100%

You do not have a functioning democracy when the vast majority of the population is unable to articulate their needs.

    This is great except for

    all media in the UK to be members of a statutory regulator

    So the regulator gets to decide which organisations get freedom of speech? That sounds ripe for abuse.

    It would be better just to regulate publishing and give OFCOM the teeth to do something about publishers who break the law. There's no need to restrict media to a whitelist of approved publishers.

    Ask for the arm, get the hand. Don't knock it because you don't like one single thing

    The trojan horse was a beautifully carved and impressively large wooden structure, but I wasn't a fan of the army hidden inside. More fool me.
