    Reducing UK security is probably not a good idea at the best of times, let alone these days with global tensions increasing.

    And for that feat, UK will not rejoin the EU for another decade. This is a very undemocratic move the UK is doing here.

      The EU is trying to do this at an EU level (and has been for years). As well as an individual country level, Sweden seems likely to pass a similar law in 2026.

      Yeah Spain’s doing the same thing though so I don’t think it’s got anything to do with the EU.

    I absolutely detest it when politicians are just this fuckin’ clueless. I rather hope the lot of them have their bank accounts tampered with.

      From now on; whenever they can’t find incriminating messages elsewhere, they will come to you. You suspicious, secret, something to hide-guy.

      Everyone deserves private communication.

    Welp…

    Guess they don’t really need to confirm that which is blatantly obvious to the casual observer…
