"They're terrified."
"Did you not realize what this would be? Being fucking gestapo, being Nazis?"

The UK Online Safety Act has hit the fan 💩
It's clear to see in the overreaching censorship across platforms due to age-gated content.
Plus the privacy risks being stored up with an unregulated age verification industry.
Tell your MP it's gone too far ⬇️

"I will also add, calling critics of this law "JIMMY SAVILE" is the most politically inept and childish thing I've seen in British Politics recently. Are we returning to the Playground?
I mean, I hate Nigel Farage but your boy Peter Kyle really handed him a win, didn't he?"

In 2023, former aide Gawain Towler, said Nigel #Farage "touched the clitoris of public opinion"
This ethnonationalist propoganda and rhetoric is supported at the highest levels of the US government now. It is central to policy: massive funding for ICE, gutting agencies, mass deportation as "remigration." Remember "remigration" means ethnic cleansing.
‘#Starmer says #Blair's #ClimateCrisis views are in line with government policy
Sammy Wilson (DUP) says Starmer’s net zero policy “is not only bad, it is mad”. Even Tony Blair says so, he says.
Starmer says Blair said there should be more #CarbonCapture. The government agrees. He called for more use of #AI. That is happening too, he says. And Blair said domestic targets were needed too, he says.’

“Tony #Blair has decided to mimic Nigel #Farage on #NetZero and sounds like he is speaking on behalf of petro-states like Saudi Arabia & Kazakhstan for whom he has lobbied for more years than he was PM.
It is vital that the government distance itself from this latest dodgy dossier from Blair and turn its attention instead to what the Climate Change Committee is saying today. Their report could not be clearer: we are woefully unprepared for the impacts of climate breakdown”
