- Comment on [UK] Police forces to get authoritarian powers to extract data from online accounts 3 days ago:
These clauses added to the Bill yesterday grant powers for police to access any online account and the information within it, on approval of a senior officer, through a seized phone or device.
Any online account. So Instagram and TikTok, but also NHS accounts, banking apps, work accounts, they have carte blanche to just rifle through anything and everything that you’ve signed into? With no judicial warrant required.
America may be openly fascist now, but the UK isn’t far behind.
And this is under a Labour government.
If you have any left wing leanings, vote Green in future, convince friends and family to vote Green.
Labour are authoritarian and the Lib-Dems will sell out any principles for a whiff of power. The Greens might have some shit candidates, but they at least support proportional representation and not starting a police state.

- Comment on Downing Street ‘exploring plan for digital ID cards’ 2 weeks ago:
And a scheme to charge the phone, and a scheme to replace your phone if you drop it, and a scheme to criminalise you if you forget your phone at your mates or down the pub.
This scheme is an authoritarian over reach into day to day life.
- Comment on Wiltshire PCC supports calls to reclassify cannabis as Class A - BBC News 3 weeks ago:
Mr Wilkinson added: "The idea that cannabis is a harmless drug is a misconception. Its cultivation and distribution are often controlled by organised crime networks that exploit vulnerable individuals and perpetuate violence.
Yes, because it’s illegal.
Make it legal and regulated like alcohol and these issues disappear. Moving it from illegal to SUPER DUPER illegal won’t change anything. Moron.
- Comment on The UK government is considering mandatory chemical castration for sex offenders – it’s an ethical and legal minefield 3 weeks ago:
Fair point, however by your own source:
although permanent effects in body chemistry can sometimes be seen, as in the case of bone density loss increasing with length of use of depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA).
In men… …side effects of some drugs may include depression, suicidal ideation, hot flashes, anemia, infertility, increase in body fat and higher risks of cardiovascular diseases and osteoporosis.
In women… …side effects include the deflation of breast glands, expansion of the size of the nipple and shrinking of bone mass.
My original point was about wrongful conviction but fuck, even if the person is guilty, that is cruel and unusual punishment.
State enforced depression and suicide ideation? No thanks. That’s Josef Mengele style shit, the Nazi SS Angel of Death

How do you reverse a chemical castration if it’s later revealed the person was wrongfully convicted?
www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-47973826
New figures show that 84 people were wrongly convicted of crimes between 2007 and 2017.
Charges ranged from murder to rape and included people serving life sentences.

- Comment on Benefit cheats could lose driving licences in anti-fraud drive 4 months ago:
Cruel and unusual punishment from a Labour government. Great.
Interesting that £1k of benefits cheating will give the government carte blanche to look through your bank accounts but fraud and tax avoidance by the richest in society and HMRC can’t do a thing. Funny how that works…
- Comment on Hospital admissions for lack of vitamins soaring in England, NHS figures show 5 months ago:
The solution is a varied diet.
We need to be eating random things, not the same protein, carbs, and veggies that we know we like and buy on routine.
How much of the fruit and vegetable aisle do you actually purchase from? I think many of us get in a routine of buying the same things over and over because we know what we like or we’re on autopilot from work burnout. But, for example, if instead of buying apples each week, we buy a different random fruit. Or, if the budget can stretch it, buy apples and a random fruit. Then our nutritional variety has just increased.
I’m being a bit of a hypocrite here because I myself like to buy the same things over and over. I like chicken, I like apples, I like the same granola I always get. But during each shop, I try to add at least something random that I don’t normally get. A vegetable I don’t normally cook with or tofu instead of chicken, whatever. We need variety.
There’s also the talk of nutritional content reducing in supermarket goods as they’re produced for profit. So growth speed and shelf appearance are prioritised, a way to combat that is to start growing some of your own. Obviously, this is highly dependent upon living situations, but even some herbs in a windowsill will help. Personally, I think vegetable gardeners are some of the most punk people out there, sustaining themselves, entertaining themselves, and learning new skills all for the price of a bag of dirt and some seeds. Be punk!
- Comment on New coal mining licences will be banned 7 months ago:
At the very bottom of the page:
Notes to editors
Limited exceptions to the ban may be required for safety or restoration purposes. An exemption is also anticipated to protect the historic rights of freeminers to mine personal gales in the Forest of Dean.
The government has laid a Written Ministerial Statement confirming that it will introduce legislation to restrict the future licensing of new coal mines, by amending the Coal Industry Act 1994, when Parliamentary time allows.
- Comment on Somebody moved UK's oldest satellite, and no-one knows who or why 7 months ago:
It was manufactured by the Americans, put into space by the Americans, controlled by the Americans until they handed over control to the RAF, and was stated in the article to be “dual control”. It was clearly the Americans.
Why is an event that happened in the 1970s getting an article now?
