TBF once you realise astroturfing is a thing it’s easy to get a bit tinfoil hat about it :lol:

The fact that it's so widespread that it has a name, means maybe it isn't as Tinfoil hat as you might think..

Nothing tinfoil hat about astroturf campaigns, all the big governments and industries do it.
How about not having a sig at all?

I've got no idea where you pick up all this lingo @ZedLeg!? No doubt you get a kick out of dropping a word that nobody on here understands.:lol: I do like that one, though, very apt.

I do like astroturfing, as a phrase - it's fake grass(roots support)

Next you lot will be telling us you don't know what stochastic terrorism is!

Read this and I bet you'll recognise it straight away though:

This whatsapp group is building to be a much bigger story than the party wants it to be I’d imagine.

Aside from the offensive nature of the group, they should be sacked for being so stupid to not realise in the backstabbing world of politics, putting stuff ‘out there’ is more than likely going to be used against you at some point.

Never post anything online (in any form) you wouldn't be prepared to defend at a work tribunal or in court.

It's really quite simple. Thick twats :lol:

I can't believe this. I'm totally shocked and didn't see it coming at all.

It’s dodgy enough as it is, builds will be complete crap if they mass hire anyone with their own nail gun.

Yep, the quality of a new build estate near my old house was terrible.

Quality of any new build is shite, friend of a friend is a bricklayer. Old school about mid 50’s. He has to set out all the foundations and the corners, because all the new bricklayers coming through can’t follow plans- if you get it wrong at that stage you’ll end up with half bricks and cuts mid wall so it’s really important- if you follow the Welsh “absolutely ridiculous” fella who snags new builds you’ll see what happens when you get it wrong- walls about 4 inch out of plumb

The only benefit of a new build is the ability to run through walls to recreate Juggernaut 😎

Oh he's brilliant. I often wonder if every house he inspects could become a video or it's just the odd one.
