Welp, this is gonna be a privacy clusterfuck.
So many real issues in the world but nah, we need more surveillance state. We need to eat the rich like now
Damn UK is getting really Orvelian fast. Not really surprising They always had authoritarian politicians
I have to wonder if this a large portion of this is due to the monarchy being a significant part of theur national identity. While monarchies aren’t necessarily authoritarian, the two concepts are frequent bedfellows
If I were to describe the UK, it would be as three and a bit countries in a trench coat and the country in control of the legs are constantly trying to run onto a busy motorway no matter what.
The UK has always been Orwellian, it’s just the way they justify their Orwellian shit that changes. This is the third government I’ve lived under that has advocated for ID Cards and the next government (Reform) is going to use this and the OSA to absolutely fuck people over.
Welp, I’ve been anti-authoritarian ever since I learned what it was, but this is the moment I will actively reject the UK government. They’re finally coming to directly interfere with my life. I’ll never work at companies that conform to this as long as it’s in place, and I urge others to do the same.
