The Brexit media was an excellent example of kleptofascism - fascist hate and lies in the service of kleptocratic greed.

Of course, some individuals like Putin, Trump, Musk, Thiel, and Sacks combine both the kleptocratic and fascist elements of kleptofascism.

“Just three companies, News Corp (Murdoch family), Daily Mail & General Trust (DMGT, Viscount Rothermere) and Reach plc, control over 80% of daily newspaper circulation…

The hyper-rich continue to invest huge sums in acquiring control of media”

We need a free press - ie free from the billionaires.

"The trouble for both the UK plants started with Brexit. It caused a lot of uncertainty within business, and business doesn’t like uncertainty.

"When you’ve got two plants that export 80% of their build, tariff confusion and no clarity really hurt."

Why do 70,000 'farmers' think they should own 90% of the UK forever and never pay tax.

While the other 68,930,000 have the other 10% to share and must pay tax.

The ultimate elitist BS.
