Here’s the DWP’s ‘Universal Credit’ advertorial – and it’s worse than we expected

Look at the state of this.

It’s the controversial Metro advertorial extolling the alleged virtues of Universal Credit, written by Department for Work and Pensions spokespeople for the Conservative government and containing absolutely no journalistic integrity at all.

It has been widely criticised – to put it mildly:

Apparently the campaign to take Metro off newsstands and into skips hasn’t succeeded as well as some people wanted.

Complaints have been made to the Advertising Standards Authority and This Writer would certainly urge anybody who believes this advert was falsely presented as news, and/or who believes that it contains false information, to add their own complaint.

Have YOU donated to my crowdfunding appeal, raising funds to fight false libel claims by TV celebrities who should know better? These court cases cost a lot of money so every penny will help ensure that wealth doesn’t beat justice.

    If this is false News . Metro should advertise it on it’s Front Page. If not false news then this should be advertised on their front page saying it’s not False.
