    The UK conservatives aren’t even trying to hide it anymore. They have now just gone full on dictatorship energy.

    Fortunately they are a bunch of incompetents who fight amongst themselves like a sack of cats. Otherwise they might actually represent threat.

      While I agree with your distaste, I hope you remain wary. Their incompetence seems to have the outcome of enriching them and their sponsors. Can you still attribute incompetence when they are benefitting?

      Regarding dictatorship, the conservatives right now are setting up a lot of things like anti-protest laws that seem toothless because they haven’t been used to the fullest extent, but the groundwork is there. It won’t take long (likely one election cycle) and I’m sure we’ll see them use it in the fullest extent.
