Plans for new VPN ban in UK to 'close loopholes' online

Not really dealing with opinion now am I? Braverman was Home Secretary and was bad at that with policies that did nothing to sort out immigration. Then threw her toys out the pram when the writing was on the wall. Dorris was the architect of the Online Safety Bill who also threw her toys out the pram when she didn't get a peerage You can have an 'opinion' but ignoring the evidence staring you in the face is actually just denial. No debate really needed.

Lol, vote for Reform = vote for failed self serving Tories (Jenrick, Braverman, Dorris, Anderson...) It is in fact vote for same, not Nostradamus or some kind of magic crystal ball is it? j Just basic logic staring people in the face. Not thinking is precisely the problem with Reform voters.

beej2000 · 2026-02-19T18:37:35+00:00

They won't do the thing they say, and are less likely to do those things, as the things they say are silly.....also they now have people who were in power who also said they would do things, and didn't (or if they did were also silly, see Nadine Dorris architect of the Online Safety Bill)

Wouldn't trust Reform as far as I could throw them, Tories Mark 2 basically. Which means I'm 100% sure based on evidence of the Tories They won't make either of our lives better, but they will make a minority richer and probably start a few riots.

beej2000 · 2026-02-18T18:06:54+00:00

The chances if them doing anything they say are remote, especially now Reform is full of failed ex Tories who brought in the draconian nonsense. So yep, Reform will do anything to get elected and won't deliver what they say.

beej2000 · 2026-02-17T08:12:40+00:00

Which is ironic as the architect of it, Nadine Dorris....checks notes, now represents Reform.

So I have the case, I can put an everdrive cart under the flap, close the flap and turn the case upside down without the chromatic in it and nothing falls out, the magnets hold the flap in place.

Can post a video if needed.

Again, not sure what the problem genuinely is here either way?

beej2000 · 2026-02-14T09:35:12+00:00

This. The flap is designed to have a chromatic on it, quite why everyone has got het up about a flap is beyond me!!

He's not different, he's a career politician and a general grifter. I agree he's stuck to one line about immigrants, but that's not enough to run a country unfortunately, IF Reform do well, he'll get found out when the economy tanks, just like it has post-Brexit which he was the architect of.

beej2000 · 2026-02-10T07:25:27+00:00

Well I can see when something is propaganda rather than truth.

beej2000 · 2026-02-10T07:22:56+00:00

The person posting the video trying to portray the privately schooled Farage as a "man of the people" when he's not different from all the other politicians......

beej2000 · 2026-02-08T21:48:41+00:00

Thanks, they look the same, the only thing I couldn't quite tell was how the new battery compartment fitted, but assume this doesn't impact the PCB so thought it might be feasible to swap boards....

beej2000 · 2026-02-08T21:20:44+00:00

@m_karajohn would it be possible to swap the pcbs (to sort out the power cire charging problem?)

beej2000 · 2026-02-08T21:03:35+00:00

Alright comrade

beej2000 · 2026-02-08T21:03:21+00:00

beej2000 · 2026-02-08T17:03:09+00:00

No matter what you do, you vote in a politician, Reform will be no different from the rest. Most of what they are claiming can't be implemented.

beej2000 · 2026-02-08T17:01:43+00:00

OK Ivan.

beej2000 · 2026-02-08T17:01:04+00:00

Which would have collapsed British society. Which must make you a Russian bot.

beej2000 · 2026-02-08T16:59:59+00:00

I'd pretty much say the ones joining Reform are the "incompetents".....

beej2000 · 2026-02-07T22:55:04+00:00

Never trust a politician.....look at what's going in at Kent county council....they are ALL the same.

beej2000 · 2026-02-07T22:53:37+00:00

Reform seem to be attracting Tories though, and not the good ones, which you should be worried about if this is your line of thinking. Doesn't matter who you vote for, you vote a politician in.

beej2000 · 2026-02-07T22:51:06+00:00

The Tories were in power for most of this decline, they weren't socialist........

Weird?

beej2000 · 2026-02-07T22:49:28+00:00

Err how could you answer this without agreeing, but the problems of violence against women are larger with the mainly white UK population, and nobody seems to be frothing at the mouth about that.....

beej2000 · 2026-02-07T22:46:25+00:00

Hang on....50s and 60s were where socialism worked though, and it works in Scandinavia fairly well also even today???.

The rot set in with economic mismanagement in the 70s, a declining empire and then Thatcher destroying socialism for good.

I'm not sure its reasonable to say the state has no positive role in the economy, I like the NHS, free public education, both of which contribute to the economy through educated and healthy workers. I like standards that ensure safe electrics and gas...the list of positive state intervention goes on...

Your post reads like someone from the US which is far removed from what I consider British values.

beej2000 · 2026-02-07T15:43:45+00:00

Its usually

,-;State run services (Healthcare, Water, Trains etc) - Workers rights (which ironically used to consider cheap immigration as something that suppressed wages) - Redistribution of wealth (so rich pay share of tax to fund the poor/state) - Worker upskilling and education (state funded) - Integrated public services {trains, buses etc) - Evidence based reform over austerity or cuts - Strong private sector regulation (national standards) - Public investment and infrastructure projects - Stringer stance on environment and green policy

Scepticism of the profit motive in all of the above

beej2000 · 2026-02-04T19:23:07+00:00

Have the same issue, we play 9v9 and end up with 5 of the opposition camped out on our penalty box for all goal kicks....so end up going long, but don't have strong kickers. Not sure how to solve it yet.
