Outlaw deliberately misleading or false propaganda.
There is no better time than now, in the wake of the EU referendum, to finally and urgently outlaw the most damaging type of false advertisement - false propaganda. It has meant that we have voted to leave the EU on the basis of arguments which are untrue.
For example the false claim that the UK gives £350m a week to the EU which could be spent on the NHS which was emblazoned on the 'leave' campaign's battle bus right up until the very end.
The fact that making a false claim about goods for sale is a punishable offence but making a false claim to manipulate decisions about the future of our nation goes without sanction is ludicrous and needs urgent parliamentary attention.
