After a campaign of fear when they wanted us to stay in, they now want us back o work and school so sad I predicted, the good news stories and it’s safe stories are becoming prevalent. I was told ‘they don’t print good news stories’. There are many ways to brainwash convince the public get to do what you want

Would love to be a paid poster.

Send a 12 foot shape shifting lizard round with instructions and I'll post on whatever you want.

Please don't send any electronic communications though. Remember 5G. THEY are watching.

Yes, a good way to spot a ‘paid poster’ is if their opinion doesn’t tally with yours. If it’s different they’re obviously being paid by some very organised yet shadowy group who believes Mumsnet drives general public opinion Grin

I got accused of being a ‘paid poster to the other day Grin

I work in digital marketing.

On board as influential as Mumsnet?

You bet there will be bots/paid posters...

Are paid posters the same people who do chemtrails and wind up the birds?

We should be told.

I feel like I’m missing a massive trick here. I disagree with the OP, I think our children need to go back to school and NOONE IS PAYING ME! I could cry at all the lost income.

FWIW I don't think anyone would use bots to change opinion on schools. Seems a bit like cracking a nut with a sledgehammer. But trying to silence the conversation about Cummings? Absolutely.

Why are the hypocrites in the press allowed to break every social distancing rule in the book outside Dominic Cummings house ?

Jowl to cheek they jostle to take photos of a man who did not actually go into his parents home .,


Two wrongs don’t make a right .

There's a crowd of protestors outside Cummings house and they aren't social distancing either.

Just saying.

I'll say anything you want if you £££££ me. I'll even wind up the birds.

This comment does suggest you think she is a paid poster.

@SuckingDieselFella Well, apologies, didn't mean it that way. Meant it in the spirit of "well, if you choose not to believe such a thing occurs, well that's up to you".

No idea about paid posters on Mumsnet, but it’s not that crazy.

I’m on Twitter, which I know is a cesspit, but the last couple of days some things have occurred which strongly suggest the platform is being manipulated.

The hashtags “DominicCummings” “Dominic” and “Cummings” never made it to trending status. Misspelt versions of all those hashtags did make it onto the list. There is no way this was not deliberate, and the suggestions made that the surname was the cause do not hold up as the hashtag without it was absent too.

And for the first time ever on my timeline, three of those defensive statements by senior government figures appeared high on my timeline. That despite the fact I follow none of them, only one or two people in my network has liked them, and I follow very few political people in general.

If they are manipulating Twitter, and Cummings himself instigated an illegal Facebook campaign attached to “Leave” then I think we have to assume other influential platforms will also be targeted.

You can see all the paid posters on here too, pushing the same line.

Whatever.

Strangely enough, people who work in the construction industry know that using JCBs is a viable option if you have the resources. Funny that.

Yes - there are lots of vocal Labour supporters on mn but for some reasons it’s only conservatives on here who are accused of being paid bots.
If the Tory party pays bots then why shouldn’t Labour.
