If a government says they’re doing something “for the children” or “to fight terrorism”, it’s neither of those things - it’s for control. Those are just the got-to reasons they use to push them through because they can push the narrative that anyone against it supports terrorism/child abuse.

the brits really need to learn from the french how to protest. it's been nearly a month and i haven't heard of even a measly car being set on fire, just one petition that got a reply akin to "lol, nah". the french would've set a car on fire for less is all i'm saying

They also get arrested for peaceful protests and stay silent:

Southport was a tinderbox, but the current trends if you're actually from the UK shows that there's a bonfire incoming.

You only have to watch a couple of YouTube live streams.....wait. Tomorrow I wait for age gating to see if Google is that.....nefarious in stopping me watching YTP vids without a passport.

Ima gonna giggle

With regards to this most people are just ignoring the law. VPN use has gone through the roof.

We need to build a decentralised internet quickly using I2P or something similar and scale and decentralise quickly. VPN’s will be the first to go then TOR after they attempt to control the exit nodes .

We need to show the governments that we are allowed to use encryption and Wikipedia and not be treated as criminals for wanting privacy .

yeah and their government is planning on restricting VPN use because of that, they're not going to stop being dickheads, brits need to get their voices heard sooner rather than later

We don’t want this dystopian nightmare either, and just like Brexit we weren’t told what it was before it was too late.
Hopefully you will welcome us back when all the liars are voted out and ignored.

Scotland might finally leave the UK because of this. It has been close before, but this must do it by now.

They've said nothing of the sort.

i will admit, i do not remember where i got that info from, i thought it was part of the reply to the petition that was making rounds a week or so ago but i'm not sure now

I think there was a lot of speculation and jokes about that's what would happen next from people on here and other places.

There has been a petition. And it has received the aforementioned "lol no" response. The thing is though after the French set the capital on fire the age of retirement still went up, nothing changed.

Anyway, all we have to do is use a VPN to get around it and wait for the inevitable data leak, then the whole thing will collapse under the weight of its own stupidity.

England isn't the problem, it's London that's the problem.

London needs to become its own independent city state and then they can do what the hell they want with it and then we'll be governed by someone from Leeds or Manchester or someplace like that, by someone who actually has a grip

Sadly, Thatcher broke the miners and we’ve never been right since.

One backbench MP said something about it.

Didnt say England was the problem. The UK is, whereever it's run from.

Ah ok. That makes sense where it came from then.
