Re: Election day reporting restrictions?
I have a blog. Noone (well, almost) reads it.
If I were to blog something political today - for example, I could draw comparison between my local MP[1] quietly abusing his power to protect fraudsters against whom the SFO has a case and the Trump impeachment - where would I stand? I don't think I'd be at risk.
The Reg presumably falls somewhere between my blog and the BBC front page in terms of political/electoral sensitivity.
But anyway, aren't the restrictions more fine-grained than that. Do the restrictions cover any political story (in which case, how the **** do you draw a line?), or just information specific to the election? Things like real-time exit poll data would indeed be sensitive!
[1] Whoops, that's information that helps you identify me among Reg Commentards. Not so many of us in this constituency.
