The UK will treat online images of immigrants crossing the Channel as a criminal offense

On 17 January, the United Kingdom (UK) government announced that online platforms will have to proactively remove images of immigrants crossing the Channel in small boats under a new amendment to be tabled to the Online Safety Bill. The announcement, intended to bolster the UK’s hostile immigration policy, has been met with concern among the British public and charities working with people on the move.

UK risks being listed as a ‘human rights abuser’, NGO warns

Human Rights Watch warns UK has ‘very short window’ to reverse legislation, including restrictions on the right to protest

The UK government could soon make the list of countries that abuse rather than protect human rights with its “outright assault” on the rights of its own citizens and aggressive roll-back of protections such as on the right to assemble and protest, according to the international NGO Human Rights Watch (HRW)

Defend the Right to Strike

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.

People of the United Kingdom have no confidence in Liz Truss

Nobody voted for this.

Just 80,000 Tory party members handed Liz Truss the keys to the country but she crashed it on her very first outing.

She has two more years to wreck the country completely unless MPs force a general election by passing a vote of no confidence.

That's where we come in -- Tory MPs didn't want this Prime Minister and are already mutinous. Join the vote of no confidence in Liz Truss and, when it's massive, we'll deliver it to the MPs who can force a general election now.

To Members of Parliament :

This country has no confidence in Liz Truss. We urgently call on you to let the people choose their Prime Minister by supporting a vote of no confidence against the government in the House of Commons.

A Lack of Oversight in the Tory Leadership Contest Damages Democracy

The Conservative Party is selling leadership votes abroad for as little as £25. For those under-26 it’s even cheaper, a mere £5 to become a member and select the next Prime Minister.

This right to vote is a benefit offered to all party members of at least three months’ standing. Because voting closes in September, people abroad who paid up before early June have a say in selecting the country’s next prime minister, as appointed by the party in power though technically by the Queen.

Only around 160,000-200,000 in the UK may do so, and hardly a representative sample of the population at that.
