When do we cross the Gross Negligence line?
The casual hand waving at experts?
The arrogant shrug at scientists?
The use of Parliamentary Privilege to undermine analysis.

18 months ago we put together a list of #DeathByBrexit risks. Ignored and dismissed. 95% acurate.

The most serious issue of Brexit Accountability is the collaboration between press and politicians.
Supressing Yellowhammer only happens when Journalists call it it Project Fear. This must never happen again.
The no deal #death@@ list? 👇

How to deal with media corruption without supressing free speech?
Well one thing I know is the shrill for free speech did nothing to prevent the corruption of media through the brexit debacle. Our democracy was attacked not with their protection but with their assistance

I've seen a lot of those arguing for brexit say that we have a biased media.
And we do. In their favour.
Is it free speech when a billionaire offshore owner gets to write the headlines?

That explains why the lies told about EU so closely identified this group of papers as the cultprits.

Awfully.
Our foreign owned press, has concluded brexit is the most successful public project in history.
And, apparently, in this transition from responsibility to owner advertising, they have broken no laws?
These articles need "influenced by offshore owner" health warnings

There are organisations trying to resist this sort of corruption, such as the @mediareformUK
And there are best practices we can learn from other parts of the world. Our press have resisted true reform for years. Maybe it's time we started lending our help to the effort?
