All those worried about “ freedoms” perhaps you could turn some energy to the Crime and Policing Biil?

Facebook has cut off access to Facebook to the lead researcher on Facebook political ads. Because it can. It used the argument that it doesn’t want another Cambridge Analytica which is blood boiling given total lack of accountability& consequences for FB’s role in that

More here from @sarah_donaldson the @ObserverUK who edited & oversaw this incredibly difficult & legally contentious reporting into print:

Secondly, if you think any of the scandals we are currently seeing will ever be investigated, think again.

The Met’s special investigations unit is not fit for purpose. And the NCA is..well, who knows? @NCA_LynneOwens, you want to tell us what happened?

To our knowledge the police never even opened an investigation into this.

The other newspapers never picked it up. The BBC never reported it. Shahmir was smeared. The whole thing sank without trace.

But if Sunday Times is right, Cummings had good cause to be scared.

Why am I bringing this up now? For 2 reasons. We showed all the evidence to Gavin Millar QC before publication & he said: ‘Someone is going to jail & not for a short time’

It was evidence in his view of perversion of the course of justice

This is the deletion log from the drive. On March 1, 2017, the Electoral Commission opened investigation.

On March 17, Vote Leave deleted itself from 140 files which showed evidence of an electoral offence being committed

That evidence was passed to NCA. That’s separate agency than Met which investigates electoral offences - the old Special Branch dept that investigates politically sensitive crimes.

The Met shut down all investigations into Brexit-related crimes. The NCA never reported back

Why despair? Because @shahmiruk did forensic capture witnessed by lawyers of Vote Leave’s Google drive. That showed apparent deletion of key evidence by Vote Leave after Electoral Commission launched an investigation.

That’s not an electoral offence. It’s a serious crime.

I don’t know if this is true, but if it is, I truly despair.

Sunday Times reporting Cummings had long been ‘haunted by fear he could end up in prison: either over irregular spending during Brexit referendum or his conduct in govt’

The original in its full glory/horror. It’s a long time ago but the ideological core DNA remains the same.

And yes, it’s real.
