Coronavirus update - NO MORE RESTRICTIONS

Remember when they spent £200k on this campaign?

What do you call an advert dressed as a 4-page investigative report about Universal Credit? Lies and #fakenews. DWP have no shame.

I certainly wasn't trying to defend the government, it was just that I had that Private Eye article to hand so I felt able to answer TOBW's question. I thought the headline of the article EC put up was a bit misleading and the use of 'appears' three words into it probably wasn't the best way to back it up. He's got a masters in journalism though so what do I know?

Private Eye were completely cynical about the government campaign and, I'm sure, will have more to say about it next time round. They do that kind of stuff really well, there's no need to sex it up.
