  • He might have done a few surprisingly acceptable things as of late, but let’s not forget him destroying that schools building/repairing/upgrading project (which is why a large chunk of school buildings are now dangerous), then completely ruining secondary education with pointless, backwards reforms, loudly supporting and championing the destruction of the NHS to be replaced by a private subscription model etc…

    His impact has generally been to meddle, alter, ruin and destroy, against the experience, knowledge, research and expertise of anyone who knows anything within the field and instead promoting wildly ill-thought-out early 20th century Tory whims because he’s “Had enough of listening to experts”.

    Apologies for the rant, but he’s been high up on my “worst humans in the country” list for over a decade - though he’s been knocked down the list a little as of late, because who can compete with Mel Stride, Priti Patel, Jacob Rees-Mogg, Suella Braverman etc.






  • This is very badly implemented. I might be misunderstanding, but it looks like they’re not protecting children by removing far-right material or other assorted bullshit, they’re “protecting children” by collecting more personal data on all users (or viewers).

    “We want you to protect children by forcing all users (and unregistered viewers) to give you their passports and bank details, and we want you to use their telephone and laptop cameras to record their faces. Store all the data wherever you like, and feel free to sell it on/use it however you like, we totally believe you won’t do anything shady or abusive for profit”








  • Okay, so you’re going to ban targeted marketing and online advertising, right?

    No?

    Ah, so the plan is to introduce comprehensive support and counselling for stress and mental health issues in young people, meaning they won’t have to turn to these things to cope with their depressing, stressful lives?

    No?

    Ah, got you - you’re going to improve the individual lives and prospects of all citizens, creating a utopian nation, so they can each look forward to a healthy prosperous future and genuinely have nothing to worry about?

    No?
