Addendum: seemingly, the #OrgClassifPPUKConservatives, as run by #OrgClassifPPUKConservativesRishiSunak are #PoliticsSocialism.ist. Presumably, this points to the #PhenomnVirusCOVID19PandemicFurlough i.e. what else have the Conservatives done, which could be even vaguely described as being socialist?

A claim was lodged against PPE Medpro at the High Court by Steve Barclay, secretary of state for health and social care, relating to breach of a government deal awarded in June 2020.
It is understood that the government's legal claim relates to the contract price and estimated storage and disposal costs. ...
PPE Medpro received £80mn and £122mn in contracts without competitive tender following a recommendation to ministers by lingerie entrepreneur and Conservative peer Baroness Michelle Mone." https://www.ft.com/content/8a57a680-ea45-4d5b-be82-3cca1e9f305e #OrgClassifPPUKConservativesSteveBarclay

I hope Nigel Farage sent flowers and chocolates. Boris Johnson must have been laughing all the way to the next ex-KGB agent's son's private Italian hilltop party. Lynch and the RMT will be first up against the wall come my Crushed Velvet Remainers' Revolution.
And yet, as well as being a Brexit arse, Lynch is also the greatest British spokesperson for workers' rights, and leftwing values generally, this century. His measured calm makes asinine fools of the usual tools dutifully dispatched to belittle his ilk - the BBC's Newscast team, Sky's Kay Burley, Rupert Murdoch's Piers Morgan, Mental Vacancy's Richard Madeley, Wheezing Badly's Nick Ferrari and Anti-woke Wank's Jonathan Gullis MP - simply by allowing them to parrot their gossamer toss uninterrupted, before courteously correcting them and then saying something drily amusing, which then goes viral and makes future Marxist guerrillas of millions of impressionable schoolchildren." https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/jul/31/praise-be-to-mick-lynch-the-brexit-arse-made-good #PhenomnBrexitLexit i.e. "Lexit: leftist exit from the European Union"

Viewed in this way, whataboutism is an effective strategy. It works on the principle that offence is the best form of defence. By launching a counter-attack, you place your opponent on the back foot." https://theconversation.com/whataboutism-what-it-is-and-why-its-such-a-popular-tactic-in-arguments-182911 #MetaphorWarfareCounterattack

Addendum: The new Conservative digital campaigners, both New Zealanders in their 20s, also flew around the world to promote the interests of clients such as Glencore, one of the world's biggest miners, while concerns - which they strongly denied - were raised about some of their behaviour in the office.
The pair's arrival comes after their success helping Australia's rightwing coalition unexpectedly win the country's general election, where they were praised by local media for their understanding of how to fight online campaigns. Purposefully low-quality memes based around popular shows such as Game of Thrones were used in a bid to drive interactions - good or bad - at any cost, on the basis that this would boost the reach of future Facebook posts.
'We'd make them really basic and deliberately lame because they'd get shares and lift our reach; that made our reach for the harder political messages higher,' an anonymous individual told the Sydney Morning Herald, dubbing the strategy 'boomer memes' as the content appealed to older audiences.
In recent days, the Conservatives have begun purposefully posting badly-designed social media material, at one point urging MPs to back a Brexit deal using the often-derided Comic Sans font. The Tories' political opponents lined up to mock the image, inadvertently sending it viral and ensuring it was seen by a wider audience."https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/aug/01/revealed-johnson-allys-firm-secretly-ran-facebook-propaganda-network #BrandTophamGuerinSeanTopham and #BrandTophamGuerinBenGuerin #EpistemologyAmateurShittyMemes

#NewspaperUKBrdshtTheTelegraphEdwardMalnick "The advertising boycott of GB News shows Britain can no longer take basic democratic values for granted, the Culture Secretary has warned.
Writing for The Telegraph, Oliver Dowden said a 'vocal Twitter minority' was targeting the 'free and diverse media' and the 'right to dissent'.
The Cabinet minister pledged: 'We will not stand by and allow that to happen.'
In an escalation of the Government's so-called 'war on woke', Mr Dowden insisted the fledgling centre-Right broadcaster is right to seek to 'empower' viewers who feel that their 'concerns have been unheard'.
His intervention came after several companies withdrew advertising from GB News in its first week on air in the face of a 'stop funding hate' campaign.
Mr Dowden said: 'When he launched the channel, veteran broadcaster Andrew Neil vowed that GB News would not be 'an echo chamber for the metropolitan mindset', and that it would 'empower those who feel their concerns have been unheard'.
'Rightly so. A free media is one that has a diverse range of opinions and voices.'
Mr Dowden identified the protection of journalism and political opinions as 'the grounds of a functioning democracy', adding: 'Sadly, we can no longer take them for granted.
'Across the West, our values of tolerance and freedom of expression, for which previous generations have fought and died, increasingly risk being undermined by a small but vocal minority. For them, these are not absolute, but relative, concepts, ready to be bent to silence dissent from their world view.'
In an interview with The Telegraph, Frank Luntz, the veteran US pollster behind use of 'climate change' instead of 'global warming' said he fears 'capitalism' is becoming a 'bad word' in Britain, and said he is seeking an alternative to the word." https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2021/06/19/exclusive-gb-news-boycott-shows-cant-take-democratic-values/
