You believe that? Wow. Maybe you should read a newspaper. You are too far gone to reason with I fear, living in an alternate reality that doesn't exist.

What bit did I say that was factually inaccurate? Did you look at any of what I wrote? Looks like you need to read some news. I'm suggesting more BBC, Guardian, Independent than Daily Mail rage bait though.

You dismissed age controls and the masterbaitorbase as nothing to worry about, when it's an existential threat, even if there are holes in it now. The jury trial cancellation already happened, at least for up to 1 year in prison decided by appointed magistrates in 2020. Which they just expanded to 3 years. Just this year.

They sabotaged the functioning of the courts, then used their failure to work well as an excuse to cancel freedom.

They allow their politicians to declare protesters terrorists now too, I didn't even mention that one. Charged a woman with murder or something for taking an abortion pill she got from her doctor too, that was a fun one, under some 19th century law. Not guilty verdict, because JURY TRIALS.
