Obviously nothing is to their credit. But the talk about tariffs is forcing the UK to look towards Europe more than they maybe would have, and a majority of Brexit voters are now in favour of joining the EU’s internal market.

It was just a tongue in cheek way of saying that the US’ only ally in the world is going to be the soaring Russian economy - even the Brits, who forcefully tied themself to the Mayflower mast, are now looking back to Europe.

In good personal news, a good friend of mine in the UK has landed a really good job in the UK working on the tariffs. I’m very happy for her. Silver linings. :)

Fuck Trump and the horse he rode in on (Musk), but he is doing wonders for UK/EU relations.

I don’t think independent forums exist in the eyes of many legislators. The internet equals big tech.

If they accidentally kill off the independent web they won’t even niotice. They’re probably still on X, thinking it’s stikl hip and unaware alternatives even exist. Never mind trying to explain them about independent forums.

This comment was brought to my attention as it was reported for being too dumb to exist.

As I’m not a moderator of this community, I’ll leave that judgment to others.

However, I will point out that the Online Safety Act was passed in 2023, towards the end of well over a decade of British politics being dominated by the Tories. Labour only won the election in 2024.

So, despite popular belief, the liberals are not the ones taking your rights away. Unless you consider Cameron, May, Johnson, Truss, and Sunak to be liberals, of course. Which you might, as nobody using the word “liberal” seems to have even the faintest idea what it means any more.

The Online Safety Act is not about regulating TikTok, it’s about surveillance underneath a thin veil of protecting children. And it is very much a Tory piece of work.
