I absolutely detest it when politicians are just this fuckin’ clueless. I rather hope the lot of them have their bank accounts tampered with.

And for that feat, UK will not rejoin the EU for another decade. This is a very undemocratic move the UK is doing here.

The EU is trying to do this at an EU level (and has been for years). As well as an individual country level, Sweden seems likely to pass a similar law in 2026.

Reducing UK security is probably not a good idea at the best of times, let alone these days with global tensions increasing.

Yeah, but how are they gonna catch the bad guys unless they can unlock your home and make sure you’re not one of them? /s

Welp…

From now on; whenever they can’t find incriminating messages elsewhere, they will come to you. You suspicious, secret, something to hide-guy.
