Activists call for Metro apology over universal credit adverts
Focus on equal access to assisted death rather than risks of legalisation for oppressed groups wrongheaded, MPs and campaigners say
DISABLED activists called on the Metro newspaper to apologise today after they said it knowingly printed “snidey government propaganda.”
It comes after the seventh instalment of pro-universal credit advertorials, created by the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) and published in the Metro, appear to have stopped early.
In a leaked memo, sent out by the government’s universal credit “change director” Neil Couling in May, it was revealed that authorities planned to launch a propaganda campaign dubbed “UC Uncovered” in the Metro newspaper.
