No but the polls do…
They take a select number and using them guess what the rest say…
If the change to RAFAC from VRT taught you anything polls are useless!

Oi! Take it elsewhere!
I voted leave, but for many reasons I believed would happen. Take the £350 million going back into the NHS for one of the big reasons that was plastered everywhere.
At the time quite a few other reason to leave were explained but going by what Jonathan Pie (Tom Walker) has been saying they were all lies and will not happen. He says it in simple speak for me to understand, I do not watch the news because it is often all bad and depressing news, but he says what you would never hear a reporter say on tv.
So for now I would vote “I do not care” only because I can not trust politicians.

I’m hoping my dual nationality may help me out if the country completley falls apart! The only issue is that the other country is currently run by a wig wearing, fake tan to resemble an oompa lumps racist bigot…
Last chance or we’ll start removing posts.
A car advert where they claim to be able to drive beyond the horizon. How stupid can you get, ranks alongside everyone should be above average.

News item yesterday about Boris Johnson and his gf having a ‘row’ and the neighbour reporting it as they were concerned.
Turns out the neighbour is a pro-EU Leftie who works in the theatre who sent this to the Guardian as well as telling the police and it seems records these things. Has bragged about being rude to Boris Johnson and thinks Corbyn is wonderful.
Why aren’t these things looked into and then reported accordingly.

All i need to say is The S*n…fake news sells papers 
Just like the Guardian.
Just like all media. I find if you read the Telegraph and the Guardian the truth is somewhere between the two versions they tell

Exactly.
Isnt that illegal under current Tele comms Legislation.?
Agreed.
Both generally report the facts, with a bit of opinion thrown in for a slightly left/right wing stance thrown in.
The likes of The Sun/Mail/Mirror I don’t trust to report the facts.
Prep advice from OASC used contain instructions to avoid those newspapers
It still does.
The OASC prep booklet on BADER has not changed. It literally just has CFC on the front rather than VRT.
It’s actually quite dated and I didn’t reference it that much, mainly just for an idea of how OASC would play out. I found my own prep much more useful.
No, it’s not illegal to record something that happens in either a public space, or your private space.
If they had used a recording device to record sounds that could only be heard in Johnson’s flat, then that would be illegal, but the sounds could be heard both in the ‘public’ areas of the building, and in the informants flat - if the sound is in your flat, it becomes your property, and you can do what you like with it.
Much like photography - if you’re in a public space,or your private property, you can photograph whoever the help you like. You don’t have a right to privacy when you’re not in private, and that applies as much to your sounds as it does to your face.

While not illegal perhaps, the owner has a responsibility to use it for purely benign reasons. However if the recording of an individual be that photo, sound or film (or ‘grab’ from said film) is used against said individual, to ridicule, defame, cause distress or unease in some way etc, then the individual as every right to full legal recourse and damages against whoever did it. Especially when it comes to twitbook et al, there are still people who use these and don’t realise once you’ve published it, it’s there instantly and there is no going back.
I bet it wouldn’t go down well if a newspaper used a photo of cadets and or staff and said what a shower, they are a disgrace etc, as has been done on here about staff (more so) in the past.
What stupidity are you talking about now?
When I did SERE the first paper on the breakfast table was the Sun, but it did have page 3 at the time.

Err, you can’t defame someone by simply playing the words they actually said…
There is no such ‘duty to be “benign”’. Publication in the public interest seems entirely made out to me.
