    Twitter is brilliant for finding people who agree with you and having a circle jerk. Also comes with the benefit of being able to mute or block those whose views don't align with yours.

    In fairness, I do remember somebody many years ago predicting that social media would lead to major advances for conservative politics, contrary to the belief that it would mostly benefit the Left.
    "Plenty of strikers can score goals," he said, gesturing to the famous old stands casting shadows around us.

    "But a lot have found it difficult wearing the number 9 shirt for The Arsenal."

    The consequence of this is that on June 9th there will actually be people who are surprised when the electorate hands Corbyn his arse. This can only happen when people are hiding from reality. As I said to someone the other day: If you keep being surprised by the results of popular votes, there's a good chance you exist in an echo chamber.

    I continually make the mistake of keeping an eye on what the leftists are saying, and it simply scares me.

    So many deluded loons. So many!

    Whoever said that was very perceptive. It certainly has provided a workaround that allows views that are at odds with the prevalent mainstream media agenda to be widely disseminated and discussed.

    It's true. I mean, I'm actually surprised when I see someone tweeting something that goes against currently allowable thought; I'm a bit like Winston Smith reading the book.

    I've no idea, I disconnected from reading his nonsense some years ago.

    Oddly, I met someone the other night who, quite by coincidence, works with him. "Is he still a sanctimonious little ****?" I enquired. The answer was, of course, in the affirmative.

    That is of course the other left wing trait, they are incredibly preachy.
