"The UK has been downgraded in an annual global index of civic freedoms as a result of the government’s “increasingly authoritarian” drive to impose restrictive and punitive laws on public protests.

The Civicus Monitor, which tracks the democratic and civic health of 197 countries across the world, said the UK government was creating a “hostile environment” towards campaigners, charities and other civil society bodies."

I mean this is not a surprise.

[perrykneeham]

No, The Guardian have always been thick wankers.

[Repat Van]

It’s not the Guardian’s report.

[perrykneeham]

They're completely on side with it. In fact, reports like that wouldn't exist if they weren't indulged by thickies.

HaHaHaHaHa The Guardian as ever !

[ootlg]

Hahahaha... the usual suspects as ever !

[flatandy]

We know that our resident right-wingers can’t try and pretend they think that the crushing of dissent and increasing authoritarianism are bad things.

[ootlg]

Wait until the Retained EU Law Bill gets through.

Brilliant. Hoist, massively, by their own petard. Even brillianter that it was Guido that pushed them to it, whereas they would have kept it quiet. Ha, and indeed, ha.

Ol' Jacob Sunde, surely? Uncle Tom's grandpappy.

The Guardian runs at a loss, doesn't it? They're always scrounging for a sub every time you are obliged to look at one of their adolescent articles.

The Scott Trust, which owns the Guardian, has the best part of a billion quid in a British bank where they pay loads of t... no wait, I mean the Caymans.

Good for the Guardian. Now let's have the Mail and Express apologise for everything they've ever done wrong. That should fill their paper for a few years.

[mids]

What about Terry?

[Repat Van]

“ The owner of the Guardian has issued an apology for the role the newspaper’s founders had in transatlantic slavery and announced a decade-long programme of restorative justice.”

Good.

[mids]

You should apply for some of the cash.

[mids]

Anyway, I think we're all agreed that the Guardian should cancel itself and shut down for its outright support of slavery.

[perrykneeham]

Not least the enslavement and exploitation of the thickies that pay to read The Guardian and The Observer.
