Spain’s equality ministry has launched a creative summer campaign encouraging women of all shapes and sizes to hit the beach, with the slogan: “Summer is ours too.”The colourful campaign’s promotional image features five women of different body types, ages and ethnicities enjoying a day in the sun. “Summer is ours too,” it says. “Enjoy it how, where and with whomever you want.” The campaign also features a woman who has had a mastectomy topless.https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/jul/28/all-bodies-are-beach-bodies-spains-equality-ministry-launches-summer-campaign
Prof George Williams has called for “a narrowly drawn law
for truth in political advertising” and for “greater penalties, including
criminal sanctions, in extreme cases of flouting the law”.

Obey
the law; do not mislead or deceive; be fair; provide services that are fit for
purpose; deliver services with reasonable care and skill; and when acting for
another, act in the best interests of that other.
