   You included Guccifer 2 in the screenshot. This is NOT fake news as I am sure the CIA etc will tell you. A message to everyone pushing the fake news meme. You better get your lists right. Yes, there exist some sites that push objectively fa

   I really hope that each disputed link is given a comprehensive response and not a cookie cutter response. I think a template response is probably the most likely outcome, especially considering the number of articles that are going to be ch

   Ah bugger my bad, missed that. I hope the analysis also identifies the organisation/s who provided it.

   Still think this is a horrible move for a variety of reasons but I have one big question. Where can I access the reasons and organisation who have disputed the link? Without this information, this is even more terrible than I had previously

   Agree with the last two points. The first however is an understatement. Outside London ( and commute belt ), £1m buys you a seriously luxurious house. Even in major, desirable cities like Edinburgh, £1m buys you a 6 bed, granite, Georgian t

   From my analysis of London super prime ( I use two groupings £5-10m, £10m+ ), it appears that there is such a disconnect between this group and the "normal" London housing market, that they may as well be different countries. In s

    "Fake news" is a shitty meme that needs to stop. If the media truly suggests they be accountable for what they peddle, they will be in for a big surprise. We are witnessing a mortally wounded animal frantically flailing in a prima

    The last year of news has pushed me more than ever to read/listen to primary sources. Things have become so distorted left or right, that it seems like the responsible thing to do. Regarding the attacks towards Steve Bannon, I agree. T

    I certainly think they make plans thinking it will help. Whether or not their plans are any good, especially in regard to supreme complexity, is my point. I have serious reservations.
