      I left the UK because best case scenario, Labour would continue internet monitoring and censorship, and keep brexit. Fuck em.

      I told those people millions of times to vote for Lib Dems or greens, “oh but third party blah blah” ok great. Somehow , Reform , despite being a third party is about to eat the conservatives.

        Fundamentally, half of the electorate needs to collaborate on a single third party and be convinced that enough other people will also vote that way so their vote isn’t thrown away. A coalition involving the Greens (for example) as a minority party won’t give them enough power to change anything.

        The only way out of this – unless Reform get into power and abolish First Past the Post in their own interests while not undermining democracy in other ways, which would be a silver lining on a very dark cloud – is if the public put a ton of pressure on the government for voting reform.

        The calls are getting louder, and groups like the ERS have started to publish promising polling recently, but it needs a monumental effort.

          Judging by New Labour’s absolute majority on 32% of votes cast with a turnout of 60%, you don’t need half of the electorate to collaborate, just a little less than one fifth.

          You need much less than that if the point is merelly to screw up New Labour’s electoral chances.

    If you have a decent PC, for the graphics, Monster Hunter: World’s character creator works for some website selfie verifications… For some it doesn’t, however I’ll be pirating Death Stranding to give it a go for those ones.

    Just thought of throwing that out there. I just pointed my webcam at my monitor with the game running, turned the head a bit and it did the trick.

    Who the fuck asked them to do that anyway? Aren’t they supposedly a left wing government?

    Yarrrr mateys, private torrent trackers don’t have an age-gate!

    There’s definitely a handful of private porn torrent trackers.

    Then you don’t have to hit an age gate anymore because it’s safely stored on your own hard drives.

      Question: don’t those private trackers require some sort of verification themselves?
