Robert peston tweeted the first picture asking whether he should ask Theresa May this and what the answer might be.

The second picture was the tweet directly below in my twitter feed

Bannon declares “season of war” on GOP establishment. This link is from The Hill, but Breitbart carried the same headline, making its commenters froth. Another Breitbart headline on the same subject is “‘Sebastian Gorka: Steve Bannon Like Obi-Wan Kenobi — ‘If You Strike Me Down Now, I Will Be More Powerful’“. Sad thing is I think some people read BB as their primary, and only, news source and believe without question what they read. Sad

Another spoof (this time about NRA) from the Dutch comedian who made the "America First" video.

To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee taken off Mississippi school reading list

Official: ‘some language in the book makes people uncomfortable’

Story of racism in the US south has been removed from schools before

Fekko · 15/10/2017 10:05

I was just reading that. I would assume it was used as a door opener for discussion on racism, racist laws, history, reuse of language... interesting that it was a long time after ww2 that kids in Germany were actually taught about it.

Can't just pretend it didn't happen. Poor little diddums' not liking it? Tough.

OnTheDarkSideOfTheSpoon · 15/10/2017 10:32

I don't think I've posted any of Mike Farb's stuff on here before but it's becoming increasingly compelling and verifiable. He's been analysing voting data since the elections and has come up with some really disturbing outliers, which as far as I can make out, are statistically sound (I did not retain any of the statistics I did at university so this assertion is based on what other statisticians are saying on Twitter but as we all know, it could be bots etc) and definitely raise questions about voting tallies being changed.

I'm now even more convinced he's onto something because he posted a new thread about Winsconsin yesterday and promptly after that, Wisconsin Election Commission deleted it's PDF summary of results that was previously available on it's website.

He's also recently disclosed that he has been liasing with a couple of members of Congress and they are revieiwing this information.

There is a lot of information so I'll leave links to his threads. I'd say they are all really worth a read.

This is also intriguing about voting machines. There's even more information here and I haven't trawled through it properly but it's sourced to the hilt.

Mockingbird gets banned quite regularly, more recently at the behest of some African-American activists and educators who dislike the language and the ideology. (Exposing kids the n-word and to the liberal saviour, Atticus).

Blimey! Picking my way through those Mike Farb posts over the weekend.

He does say he'll contact Wisconsin to find out what happened. So if there is a non-dodgy explanation, the Elections Commission should be able to provide it.

The educated, knowledgeable response from Macron versus nonsensical word salad from Trump is pretty stark reading.

I don't think you necessarily need an intellectual to lead a country but it's always good for them to have a basic grasp on history, world events and the like. I love the fact that Emmanuel (yes, I have a slight crush & think he's immensely dishy) was immediately able to respond with specific reference to the work of the philosopher - yes, he'd obviously studied him but years before and for that knowledge to just roll of his tongue was pretty impressive.

lionheart · 15/10/2017 15:11

Isn't philosophy taught as part of the primary provision in France?

These ads in London’s tube network for Putin’s propaganda outlet are infuriating. They’re gloating about cyberattacks on American democracy.
