the UK ratified this treaty, the proposed scheme appears to violate the requirement of a fair hearing at the very least even if you count the conduct as “seriously prejudicial to the vital interests of the state”

the high court and lords could just say gently caress it though, the UK doesn’t seem to care about treaties at the moment.

I remember reading that UK ratified it but didn't agree to the 'resolution mechanism' or something like that when I was reading about Shamima Begum.

So they don't actually follow it when inconvenient.

from what I read the uk's current law on stripping of citizenship has almost entirely been used against ethnic minorities with dual citizenship, which makes sense if they can't do it to people without

There's also countries like Morocco who automatically give citizenship to anyone with a Moroccan parent (resident or not). Unless you actively hide your kid from the Moroccan government they'll get it and it can't be renounced.

Yeah the UK government asserted it was fine in that case because she could be a Pakistani citizen in their opinion. The Pakistani government said she couldn't and the UK government did it anyway so the only case that might possibly be immune is someone with no possible citizenship ancestry outside the UK. So you've got to be a third generation mainland british born citizen and not Jewish to be somewhat confident that you can keep your citizenship.

I think it was Bangladesh not Pakistan but yes, also the UK is not bound by it because of not ratifying some annex or whatever, otherwise the courts couldn't ignore it.

The UK government defended themselves by saying they weren't the ones rendering her stateless, she did it to herself since she could have gotten another nationality at any point previously but didn't bother

Corbyn's speech to CBI 2016

https://jeremycorbyn.org.uk/my-spech-to-cbi-annual-conference-2016/

Which IIRC was well-received. It was ridiculed by some (including some of my former CLP colleagues) because it talked about 'the internet of things' which they didn't understand and thought was nonsense, not realizing it is indeed a 'thing' and 'internet of things' is a thing.

Corbyn's 2017 speech to the Federation of Small Businesses which, IIRC, was well-received.

https://labour.org.uk/press/jeremy-corbyns-speech-to-the-federation-of-small/

Which IIRC was also well-received.

(And which I have just checked is saved on the wayback machine just in case someone in the LP realizes it is still on their website and decides to delete it.)

"internet of things" is not a thing at all, it's a marketing phrase invented by microsoft to convince boomers they should buy more lovely devices

i am default tech support for several boomers, and I have had this conversation at least 10 times:

"my new internet of things cloud thermostat stopped working, can you figure out why"

"it broke because the internet went down"

"how is that possible it is internet of things? doesnt it just use the cloud?"

"no, internet of things means it breaks immediately it is designed to fail in this way"

"what about the cloud?"

IoT does sort of have a meaning in the narrow context of information security, it is used as shorthand for a lovely device with a 15 year old kernel sitting there with a dozen zero day exploits available before you even get to the service layer.

If you hacked into someone's network and you wanted to describe the process to another security person you would say something like "yeah I gained access through an internet of things shitbox" as a shorthand, but outside of that context it is a completely meaningless marketing term.

I'm given to understand that the outage affected people who kept their Tesla keyfob in the car and relied on the mobile app to lock and unlock it. These people were taunting the Internet gods anyway.
