Here’s a well-informed rant about why the UK’s Online Safety Act is dumb and dangerous.
The most shocking segment is a review of how many times ‘VPN’ has been mentioned in Parliament while debating the Act. (Almost none!)
The OSA is bad law, created by a bunch of idiots who completely ignored the advice of many experts, and which makes everyone, including children LESS safe online.

"Farmers will come in the pub on a Friday night and say: ‘The public don’t care as long as it’s cheap.’ Which is absolute crap. And the public will say: ‘You never see a farmer on his bike – [instead] driving around in Range Rovers shouting “get off my land!"‘ Which is also crap"

A very good article on modern farming in the UK.

According to our always truthful government "In the last 12 months, Southern Water have reduced leaks by almost 20%, saving 138.7 million litres per day" gov.uk/government/news/nationa. So why only in the last 12 months? if they'd done that for the last five years, at 20% per year, there wouldn't be any leaks at all. So why haven't they? #UKPolitics #water

GOV.UK · National Drought Group meets to address “nationally significant” water shortfallBy Environment Agency

This is what has been unleashed on Britain, forced on us by the Labour government and now Women and Girls who do not conform to Patriarchal standards of Femininity (or aren't White) live in fear of being challenged just for using the toilet.
Obviously a Billionaire in her castle will never suffer these indignities, that's for the rest of us. And we should be 'grateful' to her /s

By now you may have seen that the UK government is suggesting that one way to prevent drought is to delete old emails and pictures, all the while saying nothing about using AI and their own addiction to pushing it at every opportunity.

Note that this isn't the first time they've done this - the screenshot is from this press release published in June:

Oh look Joanne, you've enabled things like this.

Now remind us, who is more likely a rapist? A butch Lesbian, or a Male Copper?

Thanks Joanne, I'm sure all the Women will be thanking you for getting rid of every Woman who doesn't fit the Feminine Ideal (as promoted by Men)
