Yeah this is where I'm at. I feel powerless and unable to actually make change. I care deeply, I'm just hopeful that Signal, WhatsApp and Apple stick to their principals and don't break encryption. Using Android I could hopefully sideload Signal anyway?

The worst part of it is that I'm not even convinced the Tories are going to lose the next election. People have such short memories or choose to forget the scandals come election time.

Dude - time to start your journey, out of Plato’s Cave! The lefty/righty paradigm, is old and dusty. Just one axis of thought, out of three.

It was David Blunkett, who wanted us all to show our: “papers, please!” - so don’t think for one moment, that the desire to renew, and transplant, a Stasi esque surveillance borg, stops at the Conservative corridors of power.

We are boiling the frog!
