There are assaults on the right to protest coming from the government, and the authoritarian far-right news organs that support them. That there have been attacks upon MPs is true, but the effort to put all dissent and protest into the box of violence and intimidation is a fascistic attack upon our democracy, every bit as much as is making death threats to MPs.
It is heartening to see ITV's Good Morning Britain taking a balanced and rational view. And no surprise whatsoever to see that GBeebies believes it is wrong to seek to influence politicians.
SODEM sings satirical songs, makes bad jokes, and points out politicians spouting bullshit. We respect the role of the serious reporter, and treat with the contempt the demagogues of the subsidised propaganda mills.
That is democracy.
