"Showing them up" . . . to what end?
Those in control of our affairs ensure that the people of England and others elsewhere in the UK have nothing to coalesce behind to oppose the current political establishment. Opponents are denied a platform by broadcasters and national newspapers in the way I was denied a say by the EDP!
Be in no doubt that this is standard practice in a number of spheres, including the trades unions, to silence or muffle opponents!
We do not have a true democracy and, if (when?) our standards of living deteriorate significantly, we may see much more of the 'political' action manifested in the Ukraine, Pakistan and Kenya! Short of such extremes, the people here must learn to assert themselves in other, effective ways. What is the Government going to do if millions of citizens comply with the requirement to supply information but ensure that it is incorrect? What is it going to do if, as a consequence of incorrect details being supplied, there are endless disputes about what is correct? The whole process can be bogged down.
In the old days one could gain more time to pay by cheque if the cheque was first made out to the wrong payee. Then when the cheque was returned a new cheque drawn for the appropriate payee, but with the wrong date (ie year) shown and sent unsigned. You get the idea. Millions of citizens operating in the same 'co-operative' way can create huge problems.
