'The Telegraph has been fined £30,000 for sending hundreds of thousands of emails on the day of the general election urging readers to vote Conservative.

In what he described as an “unprecedented step”, Daily Telegraph editor Chris Evans asked readers to back the Tories in a letter added to its daily email.

But data protection watchdog the Information Commissioner’s Office found the newspaper’s parent company, Telegraph Media Group, broke direct marketing rules.


The watchdog said subscribers might have signed up to receive a daily email, but promoting the Tory election campaign “crossed a line”.

“People may well perceive the paper’s editorial content to have a political bias, but when the Telegraph emailed people directly calling them to vote for a political party they crossed a line,” said Steve Eckersley, head of enforcement at the ICO.

In his letter, Evans described the 7 May general election as “the most important since 1979” and urged Telegraph readers to vote Conservative.'

Torygraph, confirmation of a right wing media.

I disagree with the original post. David Cameron is doing a great job of putting the GREAT back in to Great Britain. He is our most popular PM in over a decade.

How, exactly? I mean sweeping statements are lovely and everything but you could really do to elaborate, at least a little.

'The Department for Work and Pensions has admitted that people will see cash losses to their in-work benefits under the new universal credit system and suggested they could make up for it by working an extra 200 hours a year.

In a new document on universal credit, published after parliament has broken up for Christmas, the department said people could “recoup the loss” caused by lower in-work benefits from April 2016 by taking on an extra three or four hours of work a week at the new “national living wage” of £7.20 an hour.'

It's utterly bewildering that they think you can just "work more hours" and get paid for them like it's a choice. You get a job with contracted hours... You get paid for those hours... Maybe get overtime if they NEED you to work more. Who can just stroll in and say "Hey I'm going to work an extra 4 hours a week so give me money please".

They are completely disconnected from the real world. Completely.
