As it seems the vogue

To make a fuss about things which aren't being discussed on here....
Surprised there are no threads about the spending corruption by the leave campaign in the referendum.

Looks really bad from what I can make out.
Im not sure what they can do about it, as I'm sure they aren't about to declare the election void.

Question though - is this the reason that the Tory press have gone into overdrive re: anti-Semitism, or is it the upcoming local elections?

I think they have spotted a moment to give a labour a good kicking, people appear to be buying it again too.

Plenty of allies within the Labour party.

Whats worse, foreign meddling, Cambridge Analytica, overspending ( google "overspending on elections followed by a party name y ) ,this has a long way to run and I have a feeling the above three are not just one party issues,overspend has gone on for years

My message is if you cant think for yourself, don't vote , i have asked number of people, and can't find a single person who was effected by the election overspend , or the miss use of targeted social media. lets move on

What would happen if it transpires that a well known country that is not Russia meddled in the US elections? It seem like at present everything depends on Russia being the bad guys, and all roads lead to Moscow, even theCambridge Analytica/Facebook controversy.

I don't even know who it is behind it , lets hope we find out , Russia does seem to be the focus of attention around the world from left , center,moderate and right wing governments even coalitions , what we don't know or see is the bigger picture , something is up in the world order though , all the way down to the City being in second , what is going on ???????.

If you asked people if advertising had an effect on them, what do you think they'd say?

I honestly don't know,I think it is viewed as an Initial interest most get turned of , for example, pop ups all everyone does is moan about them , adverts on TV are used for urination and chomping , stuff through the letter box in the bin?,
