Yet, Mobiot, doesn't seem to accept or really address what's really going on here or see the unpleasant wider implications for 'liberal democracy' or as some term it... 'bourgeois democracy'. He touches on them towards the end, but doesn't see the context, apparently, of the State combining with the giant corporations, the institutional who really have power in society and who really 'run things', deciding to eliminate freedom of speech, freedom to demonstrate, freedom to oppose, freedom to dissent... from how Market Capitalism has decided to defend itself from democracy itself and go on the offensive to protect its interests, which are, cleary, not those of the vast majority of the population.
