It's not their fault.
Tories have put advertising above the law.

How on earth?
Exactly the same trick as #Brexit.
Tories promised one thing. And once in control, all the promises vanished.
In late 90s/00s the Regulator complained their investigations took months. But campaigns took weeks.
They were getting the blame for political lies.

NB
I'm summarising - there are 2 regulators, not 1, it's not relevant.
Most of the frustration had been kicked up in a 1999 ⏬ Report into Political funding.
Regardless by 2003 sufficient steam was building up to "deregulate politics"

In 2003/4 the main parties came together to agree a solution.
Meetings were secret. We know lab and con disagreed but beyond that, we have only the outcomes⏬.
Mostly reasonable. Except no 4, "Free from normal honesty and truthfulness tests".
Yes.
They legalised #lies.

Not good, but limited.
TV controlled
Press? Editorial was the lie machine.
Outdoor - tactical, despite Saatchi.
Except. No one had predicted the next big thing.
DIGITIAL
It could have been solved in the 2010 digital advertising review.
But Mr #CorruptTory was back in power.

And the rest of the story is history. You all remember this right?⏬
Mr #CorruptTory resisted every attempt to regulate Digitial Advertising.
What did Mr Cummings announce today?
"A primarily DIGITAL campaign".
And how much did he suffer due to 2016…
Oh. He was rewarded.
