We gained more fascism.

- Channel 4 heavily criticised the PM and pulled an ice-statue-replacement stunt after he failed to show for an interview, so they're being sold off.

- Johnson wants to strip electoral watchdog of prosecution powers

- Threatening to reduce the power of the Supreme Court

- Department of Education strongly encouraged schools to make children sing a One Britain, One Nation song (it's as bad as it sounds)

- Heavily trying to push through a Bill to ban protest, including single-person "protests"

- Government often completely bypasses Parliament, by making announcements outside of Parliament, much to the chagrin of the Speaker. This is weird as they have a whopping majority, so it's very deliberate what they're doing.

- Gov is looking at withdrawing from European Convention on Human Rights

- Priti Patel

- Taking control of BBC with cronies in top jobs

- Requiring ID for voting (blatant voter suppression). We do not have a fraud problem.

I could go on...

No, sorry, you don't get to invoke "comparison to Nazis" every time someone mentions the word "fascism".

Stop shutting down debate with bullshit conversation-stoppers, the GP made a valid point.

He literally compared the UK to a fascist state, and you're attacking me for calling him out on it?

He said "we gained more fascism", he didn't compare the UK to anything, and Godwin's law is specifically about mentioning Nazis, so I'm chastising you for being offtopic.
