Social media 'distorts truth' says man who used bus covered in lies

SOCIAL media ‘distorts’ the truth, according to a man who duped millions of people with a big red bus covered in deliberate lies.

Michael Gove attacked users of Facebook and Twitter for ‘corrupting and distorting’ facts and did so with a straight face, it was confirmed.

Eyewitness Tom Logan said: “I just stood there watching him thinking, ‘is he out of his mind?’.

“Is he a bit like Gollum, with one half of his personality convincing the other half that he’s telling the truth?

“He does look a bit like Gollum, but I don’t think that’s it.

“I think he’s just a devious little shit.”

Friends have no idea how to comfort woman who doesn't drink


FRIENDS of a woman going through a personal crisis have no idea how to help her without using alcohol.

Emma Bradford’s friends said they would be forced to use cliches and platitudes but without wine, tequila, vodka or cider they would sound particularly hollow, pointless and stupid.

Long-time friend friend Sarah Thomas said: “It’s a bit like a crying baby that won’t take its bottle. What else are you supposed to do? Make tea? Is that a thing people do? And if so, why?”

Emma’s workmate Chloe Wright, added: “She keeps saying she wants to talk about her feelings but that sounds dull and I would very much like to get pissed.

“But I suppose I really should help Emma cope with this emotional pain. So how would one do that without alcohol?”

Sarah Thomas said: “I’ve heard that heroin can create a sort off woozy feeling where time slows down and nothing seems to matter anymore.

“We don’t want to hoodwink our friend into taking some heroin, but we also don’t want to be bored. It’s a tricky one.”
