I donât really keep up on UK politics since Iâm an ignorant American, but this is just absurd in itâs brazenness.
Usually politicians arenât so up front with their âsecurity over freedom/rightsâ agenda, they just quietly pass bills that advance that agenda; but Mayâs coming right out and saying that human rights are something that can be revoked if need be. Sheesh.
Mate, there are many ignorant people in the UK too đ
Youâre spot on with this - itâs something that the Tories have promised before - replacing the European Convention On Human Rights with a vague and undetailed âBritish Bill Of Rightsâ.

However, this time it is to deflect away from her appalling record as Prime Minister and Home Secretary where Police and domestic intelligence services have been cut - to the point where she accused them of scaremongering over them when they pointed out the consequences of these cuts some years ago.

I hope he tries, it might be grounds for impeachment.
I think itâs just bluster from him to be honest mate - his followers and supporters seem to lap up his continuing empty promises and temperamental rants up on twitter - it probably seems to them that heâs getting stuff done.
If it is possible grounds for impeachment though, then đ
SRW Iron - a chromium based browser (basically the same functions as Chrome - but without so much of the data/info collecting & snooping done by Google).
Have used it for a few years - impressed with what it does (and doesnât), very reliable - as well as benefiting from near on ever add-on from the chrome web store working on it too đ
https://www.srware.net/en/software_srware_iron.php - also has a useful multi-language forum for users to ask any questions and report any faults/errors or just give feedback etc.
Itâs also available for Mac, Linux, and Android, as well as Windows.
âUS Embassy in London distances itself from Donald Trump by praising Sadiq KhanââŚ
https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/871725780535062528
Pathetic excuse by London Mayor Sadiq Khan who had to think fast on his âno reason to be alarmedâ statement. MSM is working hard to sell it!
crazy isnât it? - Trump gets caught out by his own lack of empathy and then tweets using the London Bridge attacks to further his muslim ban, (before offering sympathy for the victims) - and tries to deflect attention away of it to Khan and the mediaâŚ
âŚwhen in fact Khan hasnât said anything other than his original statement.
A spokesman for Khan did say in reply to Trumpâs first tweet re Khan - 'He (Khan) has more important things to do than respond to Donald Drumpfâs ill-informed tweet that deliberately takes out of context his remarks urging Londoners not to be alarmed when they saw more police â including armed officers â on the streets,â

Hold on to your rights, UK.
New international agreements should be introduced to regulate the internet in the light of the London Bridge terror attack, Theresa May has said.
The Prime Minister said introducing new rules for cyberspace would âdeprive the extremists of their safe spaces onlineâ and that technology firms were not currently doing enough.
The Prime Minister made the comments outside Downing Street on Sunday morning in the aftermath of the van and knife attack that saw seven people killed and dozens injured.
âWe cannot allow this ideology the safe space it needs to breed â yet that is precisely what the internet, and the big companies that provide internet-based services provide,â Ms May said.
Come the early hours of Friday morning what she says, hopefully, wonât matter anymore mateâŚ
(Thatâs not to say the tech companies canât do more - indeed they can - but I didnât any calls on banning books or libraries (though she is doing here best to close down as many as she can. Nor do I see her calling for a ban on selling arms to countries which fund terrorism - though she is suppressing reports that links that very thing)

Actually, the Mayor of London said thisâŚ
ââŚterrorists are constantly evolving & finding new ways to disrupt, harm us, attack us⌠the police and experts and all of us, are finding new ways to keep us safe. Londoners will see an increased police presence today and in the course of the next few next days - there is no reason to be alarmed - one of the things the police and all us need to do is make sure weâre safe as we can possibly be.â
the Mayor then goes onto how the terrorists want to disrupt our way of life and interview continues onâŚ
