^ I mean most of this is true, but how long has your media been writing stuff like this? I thought you had no idea that we ruled all the worlds banks and the only thing our miserable little island gives a shit about, is money.
Is this type of article typical or a new thing? Its not exactly the type of thing you write about your friends. :'(

You know that there is a reason that was written and published. It not for general knowledge of the readers, but to shape our opinion of what is going on.

Freedom of Press != Actually making sense || not being retarded.
That article is just trolling. Now watch as thousands of people post angry comments on their shitter feed, and post it over facebook with "OMG IM SO ANGRY @ DIS"
