Shut down the UK Ministry of Truth

My name’s Mark and I’m a human rights campaigner. I’ve just found out I was included in a government Mis/Disinformation Report for sharing a petition from the official Parliamentary petitions website

And it’s clear that I’m not the only one.

NHS trusts ordered to share patient data with US ‘spy-tech’ firm

Palantir, whose owner claimed the NHS ‘makes people sick’, will ‘collect and process confidential patient information’

Hundreds of NHS hospitals have been ordered to share people’s confidential medical records with an American spy-tech company owned by a billionaire Trump donor, openDemocracy can reveal.

#Palantir Technologies – the secretive Silicon Valley firm first funded by the #CIA – will collect patient information from all hospitals in England, according to internal NHS documents.

‘Hostile, authoritarian’ UK downgraded in civic freedoms index

The UK is becoming increasingly authoritarian and is among concerning company in the Civicus Monitor ratings as restrictive laws and dangerous rhetoric are creating a hostile environment towards civil society in the UK.”

It is also concerned by what it sees as the UK government’s attempts to undermine human rights and its hostility towards charities and campaigners who actively oppose or speak out against its policies on climate change, anti-racism and refugee and asylum seeker rights.

The UK government’s increasingly hardline approach is reflected in a separate annual survey of charities by the Sheila McKechnie Foundation (SMK), which reveals widespread alarm at the extent of ministers perceived hostility to civil society and enthusiasm for cracking down on long-held freedoms to organise and protest.

“The results of our survey, alongside the news Civicus has downgraded the UK as obstructed, should be a wake-up call. Our civic space is experiencing death by a thousand cuts and, at a time when ‘Global Britain’ is trying to carve out its new space in the world, we find ourselves in the same class as countries we have previously been a democratic example to,” said the SMK chief executive, Sue Tibballs.

BBC chair Richard Sharp must resign

The BBC’s unjustified suspension of Gary Lineker for supporting refugees has thrown the corporation into crisis.

BBC chair Richard Sharp should resign over this mess alone – but the problems go much deeper. The chair is supposed to be impartial in their decisions and uphold BBC independence, but Sharp is closely linked to the Tory government.

Sharp played a crucial role in arranging an £800,000 loan for former prime minister Boris Johnson. This is already under investigation.

Tories failing to attract enough candidates for May elections

The shortage of candidates is not only a problem in Labour-dominated areas like Liverpool and Manchester, but also in traditional “Tory shires” such as in East Anglia. Former chair of the Hitchin and Harpenden local Conservative association, Matt Stephens, believes the “Tory brand” is coming to an end.

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.

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.

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.
