    The EU Troll patrol

    EU to set up euro-election 'troll patrol' to tackle Eurosceptic surge - Telegraph


    The Daily Telegraph has seen confidential spending proposals and internal documents planning an unprecedented propaganda blitz ahead of and during European elections in June 2014.

    Key to a new strategy will be "public opinion monitoring tools" to "identify at an early stage whether debates of political nature among followers in social media and blogs have the potential to attract media and citizens' interest".

    Spending on "qualitative media analysis" is to be increased by £1.7 million and while most of the money is to be found in existing budgets an additional £787,000 will be need to be raised next year despite calls for EU spending to reflect national austerity.

    "Particular attention needs to be paid to the countries that have experienced a surge in Euroscepticism," said a confidential document agreed last year.

    "Parliament's institutional communicators must have the ability to monitor public conversation and sentiment on the ground and in real time, to understand 'trending topics' and have the capacity to react quickly, in a targeted and relevant manner, to join in and influence the conversation, for example, by providing facts and figures to deconstructing myths
    If the EU is paying Darmstadt and PeterGriffen to troll this website then I'd want my money back if I were a Commisioner!

      Europe's a great place. It's just this stupid EU government that's getting in the way.

              I wouldn't know I wasn't alive.

              All I know is the more migrants we have from the EU in London the more the food changes in the supermarkets and shops.

              (I was going to give you an example but it's too rude.)
