“A revolution in the way Britain does politics has begun in Devon. Tory MPs should be afraid”
by George Monbiot in the Guardian @TheGuardian_uk
“This is what democracy looks like: hundreds of people queueing in the rain, seeking to take back control of a political system that treats voters like an afterthought. Last weekend, a remarkable democratic experiment reached its first conclusion. A process that began here in South Devon and is now spreading to other constituencies has allowed voters to reclaim the initiative from centralised and self-interested political parties. It directly confronts our unfair electoral system.”
@GeriatricGardener@TheGuardian_uk Monbiot’s service for British imperialism by witch-hunting critics of the war in Ukraine shows how ludicrous are his claims to be helping a “slow revolution” to advance democratic rights.
The Guardian has also played a key role in vilifying Julian Assange.
Have you seen this?

… “Behaviour that could constitute extremism” is “Advocating that the UK’s parliamentary democracy and democratic values and rights are not compatible with their ideology, and seeking to challenge, overthrow, or change our political system outside of lawful means.”
This is the criminalisation of opinion and thought, rather than actions taken.
