Make it public!

The call is getting louder for a public hearing of the appeal over the UK's order to break Apple encryption.

Alongside the joint letter from ORG, Big Brother Watch and Index on Censorship, UK MPs, US Congress Members and the BBC want the secrecy to end.

Starmer's cosy pre-election dinner with Trump, not Harris

They are for not us, they are for Trump

We're not saying the UK Government is always out of ideas, but.....

#NHSEngland #NHS #UKPOL #Ukpolitics

And no Politician is going to be brave enough to point out what a dirty lie it is?
Or if they do, they get so many death threats that they're eventually chased out of Westminster.

Does that sound democratic to you?

It's like people don't trust this Labour government at all, that we could believe they would abolish the WHOLE of the NHS.
We just don't trust them. Six months in and we know they're about the Rich and not about us. Occasionally we get little crumbs from the table, but it's not bold, it's not radical, and that is what we want now. Real Change, not more "Rich People get to win"

The Government stopped funding for Tell Mama, an organisation fighting Islamophobia. Another favour to Trump?

Starmer and Streeting are selling out the NHS to Trump.
We had suspected it, we're now getting into how they intend to do it.

@zbrown Not necessarily. I know ppl like to judge #LibDems on the Clegg coalition. There r 2 problems w/ that. Clegg and Cable were no different to Blair, and on top of that were just Cameron stooges to give the tories a maj. Clegg was only in it for the Bentley and the office. Davey is a disabled carer and understands disability. I believe firmly that he has a different ethic to the 'democrat' animals that preceded him. I hope so, cos if I am proven wrong i'll just give up on #ukpolitics #UKPol

See, the problem here is I'd like to call for a general election, but that's wound up being a far-right dog-whistle, and even if it wasn't such an election can basically only lead to a far-right government at this stage.

But then again, maybe we already have one…

New Scientist has used freedom of information laws to obtain the ChatGPT records of Peter Kyle, the UK's technology secretary, in what is believed to be a world-first use of such legislation

These records show that Kyle asked ChatGPT to explain why the UK’s small and medium business (SMB) community has been so slow to adopt AI. ChatGPT returned a 10-point list of problems hindering adoption, including sections on “Limited Awareness and Understanding”, “Regulatory and Ethical Concerns” and “Lack of Government or Institutional Support”.

White folk in Britain should watch Steve McQueen's 'Small Axe' series and educate ourselves on how racist our State was/is.

A different sort of Racism from what we see in America, but institutionalised racism all the same.

But of course, Wes Streeting know better than all these people. Look at his nice suits, his carefully managed hair, the way he smiles right through you like you don't exist....

More reactions, and Wes Streeting going back on his word (shock!)

“There is significant public interest in knowing when and on what basis the UK government believes that it can compel a private company to undermine the privacy and security of its customers.”

ORG, Big Brother Watch and Index on Censorship call for the Tribunal into the UK government's secret order for Apple to break encryption to be held in public.

The case happens TOMORROW.

Nobody wants to be there.
Nobody wants to be standing there, listening to him prattle on with his carefully arranged speeches and fake authenticity.

"I'm harming you all for your own good. I am not a Tory, even though I look, sound and act like one. There will be no questions afterwards."

Imagine being a Government minister and asking a mindless machine a question like "why aren't Small to Medium businesses taking up AI?"

Because Peter, they haven't found a business use for it, that's why. It's a toy looking for a serious purpose outside of Fascism
