No longer a joke

We have a government who, in recent days:

Voted to change the rules on striking, making it much more difficult for workers to stand up for themselves.

Just launched a massive review of the BBC, the countries main source of news and a body unafraid to hold the government to account.

Scapegoats minorities such as people on benefits, branding them scroungers.

Blames external factors such as the economic crisis for pushing through massive, regressive yet ultimately ideologically-inspired cuts to the state.

Is it me, or doesn’t the government seem to be becoming more and more absolutist. This is getting serious. The tories are attacking the beeb, the nhs; soon we won’t be able to strike. They might pretend they aren’t exceeding their rights and are acting fairly, but the tories are becoming increasingly authoritarian, even fascist. It is no longer a joke: they must be stopped.
