    Kier Starmer is an authoritarian twat who is setting up some scary surveillance shit to hand to, sadly, Reform. Who will be much worse.

    I am once again condemning the UK for building a surveillance state beyond what Orwell could truly envision.

      Yeah things are really looking bleak over there. That plus their recent attacks on free speech (you can get arrested for supporting “Palestinian action”) paint a very dystopian picture for the future of the UK

        Did you ever bother to look into why Palestine Action was singled out? How one of their members assaulted someone with a hammer or something?

        You can support Palestine without supporting that group, lol.

            Would you say the same if one member of a group was a Nazi? No, you’d rightly assume they’re all nazis.

              Nice ASSumption. Actually, yeah, I’d say exactly the same. Human rights are human rights. Fortunately, it isn’t up to people like you to decide who gets them

                Guy who wants to not ban groups that assault people doesn’t want people to have the right to decide and vote on human rights. The irony.

    Policing Minister, Sarah Jones said: "I welcome today’s ruling because there can be no true liberty when people live in fear of crime in their communities.

    Sarah Jones is someone who should live in fear, and the fact she doesn’t, is the real danger to society.

    That is horrid. I would never leave my house without a mask. Fuck that.

    Or maybe invest in some of those anti surveillance full face masks.

    They ain’t doing this for YOUR benefit or protection.

      Wait till you read about gait recognition. Add that to data streams consolidated by Palantir tracking your gps via cell phone, purchase tracking, and they don’t really need to see your face. They can still track you by your cars registration plates with enough accuracy.

      They will have a 90% tracking rate regardless of your face being behind a mask.
