alt Hacker NewsWhy is it funny? You think British media can’t be critical of the British government? They are famously merciless.
Also, the economist is majority foreign owned, so try doing more than 1 second of research, or be more civil, or ideally both.

To be fair, BBC has hardly been that critical in the British governments' complicity in the genocide in Gaza.
And their headlines covering Israeli atrocities (not even their own governments), is super passive.

The Economist is very much part of the establishment, whoever they are owned by. It is not surprising that they would want to play down any idea that the UK is less “democratic”. Furthermore, The Economist is one of the main mouthpieces of British capitalism, and so their definition of “democracy” is going to be very much of the liberal, capital-friendly kind, which is not completely incompatible with some authoritarian tendencies.
