2030 approaches. Tick tock. No one went to prison so the destruction of Western civilization continues.

Never underestimate the ability of authoritarians to be authoritative! USA tried it in the 1970’s fuel crisis with the 55mph speed limit. It proved more dangerous with increased cases of drivers falling asleep at the wheel. Raised the speed limit to 70-80mph and incidents of falling asleep at the shell dropped, be because at 80mph, drivers pay attention, at 50mph they don’t. Authoritarians don’t do policy for safety, they do it for control!

Controlling speech is a hallmark of all authoritarian systems. Creasy here, wants to introduce the great firewall of the UK. [for the greater good] Creasy cannot comprehend this kind of state power in the hands of her political opponents. Don't be like Stella.

Labour Stella Creasy is a socialist, a Marxist. She's not informed, but she understands that lying, cheating, and violating oaths is acceptable if it futhers the goal of global socialism.

If you don’t like a conversation, you walk away. Especially when you realize as obviously this Creasy person has, that your stance is like a colander, full of holes. But she’s refusing to walk away, she wants to ban you right to speak freely on a subject to engage in debate. That’s a misuse of power, that hedging towards a dictator state. Do as I say or I will put you behind bars as a deterrent to others ! The United Kingdom has a huge huge problem.

Good 'eavens, I just heard Wes Streeting talk a bit of sense. Buy British dry docks. When British co's are paid, a decent amount comes back in tax. Not so if offshored.

I know a few retired couples who have worked really hard & paid taxes all their lives. Not wealthy, who own just regular 2 bed semis or a small bungalow. They go to Spain during the winter months to save on crazy electricity, gas & food bills. Because ours are unaffordable on a pension. And because they can get outdoors in better weather. Are Labour going to steal their houses? We become more Stalin like every single day under this horrid government. If you want to see a government that’s killed more of its own people look to a communist one. I loath the politics of greed & envy. It’s self destructive & ultimately corrupt. As those in charge are never equal to those they control! The rules don’t apply to them.

All people should condemn the intimidation tactics deployed by Stand Up To Racism, because when the democratic process breaks down, the only remaining option is violence. Respect the democratic process.
What has happened to our Restore Britain team on the streets of Holborn and St Pancras, again, is a democratic outrage.

All democracies should withdraw from the UN and proscribe the WEF and it's members for conspiring to undermine democracies worldwide. Just a thought.

@jayanndee Fancy commenting then switching off replies! Hopefully my comments come from common sense, not dogma. Any similarity to trump is purely coincidental.

🚨The conspiracy theory of personal carbon allowances just got closer. Yesterday, an official EU advisory opinion requested by the European Commission called for the upcoming Circular Economy Act to include measures aimed at reducing consumption. Oh. A proposal written last year to influence that SAME Act laid out tradable personal CO₂ allowances. For things like Travel Heating Electricity Food Goods Services This proposal says if you use less than your allowance? You can sell the surplus. If you use more then you have to buy someone else’s. All using smartphones, digital tracking and AI, your carbon allowance could potentially be calculated, monitored and traded from your mobile. The rich will be able to do whatever they like but buying carbon credits and the increasingly poorer will do without. How’s that for control 🚨

It's not too late to get private. People say it doesn't matter anymore. Everything's already collected. The surveillance state already won. Why bother? They're missing the bigger picture. Yes, they have a lot of data. But data goes stale. Profiles change. Systems need fresh input to stay accurate. You need to cut the flow of data off. Every time you stop feeding the machine, you degrade their model of you. Every encrypted message. Every cash transaction. Every tracker you block. It matters. The defeatist attitude is exactly what they want. If you believe resistance is pointless, you won't resist. You'll keep complying. Keep feeding the system. That's how they win. Not through technology. Through your surrender. They want you to think it's too late because they know it's not. Start now. Every action counts. 👁️

It may help you to understand the Labour Party is inhabited by the Fabian Society with >200 MPs. It’s a socialist policy think tank which produces all their policies. Starmer and Burnham are both members. Burnham was just a change of conductor.

I'm no Trump lover but I was very happy to hear his attitude to the globalist shysters pushing the global govt, which I took to mean the UN Agenda 2030 and Davos crowd.

Technical facts disproving political and tech claims on online child safety: Protecting children online requires knowing who is a child. Knowing who is a child requires knowing ages. Knowing ages requires knowing everyone's age across all devices, apps, and internet services. That requires age checking services. Age checking services cannot comply with government mandates to be "robust". "Robust" age checking originated in Australia and is now in US and EU legislation. It means "best endeavours" with specific legal intent. "Robust" age checking requires proving age beyond doubt. Age estimation services can never be "robust". You cannot have a "robust" service without verifying everyone's identity through government issued ID or extensive personal, financial, or behavioural data. Without enough data, device, app, or service access is denied until official ID is provided. Verifying every identity destroys privacy. Storing verification data on servers creates instant risk. Identity verification enables governments to monitor citizens and censor speech. As Larry Ellison said, people change behaviour when monitored through digital surveillance. Parents can already protect children from online harms using existing technology. In 2012, I demonstrated poor parental controls on BBC Newsnight, leading me to build early safety tools for Samsung and Apple. I also built the first Android time curfew capability 14 years ago. Today, iOS and Android offer built in controls to block unsuitable apps, websites, and content by age rating, alongside granular curfews. Real world risks like bullying exist online, but parents can manage access just as they manage real world exposure. Exhibit A: If parents can already block access for free on their own phones, why do governments push legislation that forces identity collection, exposing data to cybercriminals and tech companies? Exhibit B: Why are governments, tech companies, and NGOs not educating parents on existing settings that are free of charge and "robust", even while citing tragic cases to push legislation? In 2004, I co-founded the W3C standard for Content Labelling and URI Classification, co-inventing account and folder classification to label content based on risk and compliance. I advocated for voluntary account verification to stop impersonation long before people knew it was even possible. Mandatory identity verification to use a phone or internet service is dystopian control. I would never advocate or support that. I have advised the US DOJ, NCMEC, CEOP, and IWF on child exploitation detection. EU Chat Control and UK image scanning mandates will not tackle exploitation. They break end to end encryption and VPNs, introducing dangerous spyware, and puts more children at risk.

The reason for ALL the engineered global instability & crisis. Their greed & mismanagement made them rich & broke our financial system. They designed a new financial system & instructed the World "You have to do it" They were/are willing to kill, destroy Nations & start Wars to hold on to their financial power. These people should be in JAIL You would be.
