Looks like our flaccid government have cocked up the implementation of their porn laws delaying it by 6 months. Furious campaigners are demanding a bi erection.
The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.
But both the Tories and Labour wave this stuff through without a second thought. Is there really not a single libertarian streak left anymore within the 'Conservative' party? And the last Labour government laid the groundwork for a lot of this shite and despite voting against it then Corbyn/whoever has near enough waved all the contemporary stuff through both houses.
But it seems not enough of the public give a fck that their rights and privacy are both being eroded.
The technology stuff is truely dangerous. Mainly because most politicians of all colours and creeds do not have a fcking clue what they are talking about, and most of them probably couldnt even turn a laptop on without some PA or aide to do it for them.
The snooping and surveillance stuff is being pushed by people in the background.
Recently, the Scottish police force have been investigated for purchasing and using equipment which can sweep and store all your information from phones and computers whether you have done anything wrong or not. WITHOUT A WARRANT. And it looks like courts will find it illegal. Worse still, when its been bought, cops will use this until somebody finds out about it, reports it, and it goes through the courts. In the meantime, it still gets used. If nobody reports it...Sinister as fck.
I actually saw this other one. In London they set up facial recognition vans (kinda like pavement speed cameras for human faces) to take pictures of randoms walking down the road. If you hid your face or put your hood up and refused to let them take a pic.. you got fined £90 on the spot. Then then they took your pic.

But dont worry, if you got nothing to hide, you got nothing to fear. Right?
Yep saw that facial recognition stuff too. Horrendous.
And your right that the vast majority of the politicians mandating this stuff don't have a clue. For example, the mass data retention stuff was toyed with in Denmark prior to it coming in over here and they swiftly nipped it in the bud because it soon became clear that it was near impossible to properly hold all this largely pointless data and the cost was eye-watering. But despite seeing this the idiots over here plowed on.
This - https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/mar/30/uk-snoopers-charter-could-cost-1bn - even suggests that at the time of the stuff being finalised a lot of people who know about this stuff thought it would end up costing over a billion quid ffs. Dread to think what the true figures have turned out to be. The Snoopers Charter, HS2, bollox 'No Deal' prep...how much have the cnts wasted and will continue to waste over the coming years. No wonder people in the country feel no material benefit anymore.
Tbf, David Davis used to be really hot on this stuff and this rings pretty true from him: '"In every other country in the world, post-Snowden, people are holding their government's feet to the fire on these issues, but in Britain we idly let this happen […] Because for the past 200 years we haven't had a Stasi or a Gestapo, we are intellectually lazy about it, so it's an uphill battle." But shame he seemingly stopped caring about a lot of it after becoming Brexit sec.
