WARNING - Remember when I told you about Client side scanning? (Original post below)
On 9 November, the government confirmed it is preparing legislation to put this technology into smartphone operating systems, switched ON by default.
existing phones will receive it through software updates. Adults would have to prove they’re over 18 to switch it OFF.
The EU has been pushing similar proposals under “Chat Control”.
It means software will inspect images and content on your device, before you send them or even view them.
In June, the government was asked whether this technology could also be used to detect and block ‘hate’ speech and other text content. It confirmed it would consider wider uses.
Which means, with Ofcom’s new rules on responding to ‘crisis’ situations, the technology could be expanded to prevent you from sharing content the authorities decide is unacceptable.
Instead of censoring you after you post it, they could stop you posting it in the first place.
But you still have free speech obvs 🙄
🚨WARNING the bit Starmer isnt telling you is... this sort of device technology is called Client-Side Scanning.
It is already built into the Ofcom regulated Online Safety Act through “accredited technology” notices. The EU has been pushing similar rules through its Child Sexual Abuse Regulation, known as “Chat Control”.
It basically means phone companies and platforms can be pushed to scan messages, images and content BEFORE you send them, then either allowing them to be sent or blocking/reporting them.
Once the precedent is set, "to protect children", it can easily be widened to block whatever government decides is “harmful”.
And that's how you go from child safety to state approved speech.
TA DAAAA 🚨

Was supposed to be joining @RupertLowe10 for a @RestoreBritain event tonight. If I had travelled to the UK, I would have been arrested on the spot and could have faced up to 4 years in prison.
I can’t visit for one day to give a speech, yet thousands of people without papers cross the Channel and are given free housing and citizenship.

Now tax inspectors will be secretly taking photographs of people's houses.
An internal document obtained through an FOI request reveals that inspectors will be “collecting and recording the facts and information” by visiting properties to take notes and pictures.
Internal and external pictures are “essential”, as they provide a clear record of a property — “particularly where areas are in question/ alterations have been made/extensions completed/ongoing works/ adaptations made to dwellings”.
Meanwhile HMRC will soon be demanding your conversation with AI Chatbots on tax matters.
Provisions in the Budget Bill that is currently passing through Parliament expand the definition of digital information HMRC can demand from taxpayers to any “relevant thing”.
Privacy will soon be a long-forgotten concept in this country.

The Free Speech Union is deeply troubled by what is happening in the Welsh Parliament.
The freedom of elected representatives to speak is at the heart of our democracy. Those we elect to represent us should be able to voice their constituents’ concerns, however uncomfortable they may be for some to hear.
We stand with @joemartin1066 and every elected representative’s right to speak freely in their Parliament.

Home Office officers and Lincolnshire Police stopped more than 30 DPD drivers leaving a Lincoln depot on Monday morning. Two Indian men in DPD uniforms, driving DPD vans, were asylum seekers with no right to work. Both had come in on student visas. Both were arrested and then bailed. A third man had overstayed his visa.
The chief immigration officer at the raid says her team is seeing a rise in immigration offences inside parcel delivery firms.
Being arrested and bailed is not the same as being removed. Until people caught working illegally are actually put on a plane, raids like this just move the problem along. #RemigrationNow

Afghan men who received free housing, welfare and full UK support now fly back to Afghanistan to visit family and Taliban friends. They no longer pretend to be refugees. They know Britain will never cut the benefits.
The scam is obvious. Stop the madness!
The next British government must cut the entire foreign aid budget to zero.
Hundreds of millions go to Pakistan, Afghanistan and Gaza to Islamic states and populations that despise Britain, export jihad and treat non-Muslim women and girls as disposable.
That money is not compassion. It is a transfer from the British taxpayer to people who hate them.
Stop the moral theatre. The moment an illegal migrant tries to cross from France, turn the boat around. No processing. No hotels. No asylum games. They entered illegally. They leave immediately.
Britain should stop downgrading itself from one of the greatest nations of Western civilization to a hostel for third-world invaders.

Journalists who interview other journalists about technology related legislation that threatens everyone’s right to digital privacy are going to get bitten in the ass when they realise that they, their whistleblowers and confidential sources will be forced to verify their real identities before they can communicate privately.
The British government is trying to outlaw online anonymity under the false pretext of child safety. None of this has anything to do with protecting children. I advised John Carr and the British government in 2012 during the first parliamentary inquiry into online child safety. He was the biggest lobbyist behind this agenda, yet he doesn’t know the first thing about the legislation he advocated.
I’ve been an expert in online child safety, content classification and moderation since 1996. I don’t know anyone else who started that early and went on to spend decades founding open standards and advising governments and organisations including IWF, CEOP, NCMEC and the US DOJ on child exploitation technology and techniques. I’m one of the two people who invented the very concept of classifying and labeling user accounts online.
As politicians like to say, let me be clear. Not a single politician or child safety advocate I’ve encountered is interested in protecting children. I’m 99.9% confident their real objective is to use child safety as an excuse to force compulsory identity verification on entire populations. This is the opinion of every technical expert you’ll find.
More than 25 countries now claim child safety is a top priority, judging by their legislative proposals, daily announcements and media coverage. Yet they continue to push identity verification instead of educating parents about the effective parental controls already built into smartphones.
People are already censoring themselves for fear of being investigated, arrested or banned for expressing their opinions in the UK. Compulsory identity verification will make that worse because everything people read, write and share online, and everyone they communicate with, will be linked to their real identities.
When you get banned, your real name gets blacklisted. You won’t be able to create a new account under a different email address.
What more does the government have to do before journalists start interviewing technical experts who can explain the consequences and properly inform the public?
If compulsory identity checks on services like eBay and Vinted aren’t already making journalists’ skin crawl, where exactly do they draw the line?

NEW: France refused to take back up to half of the migrants Britain wanted to boot out under Keir Starmer’s one-in-one-out deal, it emerged today.
The former Prime Minister insisted the deal would help end small boat crossings, when it was announced in 2025.
But France simply refused to accept many of the cross-Channel migrants that were supposed to be returned to its territory, according to a scathing watchdog report.
The scale of the failure was laid bare by John Tuckett, the Independent Chief Inspector of Borders and Immigration.
He said Paris hid behind data protection diktats to avoid handing immigration officials the reasons for refusals - which meant the Home Office wasted time trying to return migrants that France would eventually reject.

"Papers Please" to get online?
We say NO! @andyburnham
Before putting millions of adults through an ID checkpoint to access social media, the Government and the platforms should have to explain why the information they already have isn't enough - and how requiring every single user to prove their age using government-issued ID can possibly be:
- Necessary
- Proportionate
- Or indeed safe in itself - given databases are compromised ALL THE TIME

🚨Ministers promised to make Britain "the safest place in the world to go online." Instead, they’re making it impossible for children to go online at all.
The social media ban has spiralled so far out of control that lazy rules could now outlaw apps literally built for children.
Banning child-safe spaces won't stop online harm - it just leaves vulnerable kids with nowhere safe left to go.

This Labour government has completely lost the plot.
Their proposed under 16s social media ban could now extend to Spotify, Lego Play and YouTube Kids.
We're talking about children listening to music, playing Lego games and watching educational videos.
What sort of ridiculous, dystopian nonsense is this?
These are the sort of absurd, authoritarian measures you would expect to see in a dictatorship, not a supposedly free country.
The government needs to stop treating parents like idiots and children like prisoners.

That's right, these people are criminals and yet the Home Office didn't bother deporting them on purpose

Heading home right now and i think this perfectly encapsulates life under the Labour Party in Britain. Lovely people thought it would be nice to display a copy of a Canaletto painting by the canal in London. Scum decided to spray paint it and destroy it. The beautiful picture is now taken down and just awful hardboard to look at. Meanwhile, the vermin who spray painted it will be given money by Andy Burnham out of hardworking taxpayers money. They’ll be paid to be scum with all the excuses in the world for their behaviour. All whilst the culture and the beauty all around us is taken away. Britain in 2026. It doesn’t have to be like this.
