It seems like a pretty terrible idea. They tried to cram traditional formats into 10 minute blocks, there are two major problems that seem immediately obvious with this: 1. The content they produced is way too long to for the time period th

In this case the shop is full of security cameras and they've been watched by members of both parties as well as third parties. Once again if fraud had taken place there has been enough scrutiny to turn up more than a single dodgy mail

1. Is evidence that the mail man should be disciplined or fired, not of a mountain of fraud. 2. You've literally proved my point about ignoring any kind of context with this one. The title intentionally misrepresents what is happening

It's entirely honest. There are "mountains" of legitimately confirmed votes, proportionally there are only a tiny number of cases where something objectionable may or may not have happened. In your original post you intention

I guess the question then is should they have a legal obligation to the workers. Western companies make a big show of complying with regulations and higher standards of worker safety only to contract that work out to the lowest bidder, wher

You don't even need to look that far away, anyone you've interacted with in a bar or supermarket is most likely having their actions timed and watched by a security camera.
