Well, they will insist on speaking.

[vetuste_ennemi]

We are fortunate to have dispassionate publishers like Facebook exposing hypocrisy.

And individuals with impeccable intellectual and moral pretensions like Canary.

If we post every time politicians lie.... we will all be her forever :-)

[Old_Geezer]

I don't see the issue. The extra cash over 3 years added up to what they claimed it was. I'd have thought the Tories had a case against Facebook for trying to spoil their reputation, assuming that's possible.

[cassa333]

It was just a matter of how it was reported. £14b is the overall funding. With 7 as a one year maximum.

So not a lie just misleading if you never read articles and only take the headline as your news.

Actually it just sort of shows how shallow some people are if it’s just Headlines and sound bites make up their knowledge.

[ichkeria]

Ha ha yes welcome to the world of the misleading headline.
It’s all most people ever read.

[Bazile]

The fact is the headline what people see is what is imprinted on the brain

Remember the omnibus ?

50 % off ( up to, in tiny letters )

[Zacs-Master]

Doesn’t seem to have done them any harm:

Canary me old china, can you point out the untruths in that article.
"The spending announcement provided an extra £2.6bn next year, £4.8bn the year after that and £7.1bn in 2022-23." - when I went to school that adds up to £14.3bn. Now we know that English is a struggle for you canary, still not grasped the red bus? It now seems arithmetic is also a bit of a struggle.
I don't suppose you'll return to this thread now, poor canary, never learns.

TTT drives his coach and horses into the thread, as usual, and sorts it all out, as usual. You tell 'em, TTT!!!

[Gromit]

It is a deliberate altering of the BBC graphic which involved some Photoshopping to erase the Headline, and replace it with a fictitious headline more suited to the Conservative’s line.

Oh and in any case when did Facebook suddenly become a paragon of virtue that says if a political statement is true or not?

[Old_Geezer]

Hardly fictitious. Just different. Highlighting the fact they wanted to be known.

[ToraToraTora]

oh dear yet another false grenade post from canary to which he as not returned. What a surprise!

[ToraToraTora]

canary, canary........ PMSL!

[gulliver1]

As you quite rightly say Canary, more lies from the CONs, when Thatcher is reffered to as TGL , do they mean
Tories Greatest Liar

[ToraToraTora]

anyone seen canary and gulliver in the same room......?

[gulliver1]

P/S Forgot to add PMSL.
