"How to spread dissent with the Government"
1) find an article in a mainstream publication that suggests life as we know it is being eroded
2) post a link to it on as many forums/discussion boards/social media sites as you can, asking people to "discuss"
For every link you post, dozens of people will participate, which regardless of individual opinions stated, will overall spread the message of the original article.

"Every person in Britain could owe up to £43,567 or even more in credit " said experts today.
That's the sort of drivel 'news' you get from newspapers, open ended meaningless statements designed to shock and make the gullible and feckless snatch up newspapers by the score.
Or:
"House prices drop, thousands to lose homes!!"
That was the Daily Express headlines about eight years ago that finally made me realise what a total load of gobshyte most newspapers are.

But seriously, to create more employment, and have the efforts of said employment for years to come provide enormous 'State' money savings and help prevent the problems that occur every year in mainly northern States, there is an easy solution.
Put the piggin' power lines underground! Obviously not the National Grid, but all the regular overhead cables that come down every time there's a bit of a storm.
In 1940 the Brits found it was easier to fix a cable damaged in a hole in the ground, than repairing power poles.
Nation wide it could be a million jobs.

I can't help it. When I left school at 15, I became an apprentice at a Nationalised Power company in Southern England. The first electrician I was 'apprenticed' to was the local "Shop Steward" for the ETU, who explained to me that we had to fight against the 'other' union, the Free Masons, so as to save England from the Conservatives. He wanted everything 'Nationalised' and under Union rule and told me I should welcome the day when the people rose up to welcome Uncle Joe when the USSR invaded. He explained in detail how much better things were with strong and honest Unions controlling the work force employers. "At the drop of a hat, we can close these greedy bastards down." One morning we went to the ETU offices and collected 500 ballot forms and took them to the local Post Office.
After lunch we went again to the ETU offices to find that 1,500 ballot forms had been delivered by the Post Office. I said, "Another Miracle of ETU efficiency!" He smacked me across the head, but he was never the same after that.
The next electrician was a Geordie who told me that his father would kick his arse until his nose bled if he ever found out he voted for a Tory. So what his father would have done if he'd found out his son had joined my father's Lodge, can only be wild guessing.
I've always championed 'solcialised medicine' especially after our US Medical Health insurance was cancelled in 1991!
