Yeah, it would be fucking stupid, easily weaponised to persecute opponents and not achieve anything.
We finally have a shot at criminalising lying in politics…
And you can help.
I spoke at an event this week where the room voted almost unanimously that MPs & Lords must be covered by the new offence of Misleading the Public
Imagine if this went though
And this is where we need your help…

In Pakistan, the CIA went around door-to-door pretending to be giving polio vaccines, while secretly hunting for Osama bin Laden. The result was that real health care workers were ignored or even killed, and hundreds of people got polio, which had otherwise been nearly eradicated worldwide.
There is no level to which these heartless shit-for-brains won’t stoop to inflict cruelty and suffering.

Sure, this is so horrifying that it should trigger something between a fully armed tactical police response and a torch wielding mob, but have you considered that sometimes Bluesky can be a bit preachy?

In our conservative estimate, 41 percent of Grok’s images — or 1.8 million — were sexualized depictions of women. Separately, CCDH analyzed how many were sexualized images across genders and ages. Their findings: an estimated 3 million images, including more than 23,000 of children.

The way so much of bluesky, including and maybe especially Jewish social democrats, has adopted the religious aesthetics of Civil War abolitionist Christianity is absolutely fascinating

There you have it, the Board of Peace is nothing more than a corrupt real estate deal dressed up as diplomacy with the sole purpose of enriching Trump and his favoured cronies.
Trump makes concluding remarks. He says Gaza ceasefire push began because he is “a real estate person at heart, and it’s all about location, and I said, ‘look at this location, on the sea, look at this beautiful piece of property’”.
