Politics, its all a bit wrong at the minute innit?
But what can an individual do about it?
Well, if you have a brain, a keyboard and the internet, there is something.
Take the piss. extract the michael. Voice your dissent with sarcastic comment. Poke fun.
Expose the bullshit for what it is, a bunch of people meddling and making mistakes that cause unhappiness to countless millions, with media barons backing them up distorting the truth in favour of big busines advertisers and the super elite.
With the online community growing globally daily, one voice saying the right thing at the right time, even when its clearly made up, can affect future events... millions of voices can do more. political change for the better sometimes requires upheaval.
If you see something wrong, you should speak up about it, in any way you can, like these nutters from the UK satire community, smaller than the onion, miniscule compared to the dailymash, not as huge as newsthump, but the content is on a different level.. have a good browse..
Oh and theres also this, where real newspapers accidentally beat satirists to the punchline.. http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/transfers/stormzy-romelu-lukaku-manchester-united-kit-first-picture-irish-publication-the-herald-transfer-a7833071.html

I really hope they clamp down on Fake News. It can really create some seriously undesirable outcomes.
I agree, newspapers and news outlets should, but satire and comedy and parody have always been used as tools of discussion and dissent. People deserve the right to express their dissatisfaction.. The real problem in the U.K. is the right wing tabloid paers and their attention grabbing right wing
headlines used to manipulate the populace.. hence Brexit and election results...
