Spread this like wildfire. Just a collection of tweets and images from #toriesoutnow. We are facing a media blackout of this at the moment so let people know.

Even twitter has joined in the censorship the hash tag #ToriesOutNow has been trending for hours but has been removed from the front page and replaced by #londonprotest which is effectively stripping away the political message behind these protests and diminishing the efforts.

“On the day before the 1996 presidential election, thousands of Americans waited anxiously to hear if Sen. Bob Dole had bumped President Bill Clinton from his seat.”

Mathematics professor Jeremiah Farrell created this ingenious puzzle to appear in the New York Times on November 5th, 1996, before the presidential election had run its course. Farrell specifically chose the surrounding clues with double meanings in order to allow both BOBDOLE and CLINTON to be correct answers, accurately announcing the election results.
