We gained more fascism.
- Channel 4 heavily criticised the PM and pulled an ice-statue-replacement stunt after he failed to show for an interview, so they're being sold off.
- Johnson wants to strip electoral watchdog of prosecution powers
- Threatening to reduce the power of the Supreme Court
- Department of Education strongly encouraged schools to make children sing a One Britain, One Nation song (it's as bad as it sounds)
- Heavily trying to push through a Bill to ban protest, including single-person "protests"
- Government often completely bypasses Parliament, by making announcements outside of Parliament, much to the chagrin of the Speaker. This is weird as they have a whopping majority, so it's very deliberate what they're doing.
- Gov is looking at withdrawing from European Convention on Human Rights
- Priti Patel
- Taking control of BBC with cronies in top jobs
- Requiring ID for voting (blatant voter suppression). We do not have a fraud problem.
I could go on...

- stavros 5y agoNo, sorry, you don't get to invoke "comparison to Nazis" every time someone mentions the word "fascism". Stop shutting down debate with bullshit conversation-stoppers, the GP made a valid point.
- JamesDeepDown 5y agoHe literally compared the UK to a fascist state, and you're attacking me for calling him out on it?
- stavros 5y agoHe said "we gained more fascism", he didn't compare the UK to anything, and Godwin's law is specifically about mentioning Nazis, so I'm chastising you for being offtopic.
