Seeing how Iran is attacking every country around it, probably a good thing they started it.

Pro-Palestinian march banned after government approves Met request

In reply to Dave's message of 11 Mar 2026:

Pro-Palestinian march banned after government approves Met request

"Organisers of the annual Al Quds Day march insist it is a peaceful, pro-Palestinian event, but the march has previously been criticised for representing the views of the Iranian regime."

Police time will no longer be wasted investigating legal social media posts, freeing up officers to patrol the streets and tackle real crime.

By scrapping Non‑Crime Hate Incidents, we are balancing the protection of vulnerable communities while respecting free speech.
Over recent years, guidance has failed to keep pace with the digital age and has led to officers being called out to people’s homes over insults and routine arguments.

New measures announced today, will introduce a new system that will prevent police from recording lawful free speech.
Forces will continue to ensure that reports from the public, which may lead to genuine harm, get the right response.

It's about to happen?

And then he'll decide he's the last and best and only PM the UK will need until it's Palestine in the North Sea. Don't worry, we're to follow soon after.

Okay, make of it what you want: DAN HODGES: My sources tell me Keir has decided to stand down, but he'll do it on his terms

Surveillance Is Not Safety: A statement on the UK's latest threat to privacy

June 8, 2026

Children deserve to be safe, protected, and nurtured. They do not deserve surveillance,
funding cuts, and cover-ups. Children also deserve their human right to privacy, as does
everyone. The UK governmentʼs demand that all content on all devices sold or used in the
UK be scanned on the presumption of nudity, using a dystopian combination of age
verification and content scanning, will not safeguard children. It endangers us all, whilst
strengthening Apple, Google, and Microsoft's market dominance and their control over our
most personal information.

Forcing all UK residents to prove their age and/or have all their content scanned, simply to
exercise their fundamental right to communicate, is a perilous proposition. We know that
mass surveillance and censorship capabilities, however sincere-sounding the promises of
those who initiate them are, never remain narrowly scoped. Once created, they will be
expanded, forming a dangerous tool that will be wielded both in the UK and abroad to
censor and surveil whatever they might consider “threatsˮ or “harmful content.ˮ

Promises that this system will only run on-device are cold comfort. Wherever it runs,
including the “cameraˮ itself once it is in place on UK devices - its scope will be defined by
the whims and proscriptions of the government to detect nudity today and political speech
tomorrow. We know from history that once in place, there will be an inevitable authoritarian
expansion of the kind of content and people these technologies will be expected to surveil.
We also know such tools will be leveraged to automatically report people to government
authorities. We have already seen law enforcement agencies ask for similar widely-scoped
powers which are ripe for exploitation in an increasingly tenuous political landscape.

This proposal will not keep children safe. Child safety looks like well-funded education,
robust social services, and meaningful guardrails on the very AI technologies and platforms
the current government is eagerly courting. What the UK government wants instead is
invisible surveillance infrastructure, switched on by default and potentially rushed into law
under cynical pretexts. All of this with scant care for the actual needs of the children they
claim to be protecting or the horrifying and far-ranging consequences that will ensue in
practice
