          Declining democracy, Propaganda against Germany and France, behavior in general (constantly bitching about everything and blaming all bad on others)

              You really think we have a free press in the UK. what a stupid thing to say. The main press are all rightwing and ran by a small group of people. This is why it was big news that Starmer talked to Murdoch. Everyone with any sense knows that Murdoch has bought up more papers to push his propaganda than anyone else in the UK. If you want news do not look anywhere near the UK media.

                  Except government does interfere with our media. Emily Matlis who worked for the BBC said as much when she quit there. There is extreme prejudice given to Tory media when it comes to TV coverage. This has lead to a cost with left bias media.

              FPTP is objectively a shitty voting system, up to 49% of the people will go without representation.

              I don’t know if that’s necessarily evidence of a decline in U.K. democracy, but it does still make the U.K. a flawed democracy.

              I literally haven’t seen any propaganda about France or Germany so the propaganda machine might be broken.

              I’d also say that most of the bitching and blaming others people outside the country see would probably be the Tory cunts in charge who are hopeless sacks of shit that just want to fatten their wallet before they retire.
