The @th3j35t3r Jubilee
With bells a-jingle and a cap askew,
Our merry jester turns a year anew.
His wit as sharp as any sword could be,
Today we celebrate his comedy.
May your quips stay quick, your tumbles spry,
Your juggling balls soar ever high.
And as you blow your candles out with glee,
Remember all the mirth you've brought to we.
Happy Birthday, jester, may your day
Be filled with all the jest you give away!
And happy 4th July
Robin "what's with the outrage today...isn't today meant to be a celebration?"
SNP are always pointing at others for being hypocrites while they do exactly the same things
😆
Diehards ignoring SNP are just as bad as others is insane and dishonest as well as misleading people into thinking SNP are different when they ain't
"Halo effect"

Cash-strapped SNP-led Glasgow City Council has been savaged after it was revealed that it has spent £50k on sending its councillors abroad on lavish trips in just two years - through freedom of information - showed that Nat councillors still enjoyed expensive trips abroad over the last two years while telling others to cut back - Overall the spend on travel costs and accommodation in 2022 hit £23,392.55, with this then increasing to £26,758.81 in 2023.
Hezbollah launched some 200 rockets and 20 drones from Lebanon at northern Israel - According to the Ynet news site, firefighters are tackling large blazes in at least 10 locations in the Galilee and Golan Heights after this morning’s assault - In response, fighter jets struck several Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon’s Ramyeh and Houla
Meanwhile:
It's taken until 2024, but Japan has finally said goodbye to floppy disks - Up until last month, people were still asked to submit documents to the government using the outdated storage devices - In 2021, Mr Kono had "declared war" on floppy disks. On Wednesday, almost three years later, he announced: "We have won the war on floppy disks!"

@Kaydenpat tbf it isn't actual lies
The "newspapers" are misleading readers by making the readers think they are legitimate local news sources/outlets that favor the candidate in question
The actual stuff in they "newspapers" aren't lies it's actual real literature to promote their candidate - misleading public into assuming it comes from independent journalists working for local news outlets is the issue
@ACG2 back atcha :)

The party wrote: “Tabloid newspapers are an effective way of communicating with people and have been used by all political parties for decades… different people take in information in different formats, tabloids often reach people that different designs don’t.
In many parts of the country, the Lib Dem tabloid format is a well-established and trusted local brand in its own right.”

Fake news batters UK and France ahead of elections

Just think before sharing
Press regulator Impress has also hit out at the ads, saying last year that “it is essential that the public are able to trust what they read… misleading the public with fake newspapers will only damage that trust”.
Earlier this year the Liberal Democrats published a page on its website acknowledging the criticisms, but defending the practice in principle
petition launched this year by fact-checkers Full Fact calling for an end to “deceptive campaign practices” — including both fake newspapers and ads that look like polling cards or final notices — received 17,730 signatures and was sent to the leaders of all the major parties.

Amid the well-documented decline of local newspapers, the choice by political parties to dress election literature as though it were news is just bizarre and shows even politicians who might tell us to watch out for fake stuff are indeed pushing fake stuff

January the Society of Editors called for the practice of parties printing election newspapers to end, arguing it “damage[s] democracy and undermine[s] public trust in both politics and the news media”.
