    't was free when I posted it: the FT paywalls based on traffic stats, I believe.

    Maybe turn your VPN off, become a little less cheeky, avail yourself of readily-available tools, or just search for another source?

    It's different to a dremel, I can tell you that much.

    edit : dammit, he added a dremel reference before i replied ...

    dremel ... small rotary multi-tool (used for case modding a lot)
    VPN ... virtual private network but you knew that

    Yep. Banned, again. Back to the actual topic at hand: how much politicians suck...

    For those few Conservative voters still arguing the "Labour just wastes money" and "the Conservatives are the party of fiscal responsibility" lines...

    The Treasury sent a document to journalists arguing those self-same points... while admitting in the appendices that it's absolute horseapples.

    Yeah. Might want to revise your beliefs on that front.

    It doesn't matter. The Tories have used the same tactic for decades: say something often enough and your base will believe it.

    Anyone remember Thatcher's green shoots of recovery bs?

    According to Scientific American

    Joseph Goebbels, minister of propaganda for the Nazi German government of the Third Reich, understood the power of repeating falsehoods. “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it,” he asserted, “people will eventually come to believe it.” This phenomenon, pervasive in contemporary politics, advertising, and social media, is known in cognitive psychology as the “illusory truth effect.”

    The Tories taking their cues from Nazis?

    I'm shocked. Shocked, I tell you.

    Well, not that shocked.

    I wasn't sure where the repeating of the lie becoming 'truth' originated, as I have heard it described otherwise as I lie told to yourself often enough becomes the truth.
    What a source, those Nazis knew a thing a two about propaganda and manipulation of the public

    They also liked a referendum or two to consolidate power.

    Say what you want about the Nazis but I don't think they ever stooped so low as printing lies on the side of buses.

    Two in less than a year.

    Guess he doesn't need to be replaced, I mean it's not like there's a role for ethics at the moment.

    One is unfortunate, two is just careless...
