So how do you build a framework to make lying illegal. The harm done by lies like this is to mildly increase separatist sentiment which likely as a mildly negative affect on investment and no way of demonstrating damages or people harmed by the action.
Instead damages only occur after the thing you want to prevent happened at which time holding those people to account is rather immaterial to the #### storm created. Civil or criminal cases against Farage doesn’t undo the damage of Brexit.
So how to you make intentionally bad speculation illegal. We do it in company reporting so could you hold individuals liable for false forward looking statements. It seems like an impossible task when even obvious crypto and penny stock pump and dumps go unchallenged.
