Stupid letter from #HMRC
"We want to confirm that our records show the correct surname, last name or family name for R"
But it doesn't actually say what their records show for R's surname, last name or family name, it just shows R's full name
How many hand written forms are they receiving are simply parents clarifying their child's name, not correcting it?
You go girl!
(thought the association with the performative American stuff doesn't inspire much confidence)
Senior leadership in the #BBC met with #IDF General 2 months after 7th of Oct 2023.
#GifsArtidote :
#UKgov is collaborating with #Israel committing #genocide whilst censoring the BBC and other media, stifling #FreedomOfSpeech and #FreedomOfPress which is what #fascism looks like.
For Brits, notice how instantly Apple caved into the British Government's demands when the Water Companies can do what the fuck they want to us and UKGOV is like all "errrr, ermmmm, maybe not?"
Looks like I'll have to put my cat pictures and shopping list on Proton Drive to protect them from North Korean hackers
The Companies House find-a-company website has been largely broken for the last 2 days, returning varioous errors like 502 Bad Gateway... occasionally you get content but it's pretty much unusable.

Joint Letter on the #UKGov use of Investigatory Powers Act to attack #EndtoEndEncryption
The secret order would force #Apple to build a #backdoor into its end-to-end #encryptedcloudservices, putting all of its users’ security and privacy at risk, not just in the UK but globally.
We are looking for orgs, companies, associations, and #cybersecurity experts everywhere to sign on and demand the #UK government ends its attack on end-to-end #encryption.
Why is the UK government going after individual apps with its request for access to messages? Not to give anyone ideas, but it should pursue the various software keyboard app vendors instead. These apps are in a position to capture everything you type into any app.

“Fucking stupid and white”:
Based on what’s known so far, I’m with Kerr on this:
It seems like that rather than mediate between two parties as a professional police officer, the officer took it upon himself to make it about him.
He’s ‘fucking stupid’. And he’s white.

Ban Fossil Fuel Ads & Sponsorships
For too long fossil fuel companies have had the ability to spend largely unlimited £££ on advertising and sponsorships, greenwashing their dirty reputations to keep drilling for oil and gas in the face of climate collapse.
I think it’s time we did something about it
So please, sign the petition to ban fossil fuel ads.
Chris Packham.

The UK is falling significantly behind on its 2022 Cyber Security Strategy to harden important systems against cyberattacks by 2025.
Uk folks- new petition
This is to stop new build houses getting gas boilers, so they can be phased out easier & to stop building more fossil fuel infrastructure
Perfect depiction of the last government and now this new government's idiotic position. #eu #arrogant #ukgov c/o Martin Rowson @theguardian.com
In just one week, the UK govt has:
Offered a free for all to AI carpetbaggers
Given regulatory control of business policy to Amazon
Moved to prohibit legal challenges to new runways and environmentally damaging infrastructure projects
And now this - a general junking of Cop and other agreed climate change targets.
Labour people - is this what you voted for?
UK government announces blueprint for digital government
AI tools and data sharing to cut bureaucracy and boost productivity
https://www.computing.co.uk/news/2025/government-announces-blueprint-for-digital-government
There are plans for #AI to be "unleashed" across the #UK, in order to boost economic #growth. While the technology has been put to good use for healthcare, I'm not so sure about this... https://mindsconnect.jcink.net/index.php?showtopic=943&view=getnewpost #ukgov #ukpolitics #economy #jobs #employment #business #technology
The petition response even admits the evidence doesn't support it, that it is not helping, and it is a waste of money, but #farmers are too thick to understand this and #UKGov is committed to "Something must be done, this is something, ergo we must do this" mode.
