Defend the Right UK to Strike - Enough is Enough

The right to strike is under threat.

New legislation proposed by the Tory government intends to override a workers’ right to withdraw their labour, forcing them to work against their will.

The right to strike is a fundamental democratic right. It underpins our ability to win dignity in the workplace and earn a decent standard of living.

It is no accident that this right is under attack at the very moment the public is fighting back against the cost-of-living squeeze.

This government is determined to force workers to pay the price for a crisis caused by the greed of the elite yet again. We won’t accept it.

How well do you know the #UnitedKingdom Online Safety Bill?

Some strong parallels to how the Internet is censored in #Russia & #China. Welcome to the People's Republic of the United Kingdom.

Here's the frightening summary:

• The Bill makes illegal online what is illegal offline.

• Under the Bill's safety duty, before removing a user's post a platform will have to be satisfied to the criminal standard that it is illegal.

• The Bill will repeal the S.127 Communications Act 2003 offences.

• A platform may be required to adjudge whether a post causes spiritual injury.

• A platform may be required to adjudge whether a post represents a contribution to a matter of public interest.

• Platforms would be required to filter users’ posts.

• The Bill regulates platforms, not users.

• The Bill outlaws hurting people's feelings.

• The Bill recriminalises blasphemy.
   

• The Bill is all about Big Tech and large social media companies.

• The Bill is all about algorithms that push and amplify user content.

• The Secretary of State can instruct Ofcom to modify its Codes of Practice.

• A platform will be required to remove content that is legal but 'harmful; to adults.

• The Bill is about systems and processes, not content moderation.

• Ofcom could ban social media quoting features.

• The Bill will outlaw end to end encryption.

• The press [millionaire/billionaires] are exempt.

Write to your MP to help stop the Online Safety Bill

UK's Online Safety Bill returns to Parliament on 5th December. Now is the time to act; write your MP.

❌ Private chat platforms, such as WhatsApp, Signal, Facebook Messenger and Telegram, will also fall under the bill’s mandate.

❌ Under a recent amendment to the bill, they will have to scan for government-specified forms of illegal content using Home Office-approved systems. It is a deeply intrusive form of surveillance that will compromise the end-to-end encryption that currently keeps our chats confidential and secure.

❌ Automated censorship machines will decide what you can and can’t say online. They will use prior constraint, censoring you automatically before you have even published your comments.

❌ Politicians will decide what will be censored. Russia and China do the same. We need to be better than that, we need to uphold our values and freedoms.

❌ Downgrading anonymous accounts will punish victims of crime, as they will be marginalised and blocked.

❌ This Bill will age-gate and restrict access to the likes of Twitter, Google, and Reddit.

NHS preparing for 'significant excess deaths' this winter

Health chiefs are in talks with funeral directors to ensure cremations and burials can keep pace with demand in the event of “significant excess deaths” this winter.

Board papers from #NHS Lanarkshire also note that additional mortuary capacity created to help manage the Covid pandemic could be called upon to cope with a potential surge in mortality over the coming months.

The documents state: “The resilience planning officers of North and South Lanarkshire are working alongside local undertakers to ensure there is sufficient ‘pace’ of funeral services – both burials and cremations – to support the eventuality of a significant excess of deaths over the winter period.

“Additional mortuary capacity identified for Covid is still in place and will continue to be available over the winter period.”

State of the United Kingdom

In the United Kingdom we have …

• A health secretary that smokes
• A sec of state for energy who doesn’t believe in climate change
• A chancellor who crashes the economy
• A home secretary with the empathy of a Satan
