In U.K. Vote, Online Disinformation Is the New Normal

It’s not like they don’t deserve criticism, their policies are financial suicide. Additionally they’re lying about the NHS along with every left wing rag out there.

Tories wanting to sell the NHS is fake news. It’s fear-mongering. Labour already sold the NHS essentially, allowing provisions of services by private companies. The Tories haven’t made any cuts to the NHS while in power.

So why do labour and their supporters keep touting rubbish?

I vouched for this post to bring it back from the dead, because HN flagging shouldn't be used to engage in partisan political suppression.

As a Brit I've also found the rhetoric around the NHS to be depressing. People talk like one of the major parties has a manifesto pledge to shut it down, but there's no such discussion anywhere. One major party spends much of its time attacking policies the other doesn't actually have. This doesn't seem right.
