>Vincent Tchenguiz and Cambridge Analytica
>For almost a decade the largest shareholder in SCL Group β the company that created Cambridge Analytica β was Vincent Tchenguiz. (As in βGhengisβ: his father, the head of the Iranian mint, changed the family name to the Persian for the Mongol warlord.) Tchenguiz, a whip smart bon vivant born in Iran of Jewish-Iraqi descent, has been described by Bloomberg as βthe UKβs biggest private owner of residential real estateβ. (He made headlines in January for reportedly forcing leaseholders to pay to replace Grenfell Tower-style cladding in a building owned by one of his companies.)
>In 2005 Tchenguiz bought a 24% stake in SCL Group via his company Consensus Business Group. SCL boasts on its website of offering βdata, analytics and strategy to governments and military organizationsβ in over 60 countries and has links to the heart of the Tory party, British royal family and the British military. SCLβs shareholders and officers have given more than Β£700,000 to the Conservatives since 2015. It was also the company that, around 2013, created Cambridge Analytica to work on US political campaigns.

> Vincent Tchenguiz, who was the single largest SCL shareholder for a decade, owning 23% from 2005β2015, recently placed a cash bet on far-right Front Nationalβs Marine Le Pen to win the upcoming French presidential election. This is the second large bet on a presidency for Tchenguiz in the last few months, as he scored an Β£850,000 profit when Trump was elected with help from SCLβs Cambridge Analytica.
>There is no evidence of CA/SCL directly working for the Russia-funded Le Pen campaign β though her politically active niece did publicly accept some sort of invitation from Trump chief strategist / former CA VP Steve Bannon, possibly in relation to Breitbartβs delayed France bureau β but Tchenguizβs habit of presidential betting is
... keep reading on reddit β‘I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
Do your worst!
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies π
It really does, I swear!
Theyβre on standbi
Because she wanted to see the task manager.
Pilot on me!!
Nothing, he was gladiator.
Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
When I got home, they were still there.

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.
Daughter: I'm hungry
Me: nerves building, smile widening
Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.
She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.
Thank you all for listening.
