It's almost a certainty that they aren't advertising "on CNBC". They will have provided ads to an advertising company, that in an astounding display of lack of self-awareness, has then published those ads on CNBC.

Either that, or it's the equivalent of those "we haven't heard from you in a while..." emails intended for the American businessmen who used to fund the IRA.


Thanks for reminding we have a plastic Paddy problem too. I haven't thought about that before on the advertising note. I thought it had to be intentional that such an ad would end up in the States. It has been really constant too. All day today out of the blue. At least the ads are getting some reaction even if not its intended audience.

There is an out of control trolley speeding towards Jeremy Bentham, who is tied to the track. You can pull the lever to cause the trolley to switch tracks, but on the other track is Immanuel Kant. Bentham is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Critique of Pure Reason. Kant is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Principles of Moral Legislation. Both men are shouting at you that they have recently started to reconsider their ethical stances.

You mean his writers. I guess our comedy writers are too busy writing comedies instead of reporting the news or working for politicians.

The EU referendum result is illegitimate, to paraphrase Pedro Sanchez, you cannot have a binary yes/no question to solve complex problems. Essentially, the masses get no overall say in the policy Brexit negotiation process deal or whatever the deal will be. The referendum was wholly undemocratic!

Sadiq Khan called moderate muslims "Uncle Toms." in 2009
News just broke.

That might be that.

Mr Khan has dismissed Tory attacks as baseless 'smears', and insisted that he was a moderate Muslim. But the fresh revelation appears to suggest that he views moderates with contempt.


He's a crypto Islamist, and it confirms that Islamists actively try to infiltrate administrations while pretending to be moderate.

When he says this while talking to Islamic tv stations, it does make it questionable whether it's a slip or not. When he talks to muslims, he uses derogatory terms about moderate muslims.
