  • Free access to information meant everyone would be educated and informed, and able to freely communicate and organize.

    Could be, not would be. They still can be. But they won't be.

    Corporations turned it into a tool of oppression.

    No the people turned it into a tool of distraction from the pain of life using the tools corporations were happy to provide.

    Technology has never and will never save us from capitalism on its own.

    Capitalism isn't the reason that free access to information hasn't educated and informed everyone. Exactly the same indifference to education and organisation would exist in the absence of capitalism. The limitation isn't capitalism, the limitation is the suffering that life necessarily implies. In the face of relentless suffering, most people are not motivated to learn beyond what's necessary to survive.

  • 'that's too much proof'

    I've neither said nor implied that.

    my information about the news from the news

    Interesting that you're looking for information about the news rather than information about the government.

    The things I said are happening

    I disagree.

  • The sources more than prove this.

    I disagree.

    I actually have a folder of saved tabs called 'good things Labour are doing

    Ah! So basically it's just news articles on websites that have convinced you.

    Are they doing the things I've said they are doing? Yes.

    I disagree.

  • I'm not especially keen on googling things for you

    For me? Wow. There was me thinking that providing well-sourced opinions was for the benefit of the writer in their not being dismissed out of hand.

    publicly available information

    Firstly, a majority of these links are to the same story reported in different publications. They give the impression that you searched the web for something like "labour green transition" and then copied all the URLs as links. I didn't ask for help searching the web.

    Secondly, none of the articles are about anything Labour has actually achieved, only what they say they'd like to do, are planning to do, or have done only as a result of procedures that were already in place when they took power. If these links are all you have then you have nothing convincing.
