Andrew Neil's news channel is an attack on British democracy. Like Murdoch's Fox News it is designed to create a self-contained right-wing tribe which regards the rest of society as enemies and so will back the kleptocrats' demolition of democracy.

Make no mistake, the kleptocratic super-rich and their political and media minions are now a class wholly detached from the rest of society. They see democracy and its laws, taxes and regulations as an unjust imposition. They will therefore use any trick to cripple or destroy it.
They want to divide us into warring tribes who live in closed belief bubbles, and come to regard the other group as enemies, not as fellow members of a democratic community. They then will use their money and their pet tribe to crush opposition to their kleptocratic project.
People focus on Trump's threat to democracy. But the Republicans are with him all the way, and that not because they fear him, but because like the Tory elite they are now the willing tools of their democracy-hating super-rich paymasters.
The sociopathic super-rich believe they deserve every penny of their wealth, and that it is robbery and slavery for democratic governments to force them to give up any of it on behalf of individuals whose failure to become wealthy makes them unworthy as human beings.
