Conservatives are losing out on social media because supporters feel unable to share their views without attracting abuse, the Conservatives’ new party chairman has said.
Brandon Lewis said his party’s supporters found it difficult to conduct debates online but said his focus over the past few months had been how to gain ground on social media, where he admitted Labour had the upper hand at the last election.
“If you look at what happens on social media, if somebody on the right or the centre puts out a message, the attack from the hard left is sometimes unbelievably abusive and vitriolic,” the MP told the House magazine. “For some people, if they suddenly get attacked by a huge number of hard-left people they’ve never met, that can put them off.”
Bless their little cotton snowflake socks.
Of course, what he really meant was this.....
These days it is damned near impossible to keep the raw bloody reality of our policies from being splashed all over social media. We used to be able to greatly influence the electorate through our mates in the press, such as the Scum, Torygraph, Princess and Fail. Sadly, only sad old bastards with no life still believe the biased shite they pump out, the young get their facts elsewhere.
Every time we U-turn, or Treeza fucks up another Brexit decision (who the fuck voted for that anyway), or Boris condemns another poor woman to jail in Egypt we get crucified on Facebook. It is making us look like complete dicks.
Our strong and stable government is being ridiculed. They even claim that we are trying to sell off the NHS.
It's so unfair. We were sworn to secrecy !!!
