Not if RFK Jr has any say in it...

None of the mainstream media will spend a second on news like this, all they can do is report false, incorrect and incomplete information about "small boats"...

Not going to happen. Starmer has the spine of a wet newspaper...

Doesn't he realize that Orban giving him a "what a stupid question" look says more about him than about Orban?

How is that even legal (both the asking and the passing on)?

Your explanation is missing the "so they can make more profit by not having to hire real GPs".

Welcome home!

The exact same thing happened 90 years ago.

People are stupid.

It shows exactly what she is: a nasty backstabbing piece of work.

Try to imagine living in the area as a "foreigner". The number of times I was told to "fuck off home" by some toothless moron in a tracksuit, as soon as they heard me speak...

The sooner we can cast off from Little England, the better.

You'd expect that from a far-right or facist government, but from a Labour one?

The only crisp worth eating:

So this is how democracies drift into dictatorship.

The organs of state nod along. The satirists crack jokes and do no more. The press and other appeasers simply turn a blind eye. The people... for the most part... just groan & let it happen.

And very soon the future is no more.

You seem to read what you want to read.

All I wrote was that there is no law that requires the UK government to write out a referendum to get permission to do whatever. A statement of fact, nothing more, nothing less.

Again, read before commenting.

I never wrote it shouldn't. I only wrote that there is no law that says they have to.

Read what I wrote again.

There is no law that requires the UK government to consult the people via a referendum. So they don't have or need to (they didn't on lots of other trade deals).

Whether or not they should is a different matter entirely.

Like I wrote, they can "start the process"

Obviously. Hence "start the process".

There is no law that says the government has to. When it is in power, the government can rejoin whenever it wants too.

Having said that, I don't see Corbyn, and his well known attitude against the EU (especially freedom of movement), start the process.

Beats a Rupert.

The posts are NOT inappropriate. Not all nudity is porn, not all discussions about adult entertainment shows porn.

You fail to understand the impact of this blank sweep legistation. It also blocks all online forums about Trans for example, where teens could safely discuss their issues.

I am NOT a consumer or operator of adult material !

But the law still requires me to take all the steps, and to spend many thousands, on the off-chance someone posts something inappropriate (as you don't need an account to read, posts are public).

Familiarize yourself with the exact law text !

You need to be able to read first, before you start studing. I did exactly that.

You are a school example of what is wrong with politics this country. Only thinking about yourself, not how it may affect others, and not care about it if it does.

No. I compared your attitude about a law that doesn't affect you personally with the actions of ICE to people not affected by it.

This is were my ICE reference comes in.

You can't be bothered with its side effects of the blanked ill-concieved ban, because it doesn't affect you personally. And you don't give a toss about anyone else who is affected.

Which is symptomatic for politics these days, self centered thinking.

So I now have to put a UK geo block on this service, impacting all UK based users.

And I am far from the only one affected, every forum or online discussion platform will have the same problem, from mumsnet to the local model railway forum.

Because the law forces them to take action, just in case

As an example, I run a global online forum about digital media broadcasting. Because that includes adult TV channels, and I don't know the users, I need to add age verfication, separate discussions and employ moderators, to avoid issues with this law. This is not for profit, I can't afford that.

You need to learn to read.

I know what it is meant to do.

My point is that it won't, but it is making a lot of other things much harder. Things not related to porn at all. Like every public online forum or discussion platform, which now has to implement expensive technical measures to avoid falling foul of the law.

And that is the problem. Just because you're not affected personally, it shouldn't mean you shouldn't scrutinize it.

Saying this is like white republicans in the US saying they aren't bothered with what ICE is doing, because they aren't coming after them.
