So-called democracy is a sham in the U.K. - as you quite rightly say, largely due to the huge imbalance between the right-wing media and anything resembling an alternative point of view. The BBC is hardly better - most journalists seem happy to repeat right-wing tropes from the usual suspects and show little in the way of meaningful balance and analysis.
Having said that, keep shining a light on this - over one million people work in the NHS and their lived experiences are certainly not the ridiculous lies peddled by the likes of The Sun.
This government’s willingness to see the armed forces as the solution to all problems is worthy of the worst-run and most corrupt failed states.
But, propaganda, however pervasive, ultimately fails when it descends into self-parody. I think we’re pretty close to the wizard’s curtain being torn down. I certainly hope so.
Merry Christmas and a happy New Year to you and your family.
Here’s to a revolutionary 2023, in all the most positive of ways!
Well said Mic!
