It is only due to the near-complete complicity of the media, the opposition's misguided sense of patriotic solidarity in a crisis, & a cult-like following groomed during the Brexit debate that this government is getting away with an unacceptable handling of the pandemic.

If this was reported on TV / in the paper w/ the appropriate degree of scrutiny & outrage, if the opposition stepped up (daily, loudly, visibly), if the Brexit campaign ('16 & '19) hadn't successfully created a divide, swearing followers to a cause, this would not be happening

People have been groomed to believe (in) this govt, mistrust their own eyes, not to ask questions, never believe anyone else, because everyone else is the enemy. We need a credible counter-narrative from papers & opposition in a language & with emotions people can understand!

As for the media (π€―), no-one can force them to be critical, but how can they be allowed to publish clear & provable falsehoods? This is not about foreign ownership, this is about lack of national journalistic standards, allowing papers the most biased, misleading reporting.

As long as both media & opposition allow government to distribute their propaganda, sow division, nothing *will change, because nothing *can change. Without information & a credible government alternative, followers of a cult will not question, nor leave.
