That is a truly excellent joke. I will remember that

How would that number change if all those people had access to independent reporting?

Depends how old you get. After 30 years some games just don’t work like they used to!

Thankfully we do have modern solutions for old fashioned problems now.

I organise my work so I earn enough on the weeks I work that I can take time off. Same as an employee in effect.

Of course, not everyone can do that. If their self employment doesn’t allow them to save.

Fair, I’m not convinced I do need that layer.

I guess if people are into films as a topic, or even a specific film, then that’d be interesting.

Not for me.

I never cared for “extras” anyway.

Just let me enjoy the film.

Remember, if your photoprism lasts more than 4 hours, consult a medical professional

The title of their manifesto!

I have SMBsync2 copy over any photos older than 30 days to a location on my local network.

Its free, doesn’t run in the background and requires very little setup

I’d take a PIA for $2 per month

Make the case?

I’m not campaigning.

Its art, make of it whatever you wish!

Seems this time we’ll likely evade the resident weevil

Where can you see lions… Only in Kenya!

Well, if he’s going to walk about all the time without trousers, what does he expect?

That’s the really stupid part of all this.

Small amount of money massive personal and political consequences. Hilariously stupid.

Detail counts!

Its a simple law. If your party has received evidence that your clai is false. You must stop using it or face legal punishment.

Let us reflect on how parties might react to this and how a simple law might not achieve your aims.

Another wrinkle is deciding who is going to police this, who is the arbiter of truths and lies?

In almost every case I can think of, political parties already avoid lying.

With statistics they can find the right one to backup their point and ignore the other study which contradicts them. They offer opinions, points of view, oversimplificatios and predictions.

None of these are lies. Manipulation of the same family certainly. It was true that we sent £350 million per week to the EU, except it really wasn’t and yet if you offered evidence that it was a lie it’d be easy to produce evidence that it wasn’t. Truth is complex.

Add to this we have a mechanism built into democracy that is intended to punish parties who lie or otherwise behave this way, its the voters. For this to work we need an informed and aware population to vote in elections, your post suggests you don’t see the voters as capable of this?

To achieve an informed electorate who understands complexity and nuance getting out of the simple mindset of right and wrong is needed, away from simple truths and lies.

In short… “Examine a law not for the good it will do if correctly applied but for the harm it will cause if incorrectly applied”

Reform most likely, possibly for the Tories.

It’s going to be funny either way I’m sure.

I wonder if tasker could do it… 🤔

And there it is.

They were waiting for this one with much anticipation.

It’s a small group of voters who this represents, but they’re important voters, they’re swing voters.
