Chris Wylie (the pink haired guy) in front of the House of Commons select committee Obviously knows a bit about Cambridge Analytica but comes across as a bit of a conspiracy nut mentioning how his predescessor died in mysterious circumstances. Links AIQ and Cambridge Analytica and adds in some other "shady" companies "Black Cube" and " ASI Data Science" Mentions a total disregard for the law. Wylie says the DUP, Vote Leave, BeLeave and Veterans for Britain all used AIQ. Wow - think the committee will probably dismiss him as a nutcase to be honest due to the way he presents himself. If I met him in the pub I would too I'm afraid :)

Wow - When Grant Shapps thinks you're arrogant :) "Last year, Shapps gave his recollection of that encounter, writing in the Sun that he was ?shocked by their sheer arrogance?. He wrote: ?At the end of the stormiest meeting I held, they informed me: ?You will live to regret your decision, chairman?.?" https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/mar/26/fiery-self-important-the-no-10-adviser-at-centre-of-outing-claim

I'm not sure about pleased - reminds me to much of Tony when we're moving towards Cold War II. Back Putin in to a corner but make sure that you leave that little "Exit with Face" door open - or he will come out fighting.

A surprise, for me, on Thursday. What could it be ? https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2018/03/26/kremlin-warns-boris-johnson-has-surprise-compare-russia-nazi/

Ouch. Sixty Russian diplomats expelled by the USA.

Could Theresa May be preparing to jettison Stephen Parkinson (Political Advisor). She's given him the dreaded vote of confidence. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/mar/26/brexit-whistleblower-shahmir-sanni-no-10-official-outed-me-to-distract-from-claims

Except it's not all for foreign aid - it's for pushing British interests in a rather imperial way (why do you think corrupt officials get some and British companies get the contracts). Ironically that's what Boris said he wanted to divert aid to .. British Interests ... but that's what it's always been used for Boris :) https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/jul/23/uk-colonialism-aid-spending

When I worked for the NHS (admittedly way back) it wasn't just use it or lose it, but your budget for next year would be correspondingly reduced if you didn't use all of this years.

This still rolls on and on (it's like background noise now) - I don't know if it's real or dirty tricks anymore. I guess the probability is both sides cheated. Vote Leave had some money but had spent their entire allowance so they gave it to Be Leave (the youth group), But the money was given straight to AIQ in Canada. Vote Leave supposedly controlled how the money was spent. An activist has whistle blown to the Guardian (although he still believes in Leave) about the figures and a prominent member of Vote Leave hints it's because a relationship between them ended so outing him (the guy is now the PMs political secretary). The outed guy has relations in Pakistan who are now at risk it is claimed. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-43527924

Cambridge Analyica are just much creepier The boasting got to me https://www.standard.co.uk/news/politics/cambridge-analytica-suspends-ceo-alexander-nix-after-he-was-secretly-filmed-boasting-of-dirty-tricks-a3794936.html Why Ukrainian ?

LOL, but Obama's nice he can come on my Facebook page anytime. If I see Trump there I'll kick him :)

Agreed - I don't do home deliver as I like fruit and veg to be unripe (it'll ripen at home if I want it to). I only use the self-service at Asda for a few top up items - and then I call over the attendant often - as something always goes wrong (I've been known to threaten the machine LOL) :)

I caught one mouse ( a big one - maybe daddy mouse) but there's a small one that I've actually seen take the bait from my traps without being caught. To make it more difficult I mashed up a peanut into granules and stuck that in. We'll see who wins.

Cambridge Analytica have emptied their offices before the information commissioner can get in - that raid was delayed and publicised - so there won't be any smoking guns there. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/mar/22/cambridge-analytica-warrant-high-court-adjourns-hearing-information-commissioner

or he knows all of this and he's just trolling.

I don't like mirrors without being dysmorphic , I'll drape my bags over the screen.

It's the people who have voyeuristic impulses who are the problem here not women or trans. I cant see any solution other than additional gender fluid rooms.

I did get the impression that some people felt there was sometimes too much of a center left remain consensus. But no-ones going to swap sides for the sake of balance :)

Even the Fishermen don't want Jacob Rees-Mogg on their boat. Edit: No it was TFL who blocked him. "Mr Rees-Mogg then fled the protest" https://www.standard.co.uk/news/politics/jacob-reesmogg-thames-fishing-protest-descends-into-farce-as-tfl-blocks-trawler-from-docking-a3795181.html

Peckham Rye end of Rye Lane has acquired quite a few new coffee shops and restaurants over the last few years. Apparently a bike shop will be opening underneath Co-Op house soon. Whether you like that type of regeneration or not, it has happened. Other changes too, some for the worse, when I first moved here The Hope pub was still open (now it's a bookies), there was no John The Unicorn, but there were a Currys, Woolworths and Carpetright on Rye Lane.

The hairdresser shops are being relocated IIRC (might be wrong)

Listening to my co-workers conversations today .. yes they go exactly like this and you can add in the office gossip too. We could have a moderated group of course ?
