Is Democracy Dying?

They hanker for something that never was.

That would explain why loads of people in their 40s and 50s seem to be obsessed with ww2 and the "Dunkirk spirit" and bring it up whenever the fact that brexit will fuck the country comes up.

I am glad it's not just me!!! This whole subject confuses the hell out of me.

I had to tell someone that Communists weren't liberals today. When did the word liberal become a catch all, for conservatives, for anyone they don't like?

Its a very American point of view but it's crept over here. They try to bash anyone left of fox news as a soviet loving pinko for thinking that someone should get health care even if they are poor or that people should be paid a decent wage. It'll happen here before long. The NHS is already being ground down, how long before it's suggested that instead of funding it we scrap it?
 
It's the right wing mantra. It needs fighting wherever possible.

Did you know that we pay half what Americans do, per person, for healthcare? I know they probably pay too much, but it also demonstrates that we could be paying more.
