“It’s subverting the will of the people to suggest the will of the people may have been subverted,” said Mr Con Jobb today, head of strategy for the Brexit focused charity F U EU.
Mr Con Jobb was talking after revelations broke in the media about the dealings of F U EU and a shadowy data mining company called Subvert Democracy.
”The dating app supplied to us from Subvert Democracy, and used by millions of facepamphlet users was an impressive and unseen way to harvest as much personal information as possible from as many emotionally vulnerable people as possible, to better manipulate voting intentions ahead of the EU referendum in 2016.”
But it’s said you broke data privacy laws in the process and may well have used the stolen data to unduly influence voters with emotional messages that had no relation to the facts of the matter being balloted?
”What’s your point?”
You’ve subverted democracy. It calls the validity of entire ballot into question.
”The people still had a vote. Just listen to any ageing male BBC political journalist. The people had a vote. They had a vote in America too. In many countries.”
So that’s okay then?
”It is if you’re a neocon sociopath intent on manufacturing a global economic disaster to deepen your political influence and get even richer.”
But you’ve subverted the will of the people.
”So?”
What do you mean so?
”You lost, get over it.”
Can you answer why it’s taken the Information Commissioner five days to get a warrant to search the headquarters of Subvert Democracy?
Is there any relation to the millions donated to the Conservative Party by the owners of Subvert Democracy?
”That sounds like a question better asked by the leader of the official opposition at PMQ’s.”
Fat chance of that.
”It’s useful, isn’t it. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got to get back to the office. I’ve been told the Information Commissioner is due to drop by at 16:34 this afternoon and I’ve still some computer servers to burn in the car park.”
Thank you for your time.
”The people had a vote.”
Thats what they do, it’s called democracy.
”Not anymore. Would you mind ducking down to the petrol station and filling up this empty can for me?”
