
I'm not saying we shouldn't challenge a bullshit statement, but we should be wary of being dragged into a wormhole of fuckwittery that leaves the serious, relevant issues undiscussed. That's what they want. I know it's tricky to strike the right balance though between challenging stupidity and getting completely diverted by it.
Owen Smith even had the brass neck to say that "Jeremy is not the only socialist in the Labour Party, you know?"
I am hesistant to call any member of the "political class" a bold-faced liar without hard prrof so I immediately fact-checked that statement out on the Daily Mail's website and the leading Labour party candidates who stood against Jeremy in the previous electoral race either were all from Oxbridge, all had two PPEs each, or were shamelessly proud Blairites. Not a scintilla of socialist credentials could I find among the sea of spin.
