Going by the range of dates on his tweets he must have the worst facebook password ever. And to go in and hack his facebook page in 2011 nearly 2 years before he joined UKIP is real dedication.

You are aware magic hacking cant just happen anymore arent you all (unless GCHQ & the NSA are doing it because thats ok apparently) The guy is either so stupid that his password is his kids name or he happily used his account in untrusted location or he is lieing.

Kid's blasting everything in sight with that new-fangled musket.


Follow-up to my previous post, from BBC:

After a draw for podium places, the Green Party's Natalie Bennett will take the left-hand position followed, from left to right, by Mr Clegg for the Liberal Democrats, UKIP's Nigel Farage, Mr Miliband, Plaid Cymru's Leanne Wood, SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon and Mr Cameron

What does this meant for the tactics of the debate? In this poster's opinion, probably gently caress all.

You can actually set a facebook post's timestamp to whenever you want and it'll appear as if it was posted at that time but I highly doubt that UKIP guy is even aware of that. Even if he was the dates on the comments would give it away.

I think this is the first election where the BBC read and summarized the manifestos for the election so you don't have to read War and Peace manifestos?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election/2015/manifesto-guide#tab=issue!issue=priorities!party=!nation=uk

I like that they even read like the parties who wrote them, take UKIP:

Environment
  • Repeal the Climate Change Act 2008
  • Protect the greenbelt
  • End so-called green taxes to cut fuel bills
  • Prioritise support for organic farms


:smug: so-called "green taxes" :smug:

Prepare to be surprised as all hell

quote:

A briefing document seen by the Guardian reveals that leaders who are most criticised or questioned will be given more time to respond by Julie Etchingham during tonights two-hour ITV debate. Our political correspondent Rowena Mason reports:

It suggests David Cameron, Nick Clegg and Ed Miliband are in line for a greater amount of airtime, as they will probably come under greater scrutiny than leaders of smaller parties such as Plaid Cymrus Leanne Wood, Ukips Nigel Farage, the SNPs Nicola Sturgeon, and the Green partys Natalie Bennett.

The leaders offices were told: Some leaders may have more time speaking during the programme than others, taking into account the different roles and responsibilities of the individual leaders. All leaders will have an appropriate opportunity to be heard during the programme but an equality of time speaking will not be a measure of overall fairness.

The briefing document also sets out minute details about how the debates will be run, including how applause is only allowed at the beginning and end. It also stipulates that there will be a clock telling leaders how much time they have left for answers, which will not be visible to the audience or viewers.

No, it's a one-minute statement followed by the moderator telling everyone to shut up and let the worst people speak, because being rightfully criticised means they should get the most airtime to push their narrative

Miliband pulls a gun out on debate night and without missing a beat, shoots the other 6 cleanly in the head. He will then look at the camera and smile his goofy smile. Slow fade to black. Audience gives standing ovation but is never seen again. Nothing remains. No evidence they were ever there.

It starts at 20:00 GMT. "Access to streaming the debate live is unrestricted so you can stream it from anywhere in the world." Apparently.
