That reminds me of the day the guy in the workshop put petrol in the cat's bowl, it went round and round so fast you could hardly see it, then dropped silently to the ground,
Dead? Nah! run out of petrol.

I think it's an insult to suggest people can be influenced and that people don't know what they are voting for!
Wasn't referring to papers Mike - only the data used to attempt to influence people via targeted ads and the like. And no, I choose not to read the papers - I used to , but prefer to make my own decisions based on what I see in real life and what people say and do - not what I read. As for adverts - I cannot abide any advertising. I literally mute / switch channels / switch off any ads and prefer not to watch any terrestrial TV these days, not do I tolerate websites with excessive ads - my ad blockers do a cracking job thanks.Michel wrote: ↑26 Mar 2018, 17:49GiveMeABreak wrote: ↑26 Mar 2018, 16:57

Really? So the Daily Mail and it's (proven) lies doesn't influence anyone? Or the Guardian? Or the Express? Or the Mirror?... the entire media is designed to influence people!

You may be surprised if you go through tour privacy settings on your phone and see what apps currently have access to this sort of date
