Fake news

It has already started in Germany. Government officials are shouting 'fake news' at any story, especially stories regarding immigrants. Merkel has already mentioned in several speeches that maybe government action is needed to stop the 'fake news', but as gregorystevens has pointed out, it is very dangerous when a government can decide what is, and what isn't, fake! It's is just a very small step before the government can decide what news you can hear, and what should be kept from you. Very dangerous.

Constant war in remote places

Once we hated Russia, then we liked Russia. Now we hate Russia. We have always hated Russia.

Orwell was indeed a genius as he tied it in to the specifics of all authoritarian regimes. "Memory holes" are a key part of it and that term should live forever as its a brilliant one liner to represent the suppression of free media and the revision of history.

Glad I have some fellow independent minded Gasheads. Perhaps we can share a verse of Irene as we are shipped off to the re education camps!

The real issue is so called fake news and false flags, have been around since the invention of the written word, the bigger issue in my mind is how many people still believe everything they are told(fake news by governments or by mp's who suddenly become experts only a day after being given a cabinet position), ie its on telly/internet so it must be true ,then change their minds when it gets poo poo'd by the powers that be to be fake.
Also remember that if you stick your head above the parapet so to speak then you can and will be monitered by the so called security forces.
Yes the press need to f**k off when hounding innoocent people but if you have done something bad then tough sh**
What also make me laugh is people like myself who have seen this stuff coming amongst other errosions of personal freedom, were traditionally laughed at and called either loopy or eccentric and wore hats made of tin foil

We arn't that far away from orwells book as the technology exists to spy on and control people already and to some extent is used daily, a lot of people wouldn't have a clue if they were being watched as the electronic fingerprints they leave every day is phenominal. whoever is in power will bring up fake news to force the sheep in society to back them and accept what they are told without raising an eyebrow , a lot of todays yung uns think using the technology available to them is private and confidential(not realising that a lot of stuff they post belongs not to them but to the site they are uploaded to) , you try and explain to em how much the authorities can find out about em and the think your mad .

I'm all for revisionist history as new facts are discovered everyday and almost never bought to the attention of the masses as people would realise they have been lied to all thier lives, and forced for 5 or more years to study the lies through school as history is written by the victors and the losers perspective is all lies

Just remember one of the biggest removers of the freedoms this country enjoyed was a certain mr bLair.

for anyone interesteed the fbi have recently declassified a lot of documents which are available online free of charge.

Im glad i've past 50 and i dont have to look at th e world in another 50 odd years time

I wouldn`t mind being re educated.  All I wanted to do at school, was play football and cricket.  Hardly listened to anything the teachers said.

Wot - no fags in the park shelter or pinball in the local cafe - what sort of school did you go to?

GGMI has been banned.

I am sat on the balcony of our room with her, drinking Chang beer........and I am still watching you......How is your holibob going?

Week ban.

More for persistent fouling and failure to take the advice of the ref than a proper yellow card offence.

Always a difficult one to judge, but when people keep deliberately kicking up a sh** storm, it's only going to end that way.

Certain other posters, please take note.....

I don't got for another 7, 8 weeks or so. May 24th.
