“Under the proposals it would be a criminal offence for a member of the Senedd, or a candidate for election to the Senedd, to wilfully, or with intent to mislead, make or publish a statement that is known to be false or deceptive.”
I think candidate for election would cover that.
Sorry citizen, every time you enter the bar we’ve got to take a swab from your genitals to check that since you were last here you haven’t fucked any kids.
Fucking ridiculous. If you want to prevent CSAM spreading across Europe do this instead:
Investigation and surgical removal of the whole rotten ring of kid fuckers will curve CSAM creation and distribution in the EU.
Then preventative measures to stop creators/ consumers of CSAM because prevention is more effective than trying to cure it.
Child sexual abuse is one of, if not the most evil act someone can commit and they should face very steep punishment for it. And anyone proposing any policy offering help to reform them is committing political suicide.
But ignoring the fact that people have the capacity to commit an evil act of that magnitude, demonising them, and then offering no support network to prevent them is not going to solve the problem. It doesn’t work for any crime and certainly not this.
Until your knees & thighs start burning.
/c/helldivers2 is leaking again
Maybe “Ban this book if you are gay”.
You know, since these pearl clutchers have the intelligence of middle schoolers maybe applying the same deterrence logic.
Time to write a sequel Alan.
And thus the inherent dichotomy of a decentralised social network is revealed: social networks require the network effect for good senses of communities which means one instance will end up hosting most of the bigger communities, therefore true decentralisation can’t occur on Lemmy but it’s a step in the right direction.
This 100% this.
As much as I am left-of-centre I respect all MPs that are local to their constituency and actually listen to their concerns with proper surgery hours. This method of political parties parachuting in politicians is one of many issues with the way representative democracy has been implemented in this country.
We can gloat now, but I fear that the Tories will veer further right to get back into power.
Every dimension of the world is heating up and everyone is getting desperate.
The common folk are clawing for change and will grasp anything to take back some power. The elites are feeling the walls close in around them and will lash out at any perceived threat to their position.
Once Labour win, we’ll have 5 years to prepare for worse times to come, 10 maximum. It’s not going to be pretty after that.
I want off this fucking sinking island, before it pulls me under with it. But I fear there’s nowhere else to run to, no shelter to ride out the storm. Humanity has never faced the collapse of a global civilization before, and I feel a lot of us will see it happen before we depart this world.
So Starmer got glittered. Nigel got his traditional milkshaking. What’s Rishi gonna get?
Options one has to discover for oneself. Keep asking that question, one day the answer may become clear.
What are you, ConfuciusGPT?
I thought we were having a discussion about the current UK electoral politics.
I’d very much like to hear what you think the other valid options the UK general public has to make an impact at this election.
Please enlighten me.
What are the other options?
Well that’s it. Once they get into power keep applying the pressure.
That’s what the StopTheTories.vote group are planning to do with their agenda to get a form of proportional representation to replace FPTP once the Tories are out.
The only other option is armed revolution and good luck rolling the dice on that in this country given how it’s gone previously (gestures to all of UK rebellion history) I’ll be out of the country for that one.
So the writer means Starmer pulled it from a fringe left unelectable mess of in-fighting (in a first-past-the-post system and Murdoch dominated press) to a left-of-centre party that’s trying to win over as many voters as possible to get a overwhelming majority in parliament.
I don’t like how centrist the current form of the labour party is, but at least there’s a chance of them listening to us once in power.
What y’all are forgetting is that when it comes to dominating a technology space, historically, it’s not proving the better product, is providing the cheapest/widest available product. With the goal being to capture enough of the market to get and retain that dominant position. Nobody knows what the threshold is for that until years later when the dust has settled.
So from Google’s perspective if a new or current rival is going to get there first, then just push it out and fix it live. What are people going to do? Switch to Bing?
So is you want Google to stop doing this dumb broken LLM shite, use the network effect against them. Switch to a different search provider and browser and encourage all of your friends and family to do so as well.
That’s something I’d like to see. Never going to happen in the UK.
In the 2008 financial crisis, I think Iceland was the only country to jail their irresponsible bankers.
That’s a fair point I hadn’t considered.
Then goodbye every UK resident’s pension that are invested in the water companies.
That’s why they’re “too big to fail”. You let them fail, you’ll throw people who are about 40 to 50 years old into further reliance on the state pension.
Better to prosecute the C-level executives and take the company back into public ownership.
When a whippet has better style than me…
