Just as in the US, rightwing billionaires control UK media and have coopted the Conservative party. Leading Conservatives are willing to damage the country to pursue power. And they’re using populist lying propaganda in newspapers, TV, and social media to persuade the Conservative base that Brexit is ok.

The problems in the UK are the SAME problems we have in the US.
