Apparently the Govt is going to make it illegal to knowingly send false messages online.
In principle I do support this. But the lack of self awareness...from a Johnson government...

I should think it would be like Nadine Dorries saying the PM tells the truth, or 97% of tory MP’s back the PM

What’s the difference between a false message and a lie?

And once again, this is FAR more important than party politics. It's about honesty and decency in politics. It's about truth and trust.
This bas**rd is poisoning the well for everyone.

What happens if someone posts something online that they believe to be true then turns out to be false later.

I have always thought that if a statement or story is published and found to be a lie then the same column inches on the same pages should be used for the apology or retraction. Too often the apology is a few lines on an obscure page. Irrespective of how much coverage the original article got.

I was thinking more about stuff posted on forums like this one for example.

Same should apply hound.
Nothing wrong with apologising if you are wrong.
It's better than deflecting a thread or disappearing..

This new law, and any discussion around it, is a complete irrelevance given the world is going to end at 9.49pm this evening.

this fact used to be on wikipedia but has conveniently now been "cancelled"
Paul Chambers, 28, wrote the message in a moment of frustration when Robin Hood airport, in south Yorkshire, was closed because of heavy snow.
Chambers was later found guilty of sending a menacing tweet but had the conviction quashed in the High Court in London on Friday.
The Observer reported today that crown prosecution service (CPS) lawyers told Chambers they saw no public interest in opposing his appeal, but Starmer allegedly overruled them at the last minute.

My daughter worked at two airports and staff were always told they had to ask if there was anything dangerous or suspicious in their luggage. They were also told to tell them that only joking still meant a full luggage check of all the party if they answered incorrectly.
They still had one or two groups of lads on a stag do or weekend away causing delays by being stupid. Imagine if somebody was let on a plane after admitting they had something in the luggage and not being stopped?
