What is happening in the UK in the last year or so? I keep seeing crazy headlines like this every so often.
The online safety act requiring ID, police showing up at old people's houses for their Facebook/twitter posts, or that one time someone suggested they would try to extradite Americans for the same thing. Where is this coming from all of a sudden?
The centre left government are afraid of losing voters to the far right party, so they’re cutting out the middle man and implementing crazy authoritarian policies first.

We need to cut off the UK from the global internet before this cancer spreads !
And as quickly as possible, otherwise we'll fucking start living in a dystopia much sooner than we otherwise would have.

You would have to cut off the UK government and politicians from the rest of the worlds politicians, rather than cutting off the internet though. The idea to make these authoritarian laws is the contagious problem, not the people using the internet.

Labour won in a landslide after the Brexit mess rightfully fucked up the Tories. They do this because they aren't center left, but a right/far-right party by their ideology now. They don't have to do this. They want to do this.
The "Labour/Social Democratic" parties all over Europe have been sliding into right/far-right authoritarianism and Racism over the past decades, after many of them slided into Neoliberalism at the end of the 90s and in the 2000s.

Well, those politicians will use the population as human shield and we couldn't get to them, so the entire thing has to be cordonned off.
I think encircling the entire island in a safety minefield, the entire perimeter and 50 kilometer deep, a anti-air curtain that covers the entire Island plus 200 km in all directions, cutting all communication cables going to the Island and a radio jamming system that neutralizes all communication devices with a power rating less then 5 terawatts on RF bands from 20kHz to 750 THz would be a good start.If that does not prove sufficient to silent the sources of this informational hazard infection then we will have to take serious measures such as sinking the whole thing by about 350 miles deep into the mantle.

Reminds me of NYC cops bragging about taking away pellet guns.
"You... you can't be serious?!"
And guess where ICE is operating. I'll give you three guesses, but you're only going to need one.
Yeah that’s ridiculous. Not 4 month sentence ridiculous, but pretty ridiculous.

Also worth noting that they only won by a landslide because the Tories lost loads of voters because people were so fed up with them. Labour actually got less votes this election than they did previously when they lost
