I'm confused. Were the leaked documents actually leaked documents or fake?

Reddit protecting the government by aiding them in keep secrets from the people in the lead up to an election seems kind of ... Sinister? Even if it were russian bots that exposed the documents.

Is that what was happening? It's all very vague.

The authenticity of the documents hasn't been questions AFAIK, they're just old and supposedly out of date. There's just a certain irony that after 3 years of blaming Russia for Brexit, without much evidence mind, it now seems that Russia is doing its best to back the only party who have a chance of stopping Brexit.

Quite worrying Russia was able to get their hands on these documents though as they were supposed to have been classified.

Interesting...

Would be super interesting if Scotland was independent and NI returned back to the Republic of Ireland. What the hell would England and Wales call themselves?

England. As i understand it, probably improperly, Wales is more like a subkingdom of England, whereas Scotland is a separate kingdom that currently shares a monarch.

As I recall it was a Scottish King James that united the kingdoms of Scotland and England, whereas Wales was more sort of just territorially occupied?

Would guess the Kingdom of England and Wales would be the official name. Charles needs to rule something, after all.

Apparently BoJo says the the leaked documents (that show more of the NHS is offered to sale to the US) are damaging and need to have the source tracked.

Sounds like the leaks are genuine leaks then ... and an inconvenient truth for a habitual liar.

Trump, surprisingly, wasn't lying when he said nothing was off the table, including the NHS.

Don't even know why I read this thread. People are uneducated, they should read more history books.

When you have a population that is on the whole unread and uneducated, you end up with stuff like BREXIT, you end up with hard right international networks fooling people using digital propaganda techniques, you end up with antifascists being labelled fascists, you end up with climate change denial and eventually you'll end up with a pan-world hard right alliance whom will cull as their solution to the climate and ecological emergency.

The end.
