Still in the committee stages afaik
while the Tories have a large majority, they also have a pretty strong libertarian contingent with allies across the house, inc. Corbyn and other prominent MPs
@skells yeah idk. you lot don't have a good track record so far
@skells you can be jailed for up to 15 years for being racist online. Their is a special hotline to report non crime hate incidents which get stored in a gov't database and are revealed during a common background check oh and your government is planning to end online anonymity
@Terry your government ended online anonymity 20 years ago, stop pretending Britain is worse and look after your own front yard
@skells britain is objectively worse than the states regarding 1A. You have to stop smoking crack
@Terry not all of us feel that spouting racial slurs is the be-all-and-end-all of freedom
the law's bullshit but given most Brits aren't particularly racists I'll take it here over the US
Texas looks kinda chill tho
