There’s only one person shouting ‘fascists’ as far as I can see. You’re sounding hysterical. Have a bounce on Swinson to calm yourself down.
Suppressing media is what Fascists did, and still do. Suppressing the news and "fake news" is one of the major elements of the White House since Trump has been in there, and the Tories under the lying coward Borisov look to be going in the same direction.

<laugh> Who?
Only one poll you should believe MRP poll and that gave a result....
However
You keep believing it’s not over. :1980_boogie_down:
 
No mate. I am disgusted by despicable ways these 'elitists' have acted over Brexit. MP's, Media, Judges, people in high places, all acting like muppets because they couldn't respect the referendum result.
Bringing the courts into a parliamentary matter was unnecessary. Bercow should hold his head in shame. Thank god that little weasel is gone and the rest of those dreadful MP's.
What people should take note of, is the amount of news on the state of the NHS and food banks. If these 'elitists' had respected the result there wouldn't have ben so much uncertainty and money being wasted. This money could have been used for these services. Corbyn can bleat on about it but his games have cost money that could have gone to these services.
They have been acting like spoilt brats.
In all my years of watching politics I have never been more ashamed how many have acted in recent times.
A clean sweep is needed to bring back respect and I hope the Tories do it.

Yeah it’s terrible how they’ve forced a cabal of Tory lunatics acting on behalf of their donors to not break the law. Will be much better when they can go full authoritarian.
 
EU tax havens vote against tax transparency
By EUobserver
Today, 09:27
Luxembourg, Malta, Cyprus, and Ireland - some of the EU's main offshore banking and tax haven-type countries - voted Thursday against new EU rules to force multinationals such as Amazon or Apple to reveal how much profit they make and how little tax they pay in Europe, The Guardian reports. Latvia, Slovenia, Estonia, Austria, Czech Republic, Hungary, Croatia, and Sweden also voted against, while the UK, another offshore centre, abstained.

A tool of both the Left & Right.

Isil families leave camp in northern Syria
28 November 2019 • 9:30pm
Ministers fear the repatriation of children and wives of Islamic state suspects from Syria could pave the way for dozens of jihadis to use human rights laws to return to the UK, sources have disclosed.
Priti Patel, the Home Secretary, is among ministers understood to be concerned that the women’s husbands could claim that to deny them a right to return to the UK would be a breach of their human right to a family life.
Their fears appeared justified as a lawyer who has represented families of Isil suspects said they would be covered by human rights laws.
The Conservative manifesto pledges to reform the human rights laws but it is not clear whether the concerns about the families would be covered...
