Locking down the internet is a huge deal too, they are setting up every ip, every account, connected to a name and face and connected with all other information running it through half baked ai threat detection by companies like palantir to make secret social scores to determine everything. Not just there, everywhere, all this age verification, chatcontrol, it's trojan horses, (or trojan sheep as the case may be,) to employ these new ai tools, to surrender the population to tech for a cut of the information, which will surrender your information to the US as well make no mistake. Obviously yours in the UK is "ours" already my special partner!
Very concerned here obviously as one would guess. We are fucked, I don't want to see Europe also fall to fascists that have every intention of fixing elections for the worst people in the world to remain in permanent control. We will be helping your fascists, secretly and openly, any confidential communications with other candidates, scandals, etc, you should presume the US is sharing with the fascists to help them win, it doesn't matter how much starmer strokes off the president. All of these changes starmer makes are guarenteeing "reform" gets the vote for reform, just as the Republicans did here, as "our" politicians, labour and the democrats, are running as status quo and deeply unpopular and not trying to be popular.
The west is going to fall like dominoes barring some real leadership that is not forthcoming because we somehow still trust the controlled opposition of the oligarchs that have captured all of our parties. The far right backed by Putin and now the US are the only ones running as reform, as populist albeit more fake populist as they are mostly scapegoating.
We need real leaders now, even if in just one country, in the UK, in Europe, it can spread.
