Caught a conversation on the radio this morning about it, hadn't a clue what the fuck they were on about, I just assumed Alan Johnson was Johnson from Peep show

Having Mr Chow on this is as random as having Jo Brand judging diving on ITV

He's on the American version.

We really need to stop trying to rehash American telly like this. It's not suited to Britons. Lip sync battle was the worst.

Makes sense.

And agreed. Lip Sync Battle was/is the worst. As shit as the concept is, the US one at least has some A-list celebrities doing it. The UK get dregs like Jason Manford

Fresh Cambridge Analytica leak 'shows global manipulation is out of control'

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2020..._clipboard

An explosive leak of tens of thousands of documents from the defunct data firm Cambridge Analytica is set to expose the inner workings of the company that collapsed after the Observer revealed it had misappropriated 87 million Facebook profiles.

More than 100,000 documents relating to work in 68 countries that will lay bare the global infrastructure of an operation used to manipulate voters on “an industrial scale” are set to be released over the next months.

It comes as Christopher Steele, the ex-head of MI6's Russia desk and the intelligence expert behind the so-called “Steele dossier” into Trump's relationship with Russia, said that while the company had closed down, the failure to properly punish bad actors meant that the prospects for manipulation of the US election this year were even worse.

Who'd have thought when Tom added us on MySpace and we were picking songs for our Bebo page that it would ultimately lead to rightwing global voter manipulation. We seem to have really ramped up the dystopia in the new year; there's a heavy last days of Rome vibe imo.
