At a time when the rule of law is under global attack, those electronic books people have made the Sunday Times bestseller #FakeLaw a Kindle Monthly Deal, a stonking 99p.
Those in power misrepresent the law to advance their own agendas.
Don’t let them lie to you.

I managed to delete all my Meta accounts yesterday.
I am told that the 30 day irretrievable deletion never occurs and the accounts remain dormant forever...?

We don't defeat populists by calling out their lies. We tried that. Facts are complicated, and the audience for populism wants simplicity. It won't work.
We defeat populists by enacting bold political ideas that improve lives for the disenfranchised, and make the world seem less grotesquely unfair.
