The far-right are fond of calling moderate liberals "McCarthyite" for daring to criticise them when, of course, the originsl McCarthyism was about driving stars & producers on the left out of popular culture. As it stands, I don't think British democracy can survive...
1/6 🧵 any more right wingers perpetuating their own power networks across film & broadcasting. In Britain the fact these networks exists means the political right not only enjoy corporate support & that of the national press, but that of every mainstream British media outlet

Let's be real. The reason Britain isn't in lockdown, there's no testing outside hospitals & not enough PPE for medical staff = lack of government preparedness & an ideological exercise predicated on survival of the fittest. Relying on "Herd Immunity" to end the life of a 1/2 mutating deadly virus = recklessness on an epic scale the British people are being given no say in. Most do not wish to sacrifice their parents, grandparents & friends in this Frankenscience experiment. We need mass testing, PPE & radical containment now. Otherwise death & 2/3
