Not a good look but then again the uk wanted to legaly mandate a real identity linked to online avtivity so they always have been a little authoritarian.

The country as a whole isn't, but the Tories are. And it's the biggest problem with first passed the post voting.

Saying one party is bad doesn't mean that others aren't, like it's somehow mutually exclusive. Although, pointing out another is bad too doesn't negate the evils of the other. Lesser evils and whatnot.

True. I and I understand pointing out the Tories as they're in power. However by not pointing out that Labour are just as bad we run the risk of fooling ourselves that these kinds of infringements to our civil rights will go away if we get the Tories out.

Mate i got no idea what a torie is

A type of snake mixed with a rat.

Heartily chuckled. They all are grotesque experiments gone horribly awry—politicians in general.
