One of Boris’ new cabinet wants to drop commitment to protect workers rights. There’s a fucking surprise.

Ultimately these people want to destroy the Welfare State, take us back to unfetterd Capitalism  - see you at the Soup Kitchen!

We have all had enough of these English charlatans ruling Scotland. Here in Aberdeen we have their little helpers in the shape of a shambolic minority Labour council. Their leader – Barney Crockett continues to fly the Union Jack from the Townhouse to show his undying support for this corruption of our democratic right. I would urge the good people of Scotland to join the All Under One Banner / Yes March here in Aberdeen on Saturday 17th August
starting at Albyn Place 1.30pm.

Cheers m8. Would have missed this without your cut and paste posts on here. Have added it to my calender.

Cambridge Analytica was a British company. The services they offered were no different from those employed by Obama and Cameron in their election wins. They had a member of the British Royal Family on the board!

Liam O Hare on the deep connections between Cambridge Analytica’s parent company Strategic Communication Laboratories (SCL Group)  and the Conservative Party and military establishment, ‘Board members include an array of Lords, Tory donors, ex-British army officers and defense contractors. This is scandal that cuts to the heart of the British establishment.’

 

For some reason Carole Cadwalldr wants everyone to connect CA to Russia. This may or not be connected to her being part of the Integrity Initiative funded by the Foreign Office.

When Obama was doing it the media thought it was great (a common theme tbf)

Barack Obama's re-election team are building a vast digital data operation that for the first time combines a unified database on millions of Americans with the power of Facebook to target individual voters to a degree never achieved before.

Digital analysts predict this will be the first election cycle in which Facebook could become a dominant political force. The social media giant has grown exponentially since the last presidential election, rendering it for the first time a major campaigning tool that has the potential to transform friendship into a political weapon.

Facebook is also being seen as a source of invaluable data on voters. The re-election team, Obama for America, will be inviting its supporters to log on to the campaign website via Facebook, thus allowing the campaign to access their personal data and add it to the central data store – the largest, most detailed and potentially most powerful in the history of political campaigns. If 2008 was all about social media, 2012 is destined to become the "data election".

 

The Tory 2015 majority was built on targeted advertising as well.

Nope. It was built on Labour's strategists denying Milliband the opportunity to present more radical policies to the electorate*, and the catastrophic, complacent abandonment of Scotland by the Labour Party.

If you offer a choice of two sets of Tory policies, don't get upset when people go for the original.

That's true but Cameron and Trump's teams both identified the exact voters that they needed to win and designed policies to be micro advertised directly to them.

The 2015 Tory majority was wafer thin relying on only 900 votes. The Labour failure and the Tory success are two different matters.

I see vauxhall are warning of plant closures at Ellesmore Port.I remember the good old days when the car industry was only going to take a hit in Germany

Aye I remember when we had the Hillman Imp factory in Scotland, just as we had shipbuilding and mining and all the other industries Thatcher and Co ran into the ground.

Feck the car factories in England and Wales, who in those countries gives a feck for any industry in Scotland.

Where was the fuckin concern in those countries when over 100,000 North Sea offshore and onshore workers lost their jobs when the oil industry went tit's up. 

Charity begins at Home.

The fact that it is a British Company is irrelevant, it's much more down to three questions and your evidently very ignorant about the facts (although this doesn't matter).

  1. Was the data used obtained legally and was it handled legally?
  2. Was the money spent by Leave.EU being laundered by foreign parties through a UK national or business?
  3. Was their additional funding kept off of the books that violated campaign laws?

The answer to question one is very easy to answer and their is a huge amount of circumstantial evidence to suggest that this Aaron Banks boy may not be as squeaky clean as he appears and he can't provide evidence of where he obtained his money from. The third answer is definitely a yes but due to Facebook not handing over evidence, we don't know how much and where it is coming from and for what specific cause.

Your comparison to previous elections isn't just a bit of an interpretation difference, it's just a blatant lie. No previous campaign in British politics or US politics up to this point has utilised millions of datasets in this way and also obtained them illegally. Facebook and Cambridge Analytica have had a bit of a back in forth about this with Facebook claiming that they were mislead about the intent and they believed that the data was going to an academic purpose but regardless, it was blatantly illegal as f**k and this has been recognised with a record fine in the US.

Just because our electoral commission are toothless and we can't understand the full extent of it doesn't mean that these people are not guilty. Let's be realistic, in the foreseeable future, we're likely going to not have many elections which don't violate these three ever again.
