Is the UK a countrycow?

It's a good thing I cited fucking 5 more you tard, and the articles are literally just direct quotes. What the fuck do you want? Kill yourself you teasucking faggot.

Come on Daddy Freedom, ignore the vote results. Ban every snaggletoothed piss-drinking islandmonkey to step foot here. You think the founding fathers took a referendum on whether to kill them some redcoats? You think the colonists actually cared so much about a tariff that they wanted all their tea at the bottom of the harbor? Fuck no, most of them just wanted to buy some tea and then drink the tea, because they were fat and complacent and stupid and just wanted to drink some tea. They needed strong men to show them the way to freedom, men of passion, men of conviction, men who will flush that toilet witch Melchett right to the fucking bottom of their own personal Boston fucking Harbor. We're fat and complacent and stupid too, and we need a strong man, an iron man, a man of freedom and principles and hamburgers to put his foot down and say "No" to the constant aggressions of the filthy British scourge.

If you don't ban these subhuman limesucking bongs, you will be forever known as a treacherous Hessian whore, the Benedict Arnold of the 21st century, and every beautiful red drop of revolutionary blood that spilled will have spilled out for nothing. You will live out the rest of your days as pariah in the eyes of your ancestors, unfit to call yourself American, unfit to so much as crawl like the whipped dog you are under the glorious light of the rocket's red glare.

Snip.

If you were unlucky enough to be British Dyn I'd totally vote for you to be PM. You hate us almost as much as we hate ourselves.

If I was unlucky enough to be British I'd hang myself on my umbilical cord before I even made it out of the womb.

Enough is enough. Your country hates you. We have a significant British userbase and every single one of you is at risk by using this website. You crack one autistic joke and you might be fined for it. How the fuck do you put up with this?

By ignoring it, in the majority. I've never once threatened someone online, which is what spawned this remarkably ill-conceived attempt at law enforcement. As such, I (and my lolcow-watching ilk) are fairly low down on the list of priorities. If, and this is a titanic if, the poor coppers who get assigned to this shitshow duty ever manage to nail things down to a point where the low-hanging fruit (i.e. the FB jihadis, the twitter screechers and the reddit revolutionaries) is all dried up, then they'll start looking at the ones whose 'crimes' are distinctly more nebulous. However, that's a huge ask, and I don't see this going anywhere.

As a general rule of thumb (based on knowing a couple of people that are in positions of middling authority within the government) the order in which these things go is thus:

• Minister makes public declaration centred on "Down with this sort of thing".
• Minister's advisers confer with civil servants about making said declaration happen.
• Civil servants point out how ridiculously hard it is to implement said thing.
• Minister throws a bitch fit.
• Civil servants find a way to implement it at great cost.
• Minister wants budget version, so totally half-arses the implementation.
• Half-arsed implementation is hailed as the new world order.
• Half-arsed implementation is swiftly rendered inoperable by the corners cut in making it happen.
• Everyone forgets about it, and moves on.

Of course, that's assuming that it actually gets to the point of anything happening beyond hot air being vented. I honestly expect that this'll get shut down by senior police quite fast, because it's a huge time/money/manpower sink for very little return.

I voted you late. Over 300 years late, in fact.

Theresa May has an extremely poor record when it comes to human rights, so this isn't surprising. Not to mention that this is the most right-wing Tory government the UK has had in years, and the only one who has tried to force control of the internet this much.

I had a fairly terrifying thought the other day. Can you imagine what Thatcher would have done to personal liberty if social media was around in those days? The Greater London Council put up a billboard that triggered her so badly she just abolished them. Unkind words on the internet....?? Bosh.

 

[HG 400]

As such, I (and my lolcow-watching ilk) are fairly low down on the list of priorities.

1 - There is a not insignificent portion of the userbase who find themselves incapable of heeding the gigantic redtext warning not to use the same name they use everywhere else and links back to their facebook.

2 - There is an insane fucking British terrorist-man who's been stalking this website for almost two years, and obsessively attempts to report people to the police for using it, to the point of even reporting the police to other police when they refuse to help him.

All fruit is low-hanging fruit when somebody goes out of their way to feed it to you.

If I was unlucky enough to be British I'd hang myself on my umbilical cord before I even made it out of the womb.

If I had a choice between fucking a hundred abbos or becoming British, I'd choose the abbos in a heartbeat.

 

[AprilRains]

In my experience, people who say "Oh, they'll never use this law to do that" are dumb enough to look surprised when they use this law to do exactly that.

 

[BOLDYSPICY!]

Nooooo, I need @Ravenor @MMX @Karen Riley @UselessRubberKeyboard @Ass Manager 3000 @CWCissey et al in my life

 

[chadmuska]

It's easy, pretend you're a terrorist and the police won't touch you inshallah

But sam smith doesn't have to pretend!

They're already prosecuting a guy for teaching his dog to sieg heil as a joke. This is a step in the less retarded direction than they already in.

What's the point of living next to creepy, lawless Eastern European countries if you can't use creepy, lawless Eastern European servers?

Also: lol Inglan literally has cyber police to back-trace you.

Well, if they can't be arsed to read the internet's equivalent of CAUTION: CONTENTS HOT, then that's on them.

2 - There is an insane fucking British terrorist-man who's been stalking this website for almost two years, and obsessively attempts to report people to the police for using it, to the point of even reporting the police to other police when they refuse to help him.

Surely the fact that he resorts to reporting police to other police gives you a fair degree of insight as to how seriously he's taken, right? He may well have had some success in stifling KF, but that's got a lot to do with the fact that websites are a relatively soft target. The process of arresting, trying and imprisoning individuals is a much slower and drawn-out proposition. It's also high-profile enough to be able to give the Home Secretary of the day a bloody nose, especially if the government loses the case.

How do you think Alexander Jahans will take the news?

Yeah, they're deep in a hole and all they can think to do is dig harder.

This guy is still battling the courts over this, 18 months later.

To quote Sam Hyde,
"Don't worry so much about money. Worry about if people start deciding to kill politicians. That's a quote."

Wasnt that just the point of colonisation in the first place?

I've just remembered what this reminded me of.

Anyone remember CEOP? no? didnt think so.

The Child Exploitation and On-line Command was exactly this, but set up to deal with kiddy fiddlers when that was all the Daily Mail was getting it thigh rubbing kicks over.

Within a month or so, the Plod that was put in charge started chimping on MSM about how he didnt have enough money to get anywhere near tackling the mahoooosive amounts of abuse he was finding.
So he was sacked and the whole thing was brushed under the table. CEOP still has a website and the copper will occasionally turn up on a current affairs programme to complain that he wasn't given a chance, but I'd be surprised if anyone remembers it.

And that was fucking children, not just fucking with SJWs.
