Some of them might have voted remain so a bit unfair lets just eat leave voters instead.
Way too salty
and bitter
Feed them to the pigs instead
1000 dystopian scenarios play out in my head in an instant upon reading this
ugh
As Iâve quoted previously, âCivilisation is only nine meals away from anarchyâ.
Similar worry over the supply of medicines for me. The thinly veiled is type one diabetic, and Iâd be similarly concerned for anyone who routinely medicates a condition
yeah
the existing ones + 1000 more
Brexit as an expedient cover & excuse for extreme monitoring, social control & ultra-conformism
Isnât TM a diabetic as well? Think sheâd have thought about that. Oh actuallyâŚ
Well the original first Cabinet meeting on Spitting Image had the point made that they were all too boring and indistinguishable and needed to find ways to make themselves memorable. Lamont is eating a yoghurt so he just puts the empty pot on his head and thus their running joke was started.
Oh right.
Guys, I told marckee something he didnât know/couldnât Google!
I take a modicum of comfort in the fact that while a Tory government might want to do that, they probably wouldnât be able to. Not because of votes or political power or anything like that, but out of ineptitude. Conservatives are basically shit at running countries. Even if they did have designs for a massive surveillance state, theyâd tender it out to G4S who would spend a ton of money doing nothing.
Like universal credit - the party was behind IDS and wanted to do it, but instead managed to burn ÂŁ16 billion completely fucking it up. And IDS just walked away from it!
Actually doing things, good or bad - i.e. governing - isnât really what the Tory party is about, donât think theyâre about to start now.
(Not to say the situation canât get worse or anything, just that I have grave doubts about a Tory partyâs ability to effect active change, even if they wanted to)
yup, especially after withdrawal from EU data protection directives - which will immediately mean that all personal, private data is market capitalised anyway
social control usage allied to citizenship status allied to criminal record allied to ethnic family history allied to credit score âŚhooked up to AI & IoT - some of it front-facing & ALL of it internally collected & administered
why does the future look so Fascistic?
It was before my time.
yeah but it wonât be the Tory party managing it - itâll be an Amazon or Google or Zuckerberg supercomputer G4S just providing the âhuman faceâ
urgh
The idea of G4S or Capita trying to do this both amuses and horrifies me in equal measure.
Yeah quite possibly - I can see Google/Amazon/Facebook using the UK as a test subject for a full online surveillance state, prior to rollout in the USA. At least it will take the Tories at least five years to get the thing started, which gives them plenty of time to lose the next election and face political oblivion for generations
Youâre heard their theme tune, right? Whoever âcomposedâ that clearly had this very form of public facing world domination in mind.
sorry, whose theme tune? You mean G4S?
Taking a knee - lose 200 patriot points
