Your objections to this government are related to its policies, which you are of course entitled to, but many, including myself support those policies.

Using terms such as dictatorial relate to the process of government itself, and is not related to the governments policies. So throwing terms like that around where they bear no relation to the truth is just attempted scaremongering and spreading wholly false accusations

Being dictatorial is imposing your will even when warned of the dangers and problems of such will.
being dictatorial is talking 'at' people and groups rather than talking 'to' them.
Dismissing all concerns others have.

All things that this govt is doing.

Twist it all you like but I would be saying all these same things were this a Labour govt acting that way too.
And can you get it right for once please, I said 'near' dictatorial not that it was.
If you just want a silly tit for tat argument, find some other poor soul to be nitpicking with but it will not be me that indulges you in that for sure.
