Brexit, for once some facts.
- Thread starter flecc
- Start date
I doubt that propaganda was the intention, but selling their paper was. Lobby Lud was invented by the long defunct Westminster Gazette.
It was a seaside town competition created because people on holiday were known to be less likely to buy a newspaper. The £5 then was worth about £290 today, plenty of incentive to buy a paper which was necessary to know how to claim.
Much later several other newspapers did similar in turn.

What does Brexit cost?
Sky News understands the UK's second-biggest steel producer British Steel is seeking an urgent £100m Government loan after Prime Minister Theresa May's failure to pass a Brexit deal left it frozen out of an EU-wide carbon trading scheme

Yes, the Beeb reported it a day earlier. They would normally have got a carbon credit from the EU for the carbon savings they made, which would cover this cost.
Due to the still existing threat of us walking out without a deal, all such payments are frozen at present, leaving British Steel with a big cash flow problem.

So the 1.5 billion civil service bill did not include identifying this and doing something about it?
That shouldn’t pose a problem. The government wasted £1500 million on a shambolic No Deal Brexit plan, and spent a further £1000 million buying the DUP. £100 million to save jobs and an industry is peanuts.
or the 100 billion for that vanity project HS2
You didn’t actually expect a public service department being hosed with money to achieve something did you?
I’m no fan of the ERG, but it’s this sort of idiotic clownery which makes Labour totally unelectable. Mental cases such as Lammy need to be run out of town, and then we might achieve a credible opposition.
“David Lammy has sparked a row after claiming that comparing the pro-Brexit European Research Group to the Nazis is not “strong enough”.
What a 24 Carat lard headed pillock.

Hmm!
They were indeed words that tend to inflame, but then again it is considered fair comment for Tory politicians to refer to Corbyn as an unreconstructed Marxist isn't it?
And a great deal of truth was revealed about the conservatives and their attitude to Hitler in this interview.
His mistake was to tell the truth, not smart in politics.
A few more good words from David Lammy - Future PM in my view
If you had followed the whole story, you would have understood why he did what he did. Having followed his story from more or less the beginning, I would say that I would trust him a lot more than most politicians. I'd also trust him more than most of the mainstream media reporters. I wouldn't vote for him because of my own politics. I'm not a fanboy, but what I can say is that the guy is highly intelligent, extremely brave, and some of the population need a guy like that to represent them. It's not his politics that interest me, it's the way the establishment has treated him. If they can do that to him, they can do it to anyone. You know that he was jailed for an offence that wasn't actually an offence without a trial, without a jury, without any legal representation and without any right of appeal? Is that British justice? As I keep telling you, if you watch any of his videos, you will soon change your opinion., but you prefer to remain ignorant and bleat out what you hear in the mainstream media. That's your choice.
He was one of the first that figured out how to manipulate the media to get his own advantage. He was caught buying his own record to get it up the charts - not Motorway (great song), the one after, I think. He's got a lot to answer for.
