Don’t worry, the EU would never let this happen…

They’ll do what Russia does with their online services. Have a registration scheme with noncompliant VPNs being outright banned.
Simple when you know which dictator to copy.
- Comment on UK to “encourage” Apple and Google to put nudity-blocking systems on phones 2 weeks ago:
That seems the most sensible way of doing things. Apple probably doesn’t want that outcome though because then they’ll be liable for the implementation rather than, for example, the social networks or websites.
Always gotta be thinking about the Apple shareholders.

Well we look forward to the democrats being an effective opposition. Oh wait… 🫠
- Comment on US demands access to tourists' social media histories 2 weeks ago:
Don’t worry about it! The Democrats will oppose this and get it kicked out for being un American. And if they don’t succeed then all you have to do is wait until they get back into office and they’ll executive order it straight outta town in an instant…
Right?

and maybe that the US isn’t the greatest country in the world in all fields.
I think that’s why they want our “high value data fields”… ☺️

😅 this is going to turn into a “what have the Romans ever done for us” sketch, right?
We never used to use flags before Brexit
Here’s us using flags before Brexit.
Well apart from that…
- Comment on Great British Railways flies the flag as logo goes back to the future 2 weeks ago:
But it started happening here only after Brexit.
You’re right. Here’s Tony Blair and George Bush Junior discussing plans for Iraq post Brexit draped with flags 🥲.
- Comment on Great British Railways flies the flag as logo goes back to the future 2 weeks ago:
ministers making sure they never had a photo taken in their office without a big flag over their shoulder.
This happened all over the world. Not just the UK. Have a look at any EU country where they proudly showcase bothe their nation’s flag as well as the EU one “over their shoulder”. I suppose they’re also wrong 😄?
- Comment on Great British Railways flies the flag as logo goes back to the future 3 weeks ago:
but there’s a loud, post-Brexit insecurity to the prevalence of the flag.
Let’s be fair: the flag in various designs has been on many many brands and markings well before Brexit. Perhaps it’s a case that you just happened to notice it more after Brexit? What’s that phenomenon called? Baader–Meinhof or something like that?

Sadly I’m old enough to remember when my local GP made house calls and worked on a weekend. Is that what you meant by humane appointments?

Isn’t the whole point of having a photo on your passport so that someone can recognise your face? Otherwise why do you think there are pictures in your passport or driving licence at all?

- Comment on Don’t believe Nigel Farage’s denials. He targeted me for being Jewish – and it hurt | Peter Ettedgui 4 weeks ago:
Fair!
I have very little faith at the moment that it will change people’s minds. Everyone is so hyper polarised all the time. But one can hope!
- Comment on Don’t believe Nigel Farage’s denials. He targeted me for being Jewish – and it hurt | Peter Ettedgui 4 weeks ago:
Given that everyone that has taken an objective step back and looked at Farage’s history knows he’s a cunt racist and those that would follow him into the depths of darkness will deny this to their last breath… what do people wish to see with these stories?
It’s not suddenly going to change Red Wall voting Brexit Bro’s mind. They’ll still vote Reform “oi won’t my country back from dem forrneers, innit”.

- Comment on 'Palestine Action activist struck officer with sledgehammer', court hears 5 weeks ago:
Do you support WW2 veterans? They perpetrated huge amounts of violence, to prevent the Nazis performing greater harm.
False equivalency. The act of violence was against Elbit system in smashing their equipment. Not the policewoman called to prevent a criminal act. You’re basically trying to hand wave war crimes by saying anything that you do in war is justified. How does breaking someone’s spine contribute to stopping genocide on Palestine? Listen to yourself.
cops bash people’s heads in every day, who cares if the reverse is done to them whilst trying to stop the machinery of war and genocide?
Nobody is looking to justify unlawful violence by the police. And we should all care because I bet nobody wants to live in an increasingly violent community where people think it’s ok to beat people up because they disagree with them.
Why was it not possible to smash up the machines and building as a way of protest but when confronted by security and police stop and hold their hands up? They would have achieved their aims of going after the companies contributing to genocide. But they had to actively assault people as well? I don’t understand that logic. It’s a frighteningly violent logic.
- Comment on 'Palestine Action activist struck officer with sledgehammer', court hears 5 weeks ago:
I’m not sure why that justifies attempting to smash someone’s spine by, not once, but twice swinging and hitting someone.
Just take a step back. Do you support violence? Of any kind? I’m guessing not given your baton comments. So violence presented with a sledgehammer in the name of Palestine Action should also not be something you apologise for.
- Comment on 'Palestine Action activist struck officer with sledgehammer', court hears 5 weeks ago:
Fucking hell!
Of all the stupid ways to try and raise awareness of Israeli genocide, attempting to smash a female police officer’s spine with a sledgehammer was not what I expected to read.
