iCloud backdoor mandated by the UK. We have to ask the question: if MI5 has access to this today, won't Reform have access to it tomorrow?

We even have Elon Musk trying to get to Reform aligned with Stephen Yaxley-Lennon (aka Tommy Robinson), an already far-right party currently polling very well.

We have to act as though an overtly far-right government is coming to the UK some time before 2030 and if that's the case: our government and judiciary need to stop laying the groundwork for them today.

The very stretched use of the word "voluntary" here also leads one to inspect the meaning of "departure".

Any minute now a labour centrist type will be along to tell us that criticising Mandelson for his friendship with Epstein and all that implies is not pragmatic and is in fact unreasonable purity politics.

I think there's a balance, in that if everybody suppressed that speech and refused to take that risk of criticising then those corrupt and powerful state actors would be unchallenged.

They can then become even more powerful and may continue to encroach into private life and speech. While it may be necessary to defend yourself on the one hand, hiding entirely may also present additional dangers.

I'm very much so on this team. Single digit hours are too early, frankly.

Presumably every other country now ought to update their safety advice as it pertains to the US. Bleak.

Hanlon's razor. It's pretty clear some people can be stupid and malicious simultaneously, or will even feign stupidity to hide malice.

A good way is to find a meetup group with some shared interest. It doesn't really matter what so long as the crowd is good and you know enough to hold a conversation in the subject.
