If the UK were Venezuela, it would be called a dictatorship

The press would most definitely be calling this a dictatorship if it were Venezuela or any other target state of the west.

So far/on its way under Johnson:

- installing of unelected ministers (Zac Goldsmith)
- voter suppression
- boundary changes
- banning protest (strikes & BDS)
- threats to dissenting media (The Canary)
- threats to the supreme court
- court rules British MI5 agents can murder, kidnap and torture
- support from far-right Tommy R, Britain First, KT Hopkins etc

Added to the usual:

- unelected/partially hereditary House of Lords
- FPTP system
- pliant, monopolised media
- journalists imprisoned (Assange)
- unelected head of state

What else?
