So just a quickie but it sums up why I get pissed off at politicians and particularly UKIP.
Douglas Carswell tweeted the following earlier today (it got RT into my timeline)
UKIP MP Douglas Carswell’s tweet
The article linked to was this one
The actual article linked
When you click on the twitter button this is what actually comes up to RT
What it comes up with if you hit the Twitter button on the article
So Carswell changes it to state that a Cameron adviser confirms that the UK will join the UK whereas the actual story is that former deputy Michael Hestletine’s personal opinion is that the UK will join the Euro but not in the foreseeable future.
It is shit like this that pisses me off. He has changed the tone of the tweet and actually completely misidentified Hestletine as a Cameron adviser when in fact he is just giving his own opinion and isn’t an adviser to the PM but who wants the truth eh? UKIP make a living on spreading misinformation that the public believe and clearly Douglas Carswell quickly got the memo that you win votes by lies and not trusting the public with the facts and the truth.
Doesn’t it just make you want to vomit and yet no doubt he is busy slapping himself on the back for being so smart as to change a view words to change the tone of a story knowing that many people will believe it and won’t even bother clicking on the link to see the actual facts behind the story.
I despair and have vomit to clean up. Thanks Douglas!
