Has that come from a LibDem site/advert or a rival group?
I heard him speaking on Sky about their manifesto but didn't hear him say anything about gender rights.

Looks like bollox - can't find any of that in their manifesto.
Wouldn't be surprised if there is some Tory lie bot behind it to sucker in the mugs.
it weirdly isn't mentioned in their online manifesto: https://www.libdems.org.uk/manifesto. i even dug deep into #19 Rights and Equality. Still no mention. baffling, especially since you've found the official version

i think we all need to step outside our echo chambers (myself for sure) and read published fact, rather than fabrication. this is the road that takes us closer to nazi germany back in the day... shameful whoever put that poster up to make anyone believe it.

I think it's an attempt to change the odds in seats where the lib dems are main threat to cons.
If this sort of stuff gets traction then yup think it could have an effect at the seat level, so worth being aware of.
The only disappointing thing is some folk will just accept it as truth without checking & vote accordingly.
Fair point. My only concern is Labour win. 2nd is that Reform get trashed. I would rather have a Tory than Reform. Now there''s a big statement given the Tory record.sionascaig wrote: ↑Mon Jun 10, 2024 4:54 pmI think it's an attempt to change the odds in seats where the lib dems are main threat to cons.

Exactly what I was thinking. What I post about Sunak is far worse, but at least it's true.sionascaig wrote: ↑Mon Jun 10, 2024 4:16 pmLooks like bollox - can't find any of that in their manifesto.

likewise - apologies also. it does however just show the way that this info war works in elections. you have to now TRIPLE check everything. that may or may not be a good thing of course as most of us simply want the top option from the menu...sionascaig wrote: ↑Tue Jun 11, 2024 8:48 amJapers...

Yup, and of course the conservatives have also "promised" to simplify the gender recognition process but aren't stupid enough to broadcast it given the shambles it created in Scotland.jimibt wrote: ↑Tue Jun 11, 2024 9:20 amlikewise - apologies also. it does however just show the way that this info war works in elections. you have to now TRIPLE check everything. that may or may not be a good thing of course as most of us simply want the top option from the menu...sionascaig wrote: ↑Tue Jun 11, 2024 8:48 amJapers...
