The tories are basically running the country on behalf of Murdoch,dacre and the Barclays. They peddle lies about the EU,lies about patriotism,lies about big bad foreigners,smear the **** out of anyone who isn't singing from their hymn sheet politically (hello jezza) to keep the masses onside and in their pocket.
Meanwhile their riches are in the caymans, and the car workers in Swindon and sunderland might lose their jobs but **** it as long as they and their pals get richer and more powerful its job done.
You only had to watch that smarmy **** grayling on the news last night ludicrously blaming rail workers and trade unions for prices going up. They are actually laughing at us,because they are untouchable and they know it.
Seems the media in the UK is the same as the media here with one exception - the media here tends to be left of centre and is on the whole opposed to Trump and what he is trying to do. The Tories may win because of the media, Trump won despite the media!!
Seems to me that all media needs to start reporting the facts irrespective of the party it praises or criticizes, but it seems those days are gone. Nearly all media now is somewhat biased one way or the other and the ones we like or buy or watch are generally the ones who agree with what we believe in.
