The Daily Mail’s parent company has successfully invoked the Human Rights Act to stop other media outlets naming Mail journalists in a phone hacking court case - DESPITE using its editorials to campaign AGAINST the Human Rights Act for several decades!

theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/m…
The divisive toxic shit-spouting far-right little-Englander Mail has been a cancer on Britain for more than a century.

#EnoughIsEnough

For everyone's sake, it's time for the UK's opposition parties to stand up & collectively commit to #Leveson2

Nothing has changed in the UK's toxic divisive self-serving tax-avoiding billionaire-owned newspapers for a century.

Britain desperately & urgently needs #Leveson2.

The ENTIRE UK press & media, along with every #TuftonStreet think tank, has seized on a survey showing 'falling satisfaction' with the #NHS.

They ALL selectively avoid foregrounding the FACT the public shows VERY STRONG SUPPORT for the principles underpinning OUR #NHS. ImageImageImage
The ghouls pushing for private health insurance ignore that the overwhelming majority of respondents agreed that the founding principles of OUR #NHS should ‘definitely’ or ‘probably’ apply - 9 in 10 backed the principle that OUR #NHS should be free of charge when you need it. Image
The ideologically extreme free market fundamentalist ghouls within & outside Government also ignored the FACT that MORE THAN 8 in 10 respondents supported the principles that OUR #NHS should be available to everyone & primarily be funded THROUGH TAXES - NOT private healthcare. Image

Emily Carver is an ideological extremist from Conservative Home, who works for the opaquely funded free-market #IEA, & represents the interests of fossil fuel corporations & rich libertarians who want to kill the #NHS & remove worker & environmental protections.
#PoliticsLive ImageImageImage
The @BBC gives their influential platform to the opaquely funded free-market corporate propagandists, the #IEA, which represents the interests of overseas billionaires, & pushes for lowering taxes, & abolishing the #NHS & worker, consumer & environmental protections.
#PolitcsLive Image
Ideological extremist Emily Carver moved seamlessly from the #IEA to Conservative Home last year. It doesn't really matter - the global network representing billionaire-interests includes the billionaire-owned/funded press/media, Govt Ministers, & #TuftonStreet 'think tanks'. ImageImage

Online targeted political advertising is a problem - it leverages an information asymmetry between advertiser & recipient: “those holding the data know a lot about individuals, while people don’t know what the data practitioners know about them”.
journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11…
Policymakers in the EU & US aim to decrease this asymmetry by requiring information transparency information alongside political advertisements, in the hope of activating & increasing citizens’ 'persuasion knowledge'.
However, the proposed regulations all present different directions with regard to the required content of transparency information. Consequently, not all proposed interventions will be (equally) effective.

The Anti-social Behaviour, Crime & Policing Act (2014) provides the most recent policy definition for antisocial behaviour: conduct likely to cause harassment, alarm, distress, nuisance or annoyance.

But what SPECIFIC behaviours are 'antisocial'?

theconversation.com/what-is-antiso…
Legal definitions & government documentation often leave out a specific list of 'antisocial' behaviours

The current Govt proposal does not have a specific list of behaviours either, although Sunak referred to vandalism & broadly, behaviour that “disrupts people’s daily lives”.
It was first introduced into government policy in the 1990s by Blair’s New Labour, broadly defined as 'behaviour that causes nuisance, annoyance, alarm or distress'. But even the Blair government’s own policy documents had conflicting definitions.

Ideologically extreme MPs on the far-right of the Tory party, led by Bill Cash & Danny Kruger, have proposed a series of amendments to the Immigration Bill intended to reduce the legal avenues for asylum seekers & refugees who face being deported.
theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/m… Image
In a very crowded field of Brextremist Tory MPs, 82-year-old Bill Cash is described by Ken Clarke as THE most "Eurosceptic", who was the leader of the Eurosceptics during the Maastricht Rebellion of the early 1990s, reaching its height in 1993.
Hardline Eurosceptic Tory MPs refused to support the government of John Major in votes on the implementation of the Maastricht Treaty (Treaty on European Union) in British law. Major's party had a small majority, giving the relatively small number of extremists great influence.

🚨Rishi Sunak & Suella Braverman have been heckled & told to “go away” during a short walkabout in an Essex town centre.

The pair of ideological extremists started walking down Chelmsford high St just before 9am, joined by three local police officers.

independent.co.uk/news/uk/suella…
The street was quiet & they did not stop to chat to any of the small number of people out & about or go into any shops.

One woman shouted “allow migrants into our country” & “refugees should be allowed in Britain”.

The officer walking alongside Braverman turned his head towards the shouting woman but the Home Secretary did not react.

Shouting at Sunak & Braverman, the woman added: “Go away. We don’t want you here.”
