REMOVE FISH'N'CHIPS

[Van Darkholme]

Soon they won't be allowed to sell beer at all.

Things are looking up!

While it's a ridiculous law the people who get jailed are usually the type of person who signs up to troll on social media using their real name and a real photo of themselves as their avatar.

The problem with the last few elections is the leader of Conservatives was known for supporting this kind of nonsense but it was also the only credible party who was pro Brexit/ending open borders with Europe. (We are pretty much in a two party system right now)

 

[Aristophanes]

Theresa May has an extremely poor record when it comes to human rights, so this isn't surprising. Not to mention that this is the most right-wing Tory government the UK has had in years, and the only one who has tried to force control of the internet this much.

So it isn't "leftie snowflakes" that won at all - it's actually Tory power-grabbers and the sabre rattling Daily Mail readerbase.

 

[DoctorJimmyRay]

If a brit wants to post here, then thats on them. They should be aware of the risks given they live there.

I'd be more concerned about the UK possibly reporting the site to Google with a complaint. If not blocking the tea guzzlers, then what other ways are there to shield our beloved Farms from such retribution?

 

[LazarusOwenhart]

Meh. This law is designed to target the kind of people who get their kicks vandalizing Facebook tribute/memorial pages with dead baby jokes and porn. There's a long, highly populous list of teenagers and demented shut-ins for them to get through before they start fining British Kiwis for discussing the idiotic antics of a person who is infamous by personal choice. You wanna ban us, cool I'll use TOR but if not I don't think I have much to worry about.

 

[Tennis Monkey]

Lol, nobody cares. This will mean nothing.

Honestly, I doubt this will amount to anything.

As far as I can tell, this is just a way for HM Government to make a big deal of spending some money on what sounds like some new software for the cops and look like they're doing something about something that periodically hits the headlines, usually when MPs/celebrities complain about being abused on Twitter (the media barely understands how any of this works, and "Twitter trolls" is nice and alliterative).

There isn't some kind of massive public controversy about online trannies being insulted in forums for being weirdos with weird opinions. No-one cares about that stuff. It's all about the sort of nutter whose response to anything politically controversial is to send tweets threatening death/rape to whatever politician they deem responsible and their family, direct to the politician.

That's not what KF is supposed to be about anyway.

Anyway, the Government has a small majority in Parliament, is mostly pre-occupied with Brexit and at the moment is just about barely holding together. They are in no position to launch huge crusades about anything right now.

 

[Umaibae]

LOL your top sources include Breitbart and the Daily Mail. Super trustworthy sites totally not built upon clickbait garbage designed to incite impassioned reactions from right-wing keyboard warriors, right?

 

[Hui]

lol @Melchett you going to jail.

 

[Broseph Stalin]

Don't wanna sound like a total shill, but if you want a decent internet browser with a built-in VPN, I'd suggest switching to Opera. I've been using it for awhile now. It's also free.

 

[Miss Walsh]

What you have to remember here is they don't mean 'trolls', what they mean is people who disagree with politicians or members of minority groups on social media, or who dare to vote for right-leaning parties other than the tories.

yeah britain is pretty big on these huge laws that theoretically grant the government insane powers but they usually use them to hassle people for putting their recycling in the regular bin

Are you suggesting that the British government has not, in fact, just announced that it's creating a task force for arresting internet trolls for hate crimes? Have we been bamboozled by fake news so brazenly false that it can just invent things and then claim national governments are doing those things, and we'd never even know how wrong we were if it wasn't for you coming in here to let us know that Breitbart, of all places, might not be up to the commonly-held standards of modern journalism?

Fuckin idiot lol.

That shit is already illegal, though. What's the need?

 

[Chemical snorfare]

Meh, this is the tory party trying bolster its own support. Fact is most tories wonder where the pilot light on their PC is.

I'll start worrying about this on the day that Trump picks up a trowel and mortar board.

It's a good thing I cited fucking 5 more you tard, and the articles are literally just direct quotes. What the fuck do you want? Kill yourself you teasucking faggot.

 

[Star Stuff]

God bless 'murica. Sorry you couldn't keep up with us, britbongs, maybe burn a few government buildings with Nazi signs and junk?

I can't believe I used to want to live in the U.K.

 

[Crass_and_Champ]

ENGLAND 1880: FUCK AFRICA FUCK INDIA WE'RE TAKING IT ALL
ENGLAND 2017: u better not post that meme or it's off to jail with you ya cheeky cunt, inshallah

 

[UselessRubberKeyboard]

The tea had better be good in prison. Hmph.

But yeah, due to massive cuts in funding the police are next to invisible here everywhere but football games and parliament. You'll be lucky if you get to see a copper if you report anything less than a murder. Everyday stuff like car theft and burglary is shrugged off as not worth the effort to investigate. Given the propensity for insane troons to report every single perceived online slight as a death threat, I'm pretty sure that this whole thing will come crashing down before it barely begins anyway.

 

[Sable]

I don't think the government will be able to enforce any of this 'cause they're too busy trying not to collapse- if it's not somewhere really out in the open like Facebook and you're not using your actual name they'll be too busy not punishing migrants or gypsies to care. The whole thing's a dick-waving contest that no-one who actually votes cares about.

With the way these things normally go, May would normally have been knifed by now, politically speaking at least- if she'd had any balls she'd have thrown Rudd into a furnace anyway because literally no-one likes Rudd. The only reason they're still around is that Jezza is a literal friend to fucking Hamas.

 

[Miss Walsh]

There's a massive trend in the western world of banning things that are already illegal.
