Daily Mail so, probably not really.

Quite possible considering all the other st they've thrown at us recently.

If it involves Boris and Patel I'll believe it.

If, as the title reads, a person would get 14 years for embarrassing the government..... Then that would be i
I think 308 years for the lot of them, as they're all guilty of making themselves look completely stupid.


(Not good to lose the public interest test, though as ever the detail is important.)

So the media were muted by OFCOM, and now journalists face prison for exposing the government? To think we were scared of a Corbyn government

Is similar happening elsewhere in the world?
