I heard an interview with Trump’s nephew, who was advocating that the left (Democrats) had to start playing dirty too, even if it goes against everything they believe in.

It’s a sad day when right minded politicians have to stoop to the level of the populist just to get heard.

The trouble is that all the news platforms are owned by billionaires who don’t give a shoot whether the news is real or fake.

I would prefer a concerted effort to educate people in critical thinking. Perhaps people will gradually become more internet-literate - able to assess the reliability of information sources.

It's grimly amusing how those people who are so gleeful & excited at the prospect of the future being a boot stamping on a human face forever, they never for a moment imagine it'll be their human face getting stamped on.

A worthy aim, but I suspect totally unrealistic as far as progress can be made for at least a generation,

In the meantime how do politicians with a working moral compass fight the success of populism.

Don't ape their initiatives for one.

Yes, even ultra loyal Parsons ended up in the cells of the ministry of love after being reported by his own daughter.

I know how bad it is. What's amusing is you lefty, liberals don't want to accept how dire it is in the UK. It's not going to get any better unless radical steps are taken. Lefty liberals won't take the necessary steps incase it upsets some poor scrotes feelings
