Off topic but does the UK still have the death penalty for treason? Just wondering.

I'm baffled that all this tracking nonsense is pushed through by a government that is supposed to be left of the tories. I guess that goes to show you that "center" parties can be just as evil as conservatives.
They aren't left. Starmer and chums undermined the left-wing leader of Labour. They're the pro-business wing of the party. New Labour folks were always dreadful for this sort of thing. Many authoritarian changes are coming from the centre, in UK, France, Denmark etc.
It all feels co-ordinated as states and their representatives squeeze down on working people.
I know they aren't left, that's why I wrote "left of the tories". They are centrist and how Starmer ever managed to become prime minister is beyond me. That guy as a suit through and through.
You are exactly where the US was thirty or so years ago. Get ready for the hard push right to try to "attract the moderate Tories".
Get ready for something they were doing 20 years ago?
I don't know about you guys but this feels like a reverse psychology psyop to increase the usage of these two apps. There are a ton more e2ee chat messengers, but they point to the only two apps using the signal protocol. Maybe they're sitting on some 0-day exploits?
But if you want to believe the surveillance government at face value then go right ahead.
Gosh, and these powers could be handed to Farage.
They could be complicit in what comes next.
Farage will definitively not dismiss this opportunity - this and more is what he craves. Fascism will be pushed harder down the throats of the working class which will go a step further than the already fascist attempts at taking away rights of young people.
What the fuck happened to UK, I knew their average population was dumb when brexit happened but they doubled down on it?
People ran so hard from the Tories that they didn't consider Blue Labour would be dreadful also. Right now Labour and Tories are politically in danger and Reform and the Green Party are surging. Folk are fed up of parties not representing them. They just haven't fully cottoned on that that also applies to Reform. Greens are probably the main hope right now. Membership trebled to 180k. Polling close to Labour.
