UkPol, right to protest. 

‘Hostile, authoritarian’ UK downgraded in civic freedoms index.

This is a stain on our country. Tories need to be ousted, and this needs to be fixed, asap.

Gah! First two tyres needed replacing, then the other two needed replacing, and now the damned boot lock is buggered! 😩

The UK needs something like CSPAN, but exempt from tv "licensing". Participating in democracy shouldn't have a price tag.

My favorite past time: Using arbitrary fractions to describe the time... "It is currently two sevenths to 3"

BBC Director General Tim Davie says that the corporation's impartiality guidelines are "equally applied to people being critical of the left and the right."

Apart from when it isn't.

If you like your family and don’t like paying solicitors, make a will.

Good grief! In place of MOTD Women's super league, BBC has substituted a programme by that well-known impartial GBNews presenter, Neil Oliver,
They must be kidding!

The BBC clearly think Match Of The Day viewers want to see another own goal.

Good thing the UK government hasn’t yet gone full-fascist: it would be terrible for someone to lose their job for stating the fucking obvious while working for the impartial state broadcaster controlled by chums and donors of those in power.

GOOD GRIEF
"BBC will not broadcast Attenborough episode over fear of rightwing backlash"

And they have the nerve to complain about tweet

Remember during the pandemic, there were certain people in UK “civic tech” spaces bemoaning the fact Apple and Google wouldn’t allow contact tracing apps that didn’t fall within their rules, saying “why should big tech be able to override sovereign states?”

The government may change the Data Protection and Digital Information Bill to 'include allowing online marketeers greater use of so-called “legitimate interest” arguments for collecting people’s information and the ability for private companies to similarly obtain such personal information for scientific research.'

If this is true, the revised #DPDIBill is even more of a threat to our data protection rights. The Bill must be scrapped.

Weird that modern-day inhuman fascists don’t like being likened to other inhuman fascists of yore. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
