I have to assume that Farage was careful enough to keep his payments form the Kremlin disguised through a Swiss Account?
 
You're such a cynic. NATO is more of a threat to Russia than the EU will ever be and there's never been any suggestion of the UK leaving that. There's more chance that a future Trump administration would leave NATO.

Well, I don’t know about your own particular ideas, opinions and prejudices.

I consider it to be just a method of communication just like telephones, or highways, or letters in a letterbox.

They’re all just ways people use to communicate with each other.

How can one make generalisations about such broad media?
 
The same way that you seem to be able to make generalizations about people based on the broad generalizations you soak up from Twitter.
 
The National Westminster Bank was following the lead of this Canadian.

In answer to your post on Friday;
A telephone lets you make a phone call. Once the call is over, it is over. A road lets you make a journey, at the end of that journey the road does not try to make you go any further than you need to go. A letter arrives, you read it, reply to it, or store it or bin it, as you wish.
What makes social media differ from the above modes of communication is that the communication is not the principal purpose of the platform. It's purpose is to make money. That in itself is not a sin. To make itself profitable it is engineered to be addictive, just like a fruit machine. It is not the jackpot that makes the one armed bandit habit forming, it is the carefuly timed released of small enticements, the 20p prize, the near win sequence. Social media works the same way, small rewards designed to keep the user addicted. Most users only have a limited repertoire of subjects they can talk about , but they feel the need to keep on posting in order to satisfy the addiction. This means that once they run out of useful things to say they have to keep going by writing any old rubbish and reproducing other peoples messages. Those messages might be relevant or they may too be any old rubbish.
That's why I have zero love for twitter, but I am sure you will disagree and look forward to hearing you do so.

Oh -- I had figured you were referring to the entertainingly catastrophic decline of Twitter under you-know-who, not to the problems of social media more generally.
