With regards to the US and UK.

Ask people like Julian Assange or Dr David Kelly whether or not you can criticize the government. You can't ask Dr Kelly because he was murdered, and you will have trouble with Assange as he's been illegally imprisoned for 4 years.

Again, ask Assange if he is getting due process, if you can get into Belmarsh prison.

Minority groups don't get fair treatment.

The qualification for running for office is to be rich and connected. If you are not rich and connected and it looks like you might actually win, your name will be dragged through the mud by the "free" press.

The press is bought and paid for and dances to the tune of capital.
