It’s really simple…
- Cap all political donations
- Ban foreign donations
- Strict conflict‑of‑interest & anti‑corruption laws with penalties
- No titles, honours or peerages for donors
- No govt contracts for donors
- Publish every donation/lobby meeting
…that’ll do it.

So it seems like the least we can do is play some music and eat some authentic Sri Lankan snacks to help out.

I hope somebody will complain to IPSO about this (and the similar Express splash). If so this will be a very useful reference.
Lies, damned lies and the Telegraph. They posted CSJ figures using an outrageously false comparison of 2 cases. It claimed a benefits family were better off by £18k than a working household when the real figure was £16k worse off. The details benefitsinthefuture.com #benefits #budget

On every public policy committee I sat on - gambling, drugs, animal experiments, law of homicide and others - someone would ask ‘But what would the Daily Mail say about our recommendations?’ I now regret that we never gave the right answer. ‘We shouldn’t care.’

Serious question: would it be a terrible loss to print media to let the Telegraph close? Rather than have Rothermere expand his empire. Or overseas ownership?

In the mid 90's I was sat in a pub with friends discussing films. Flynn came up in the conversation and a little old lady sat near by piped up and said' He had a massive cock you know, like a babys arm holding an apple'
It killed the conversation stone dead.
