The UK government is turning increasingly dystopian and Starmer is increasingly looking like the Austrian painter before he went on a sightseeing tour of Europe... The Government is actively planning to remove Jury trials from most cases, censoring the internet and social media over the slightest thing that doesn't support the official narrative and is trying desperately to bring in its despised Digital Identity system in an effort to totally control the British people. Added to this, the fact that he is doing everything possible to avoid having elections and changing the rules to entrench his sinister party into permanent power, we have a lot to worry about. So when Mr Trump started collecting foreign leaders, we did have a bit of a surge of hope that he might add Number 10 to the places he recruited from!

I don't quite get the folks here who are on Nostr because X and Meta suck, but they still defend X and Meta because they're poor American BigTech harassed by the communist EU/UK - at least that seems to be the logic of some people here 😆 The problem is, in USA you've got class action which can beat the hell out of fuckers like Alex Jones who got $1.2 billion (!) penalty for his lies on Sandy Hook. EU or UK has no such legal instruments over US companies because no private person is going to hire US lawyers from EU/UK to fight with a multi-billion dollar US company in the US, so they're using legal tools available in Europe in order to take the fight to their jurisdiction. And that's reasonable thing to do.
