Obligatory GDPR post.

Data of UK and EU users is protected. Why doesn't the USA have such sensible data protection laws; the only hostility I see is from surveillance capitalists spreading their FUD.

A group who, contrary to popular belief, were not 'anti-technology'.

The fact they campaigned for unemployment support and re-training for workers displaced by the new technologies probably makes the Luddites amongst the most forward thinking and progressive people of the industrial revolution!

Where are you finding this utter rubbish!

The Prime Minister is chosen by Members of Parliament. The monarchs role in 'appointing' them is purely ceremonial.

Honestly, you sound like a somebody spouting 'Freeman on the Land' crap.
