🗞💔 Thread. Intro
Newspapers have distorted democracy by an order of magnitude larger than estimated.
A scam on 6 million leavers just fell into my lap.
There can be no doubt they were improperly influenced.
And in #Ge19 it's still going on

To save reading that thread I've attached the important thing - graph below.
I had intended to tweet about how few of these Brexiter desires were resolved leaving the EU
But then I noticed the 30% in Incandescent (INC) light bulbs. WTF.
6 million people scaled up

Who likes INC light bulbs? It's like wanting radium moisturiser
Just cost. Look at this over a few years. You save £thousands with Fluorescents (CFLs). Even more with LEDs.
And they pay back quickly. You're quids in with CFL in 6 months.

You oddly dismiss cost.
OK. what about risk?
Leavers on average older.
Home falls are the 2nd most common non-medical reason for reduced life expectancy after poor heating.
No one wants older people balancing on chairs 3x a year instead of once every 10 years

The advantages go on. Cost, risk, emissions, colour, size, shape, heat, variability.
You're yawning.
See the weirdness. Why incandescent lightbulbs. You'd have to be sociopathic.
You Gov mistake?
Projection was wrong?
Nope. It checked out.

Once you eliminate the impossible...
6m people with major good for the world lightbulb anger.
Too many for mass hypnosis, but too few for official Gov advice. No salmonella 🚬 🔫 to see.
Rechecked YouGov
Speculate. What if 10x wrong?
It still can't be right.

Luckily, Twitter being Twitter, @DW_work1 turned up mid bulb obsession and thank goodness.
Because thanks to DW, serendipity had solved something I'd wanted to have data on for years.
EVERYONE knows media libelled the EU
No one 𝗞𝗻𝗼𝘄𝘀 the magnitude.

Other tabloids did bulbs in 2009, but the Sun isolated it for Brexit.
The lies, so obscure.
And hence so helpful. At last a way to measure effect of EU libel.
YouGov survey meets isolated Sun lie = Magnitude
Euromyths - a bit of British fun right?
So much more.

For the record.
Lght sensitive epilepsy affects 0.03% of UK.
%ges hide how many
That's 20,000 people
LOW frequency light is most problematic for them
Guess what
LOWEST - INC bulbs 50-60 Hz
CFL 50- 30,000Hz
LED millions Hz

We don't have a name for that sort of malpractice.
A national paper
Invents a story
Which reverses the facts
of a serious health condition
Putting the lives of 20,000 people at risk.
How many exposed to extra risk in the homes of the 6 million?
Is this a crime?

The attribution to the EU was also a lie. INC bulb laws weren't imposed on member states.
The EU was instructed by us to adopt an international standard at the same time as many other countries including the US.
Journalism? No. This is now something else.

25% of us trust Journalists to tell the truth.
Unfair. Cynicism comes with the job. And too many Prima Donas. But so does social conscience, tenacity, brilliance.
They must comply with editorial policy but even at The Sun few would willingly besmirch their byline.

While there are few laws governing journalism, this would be a breach of the NUJ code of conduct. Bad
There's one way I've seen this happen. When Editors put the pressure on. And that rarely happens unless owners directly interfere
Surely impossible at The Sun? 😉

We will find "who" but for the GE we need only "what"
Journalism or Advertising?
A fabrication has no public interest.
If it endangers chronic victims, it's grossly negligent.
It it's a lie planted to influence and 6 MILLION are persuaded?
I can't see journalism.

It could be opinion, but then it would have had to be marked as such. It wasn't.
As formal political advertising even the lies would be fine*. But that needs marks and campaign accounting
(*Aside but yes, any lie is legal for politicians

So patient reader. The only way I can classify "what" is as undeclared political advertising. And even for newspapers, that breaks electoral law.
This is about the Sun, and sadly anyone with epilepsy who was harmed. But not in isolation
The implications are bigger.

Check Euromyths
Bulbs - 1 of 100s
If advertising can be planted as editorial to influence votes then what cost?
In the jargon EMV - what would you pay if you bought it legit?
We worried about £100k of illegal EU16 spend
For the Euromyths?
£100s of millions in value

I'm just a twitter handle.
You are public opinion and resistance.
I can tell you #ToriesOutDecember2019 enables #levenson2 to end this.
But i need you to make that happen by sharing and campaigning.
#Brexit is just the tip. The iceberg is laughing in his tax haven.

Beyond Levenson, I didn't mention consequence or prosecution.
That must come. But like South Africa. Maybe we take back control of our Democracy before we attempt Truth and Justice?
Just hinting. Don't waste recovery pursuing revenge
