Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Thank God for a free press !
Good to see that the fingerpointing hate comics have got properly stuck in to Labour this morning.
I don't know about you, but I'm always happy to take a political steer from phone hacking, tit perving, Hillsborough-lie mongering, Leveson fearing, non-doms .I'm pretty sure they've got my best interests at heart. #Murdoch's muppets !

Oh no! Corbyn has connections with socialism, well blow me down, who'd have thought it, I wish someone had told be that socialism was unpalatable before I spent my life as a socialist.
There has never ever been a dispute or a war that at sometime has ended and people have eventually had to talk. If you try to bring peace sometimes you have to talk to people you do not agree with.
...and the Ghandi Peace Prize winner of 2013 talked with Sinn Fein, that democratic political party; or do you mean the IRA.
While he talked openly the Tories talked in secret;-
1972 the Tory government (Heath) conducted secret negotiations with the IRA.
1981 Margaret Thatcher negotiated with the IRA during the hunger strikes, the documents detailing the negotiating position of the UK government featured annotations in her handwriting
1990 Thatcher gave her personal approval to secret talks with the IRA
1993 John Major’s government conducted secret talks with the IRA.
1973 - 1990 UK government maintained a secret back channel to talk with the IRA
2010 Tory peer called David James admitted that he had a history of secretly laundering money for the IRA.
So its wrong if you talk to the IRA openly, but OK if you do it secretly?Not forgetting a present Tory councillor for Croydon who was a serving member of the provisional IRA.
Can't be bothered going over the other old chesnuts, and yes politicians can't always get their figures right- poor Gove got his knickers in a twist over figures on the Nick Ferrari radio programme, Philip Hammond was hopeless and embarrasing with figures on BBC radio 4... it happens but some get attacked for it more than others.
The Sun is the pits- Gotcha!

Indeed.
Backto the thread..
Labour has done astonishingly well despite the mud slung from beyond our tax laws and this election may well be the one in which the influence of our odious press sinks into the slime.
I'm not sure that Facebook / Twitter etc are totally in the ascendancy yet, but we're seeing the transition from headlines to screengrabs.
Young people - I'm 60 - not me then -don't read newspapers and so it would appear are beyond the reach of the hate comics and their position-protecting agenda.
Is anyone now expecting to see headlines linking the Tories with Protestant paramilitary groups.
Welcome to the UDMay , Here come the CONDUPES ?
I'm sure you can come up with MUCH better than me

You are aware that the Sun is online too.....just because young people don't read printed newspapers doesn't mean that they aren't fed the same BS. The content is the same, it's just delivered in a different format.

I think you'll find most young people choose not to read the sun online.

I don't know why anyone, young or old, would choose to read the Sun either in print or online, so I'm happy to take your word for it

It's been interesting, post election, to see interviews with younger and first time voters. Many seem to be saying that they get their information from social media rather than in the way that people like me do (newspapers both paper and online and TV and radio news). It has made me wonder if newspapers urging people to vote one way or the other still have the sway they once had.

John Prescott gleefully tweeted on Thursday night that he'd heard that Murdoch had left his election party in disgust at the Exit Poll. They have totally lost their grip on government. It's wonderful.

I think it's case of you needing to be careful of what you wish for. At least there are mechanisms in place to ensure that the mainstream media isn't peddling blatant lies and misinformation. But social media is like the Wild West

True, but maybe those more social media savvy than me are good at sifting out the rubbish!

If you have been a life long Socialist, why do you choose to live with, and benefit from, the prosperity and benefits of capitalism in the UK?
Why don't you go and live in a socialist country like Cuba, North Korea, China, Russia or Venezuela?

Or Denmark, Finland, Canada, Netherlands, Belgium, Ireland Sweden, Norway. Bloody socialists I wish they all eff off and take their NHS with them... Stop using the Sun for your facts you're behaving like a silly billy.

I don't think you know what Socialism is and as I've said before, Socialism is good for some things and Capitalism is good for some things.
