I assume they think he's going to calmly and clearly explain how he was misquoted earlier and their pet journo is just going to sit there and nod away politely what is actually going to happen is he'll be asked one softball question and immediately dig himself an even bigger hole, get angry and start shouting at everyone and the journo is going to monster him because if there's one thing the BBC loves it's putting the boot in

To be fair Diane Abbott has also said similar. I strongly disagree because I see it as a further erosion of civil liberties and wide open for abuse, but the idea isn't that you can't post anonymously but rather that Twitter/Facebook/etc. have a record of your name and address so if you post something illegal they can be compelled to reveal it. In practice it would never work without China-level restriction of the internet, since most social media sites aren't hosted in the UK so you'd basically have to threaten them with country-wide blocking to get them to agree. But I can't get all "get in the bin" about Diane Abbott even if it is a poo poo idea.

There was a completely logical solution right on the shelf for that one too, mandate the minimum sale size to be 5L. A 5L jug of concentrated sulphuric acid weighs over 9kg, so nobody will be carrying that around on the street, and transferring it to a smaller container with the intent of using it as a weapon is already seriously illegal under the Firearms Act. But also, I can't get all "get in the bin" about Diane Abbott because enough people hate her for terrible reasons, I just wish that the first thought politicians had regarding an issue was "is there a creative solution" rather than "can I ban X to look tough?"

I wish any politician of any party and none would cease making comments about 'what to do about social media / IT / computers' when 99.9% of them are complete ignoramuses on the topics and are entirely clueless of (a) implications of their suggestions should they prove workable and (b) impossibility of implementing most of what they suggest. Honestly, this former MP I know nearly burst out crying when I gave his wife an old 'flat panel' monitor of mine instead of the old lumpy 'tv style' one he had. He said to her "where have all my files gone?" (He thought they lived in the monitor). It was almost like that scene from Zoolander when the two guys are looking for files 'in the computer'. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2uHBhKTSe0

I tried to buy some sulphuric acid drain cleaner recently, and it's all gone "trade only". Very annoying.

Hydrochloric acid seems to be the one remaining one that you can buy at what's considered standard concentrated. Which is odd because that would also be extremely unpleasant if someone used it as a weapon, and also randomly releases chlorine or hydrogen chloride with other cleaning agents, which is less than ideal. Nitric was the first to go because you could theoretically use it to do a terrorism even though the actual terrorist bombings tended to use completely different methods, like 'stealing semtex from the army' in the case of the pro ones and 'sticking some poo poo off ebay in a plastic bucket and hiding in the toilets' in the case of the not so pro ones. This is why the BMJ wants them legal, so that that doesn't happen. Guavanaut fucked around with this message at 00:50 on Oct 24, 2020 |

We should stop all benefits across the country in case any of that money is used to buy a ten bag. If you become unemployed you can live in the G4S housing complexes made from repurposed office spaces in the middle of cities, subsisting on government approved slops before given your broom that you have to put a £10 deposit on before sweeping up outdoor areas. Anyone caught lollygagging about will face personal contact sanctions, and you receive a £3 bonus for alerting the authorities of such (£5 for anyone you're related to) Anyone under the age of 40 will receive extra slops for donating blood and bone marrow that is kindly donated to the retired community. You can also opt in to have their blood flushed through your body and back into theirs as a human dialysis machine, for the chance to get an hour of free credit on the Government Web Zone.
