Its a victory for reality and a defeat for the mobile phone

Blaming the young is such a tory thing to do, are you sure you voted SNP? Because you seem to be defending the tories a lot. Maybe you're more blue than yellow, deep down.

I don't see any blame in LT's comment?

That’s because you’re choosing to ignore it.

It's the ol' boomer 'They should have done more then play on their phones all day!' mentality. It's belittling and it reeks of tory-ness.

No one is blaming them if you read what i posted, they were let down by social media and that was an area that Labour targetted and blaming the young is not "a tory thing to do" where do you get these things from?

Of course it is, you always get the boomer tories demonising the younger people because they know their bull**** has increasingly less sway with generations born during and after the 90's.

It's funny, we should technically be on the same side at this point, I want the SNP to thrive and get Scotland it's independence and you supposedly being an SNP voter should want the same but you're going into overdrive defending the tories at every opportunity.

Polls were also on twitter and social media, no one seriously thought labour had a chance of winning but a hung parliament was deemed as in play by all sides right up until to exit polls were released.

I think you have missed the point about social media and the role of that with young voters.

It didn't even seem like that, he didn't say they should have done more? He commented on the effect of social media distorting people's views. Just like the tabloid's affect people's views.

If you have to pick at people's grammar as your leading line that that speaks volumes about how poor your leading argument is.

You have to jump through loops and pretend not to see the subtext to come to your conclusion, in life, the simpler solution is often the correct one.

No, I see it clearly. You're just trying to rag on the younger people as per usual.

You're the one jumping through hoops, to see subtext which isn't there. The simple solution is he meant what he said.

What you're choosing to see and what is actually there are two different things, Ollie.

Et tu.

There's no reason to look further into LT's comment, I think we know him well enough to know that if he thought "young people should put their phones down and actually do something", he would not mince his words

social media doesn't necessarily be only for the young voters though

Quite right Nicky

[LeatherTrumpet]

I agree with Piers who said "Twitter had another bad election last night" Twitter is a terrible conduit for fake news and trolling abuse. Its a young person medium

40% of U.S. adults who use Twitter are aged between 18 and 29 years

Oh I don't know about that.
I think our Trumpet can be pretty stealthy with his words when he wants to.
Imagine my shock when I discovered he is an SNP voter! Would you guess it from his posts? I wouldn't.
