Okay. I'll probably give it a watch at some point.
I still don't know much about him, to be honest, despite voting for him and Caroline.

Speaking of hashtags, this one surprised me a bit...
My home has been inundated with Tory propaganda.
We live in strange times.
I received a leaflet featuring a photo of May looking her most polished juxtaposed with one of Corbyn looking his very worst. What utterly crass & blatant tactics.
move home, it's the only way
Wow... going full Godwin.. . You must expect a conservative landslide if you need to scrape the barrel
And this is stil the most read paper i believe? I doubt they even read the content but the headline is enough to sway it's audience. A country manipulated by Paul Dacre, disgusting situation
Honest PM

Good morning for the tories, Ken Clarke saying he's glad the tory manifesto is uncosted and then Evan Davies completely making a fool of Farron on the costings of reducing immigration
Nothing on Kuenssberg tweet feed yet, lets watch this space. And yes i know its petty but its fun to watch her actions.

Nah that's The Sun.
Biggest news website, second biggest print circulation after the Sun.
Might have something to do with the manifesto pledging to stop Leveson 2.
I'm sorry but I don't have a clue what you're talking about.
I'm pretty sure it's their celeb stuff that is behind their web numbers though. The infamous sidebar of shame.
Godwin's Law - Every argument on the internet eventually culminates in comparisons to Hitler / Nazism
Maybe the SNP should wait a generation after all...
Godwin's a feckwit then.
Nothing like young beauties flaunting their toned pins to drive traffic.
"Woman wears clothes".
For those that haven't read the tory manifesto there is something in it that has very little air time. Once you read it you will guess why.
This is what the manifesto says about the internet.
"Some people say that it is not for government to regulate when it comes to technology and the internet," it states. "We disagree."
The Conservatives will also seek to regulate the kind of news that is posted online and how companies are paid for it. If elected, Theresa May will "take steps to protect the reliability and objectivity of information that is essential to our democracy"
Yeah, they want to control the internet and what you read. If you are not freaking out by now, you fecking should be.

It also says this...
Which I think is weird because it's pretty easy to access violent and degrading porn on the high street. Just get your phone out.
But seriously, if you haven't twigged that Theresa May is a horrible authoritarian you haven't been paying attention.

How are they going to enforce that or fund new policing? "Tories to ban porn" that would certainly lose some votes
Politicians in general don't understand the limits of their influence in regards to the internet but this is particularly true of the authoritarian tories.
Quite impressive ''nothing to do with us'' excerpt from Theresa's Manifesto

"We see rigid dogma as needless and dangerous" exhorted May, whilst explaining what Conservatism had always and never been.
If the tories manifesto backfires and this becomes closer i hope Lib Dems have the sense to stand down in marginal seats.
Did Chris Morris write that?Quite impressive ''nothing to do with us'' excerpt from Theresa's Manifesto
So the whole storm around needing more immigrants and also Farron not knowing the costing.
BBC News, third story on their site is "Tory migrant target will be met sensibly'.
Well done BBC

I thought his criticism of UK's generosity was was way out of line actually. Not only do other contemporary nations fail to meet even 0.7% target, but he fails to consider the individual donations made by people on a regular basis. Britons are in fact the fourth most charitably minded globally, behind only the US, Canada and New Zealand.
Yet he's ashamed of us.
Those are mainstream views for the Greens. And what he said was "I'm ashamed we're even having this conversation," if memory serves.
He's not going to win over the UKIP vote, but he was articulate and likely came over well to most that are likely to vote Green.
I don't think it works on everything, see sport, hobbies, techniques etc. It needs to be a moral/ethical discussion ideally about political leaders.
I've checked, and it was:
"I am ashamed of our country, when we spend 40% of our GDP and public expenditure on ourselves, the 5th largest economy, and can just about scrape together 0.7% for the rest of the world."
Nah, he's still a prick. Worse than Natalie Bennett too, who while being out of her depth at times nevertheless came over as a likeable person.
My bad, pretty sure he still said that later on though.
