Totally agree with everything you say Manatee. Undoubtedly both the press and social media have a lot to play in what eventual outcomes are.
Re Brexit, I keep thinking about who wanted this, and why.
Ultimately, it goes back to the right wing press who are, effectively, controlling what the government is doing on a day by day basis. BJ doesn’t answer to the plebs, he answers to Music etc.
The levelling up that they often talk about seems more to be a case of separating the elite and paupers rather than trying to bring them closer together.
And don’t start me on voter ID, trying to control Charity Commission, OFCOM, reduce Human Rights etc etc. Anyone who has done the tours of Auschwitz and look into how narrative and messages were controlled, it’s happening before our very eyes.
