10 years since Jo Cox was murdered.

I remember it so well. I was working in Whitehall at the time. Everyone was stunned.

A SMR report has found that anti-Burnham fake news on Makerfield Facebook accounts has surged.

Nearly 1 in 6 pieces of news shared in local Facebook groups during the campaign is false, with misinformation heavily targeting Labour and its candidate Andy Burnham, a new study has found.

It is looking very tight in Makerfield.

I expect we will have visitors on Friday regardless of who wins.

I'd accept the Government banning social media for over 60s.
I waste far too much time on MN 😁.

It's a win win situation for them.

I think they will have enough other threads to post on.

Are there any threads on the Russian attack on Starmer going?

Yes there's a short one in AIBU - not really going the OPs way so has disappeared

Yes, at least one pushing the expected narrative. But not getting much joy, thankfully!

Yes to the final question with links to the Guardian, BBC and FT - share. Aibu.

Snap!

I wouldn’t. I’d have to do some housework.

I found the threads, thanks.

Something to do whilst waiting for a delivery.

Yes, social media for the over 16s should be looked at!

Why cant we classify social media platforms as publishers and make them responsible for what they publish?

There are several about the Russian involvement and how you can't trust anything the BBC says. Lots of w3w usernames in them.

Meanwhile, I asked AI to summarise Farages recent output.

Here's what it came up with :

Incidentally, I see USENET didn't make it onto the governments idea of social media.

Says a lot, really.

Just when you think they can’t sink any lower 🤮

Jimmy Saville abused many children but in his defence he was white! And therefore not that bad really....

I think the subtext is that Reform are angry that people are coming over here and taking jobs away from decent British paedophiles, abusers and criminals.

A proper British paedophile with proper British paedophile values 🤮

We should be putting statues of these heroes up everywhere. After all, Farage has five million to splash around.

Five million - one per MP in 2024

And today, Badenoch chooses to refer Philipson as a Gestapo officer

https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2026/jun/16/developers-greedy-leasehold-scandal-campaign-women

Particularly noted this from the article:

"These are all big changes, being furiously resisted by freeholders who have already begun launching legal challenges, arguing that caps on ground rent risks devaluing their assets and making some of them insolvent. They also argued that abolishing marriage value breached their rights to the “peaceful enjoyment of property” under the European convention on human rights, though the case was dismissed by the high court."

As someone who was never able to find the "rateable" value of our property to be able to create my own market offer for our lease, this rings so true.

The Gestapo played a key part in the Holocaust.

They operated outside of the law and were able to detain Jewish/disabled/Roma at will and send them to concentration camps.

Crimes against humanity.

Exactly the same as charging VAT.

Bloody hell, Badenoch must be a bit desperate for attention.
Telemail/KGB new will lap it up though.
Any excuse to get the Gestapo uniforms out.
