    You guys in the UK better burn any copies of Game of Thrones you might have around. The show wasn’t that good as to be worth the jail time.

    On a side note, is the UK alright?

      No, the UK is not alright. They’ve been banning a lot of stuff lately. And I mean a lot. It’s comparable to even the Deep South of the US, and that’s hardly an exaggeration. The worst part is that most of it seems to truly be a bipartisan effort.

        That’s just bollocks mate. What have we banned? Porn needs ID, yes that’s puritanical, but nothing a VPN can’t sort. We are NOTHING like the deep south.

        Banning the step-sibling porn is weird AF, granted, but beyond poorly conceived and weirdly puritanical porn rules, I’d much rather have Keir in charge than that decaying, semi-literate lunatic half the US inexplicably worship.

          The concept of privacy on the internet for one thing. VPNs as well, or perhaps that was only an attempt. ID verification to go to Wikipedia is an interesting idea, that, funnily enough, I can’t say that even Alabama has done.

        It’s “bipartisan” because we live in capitalist dictatorships, and the fascist oligarchy have given their marching orders to the politicians they own.

      No, the UK is not alright. They are worse off than the US, less the blowhard leadership. As of yet.

        Absolute nonsense. I dislike our government but all the other alternatives would shift us further right. I’m not a fan of Keir, but he’s pushed back on Trump’s mad war and, in terms of policy, Labour is the UKs most liberal mainstream party.

        Game of Thrones was awesome, the last season was garbage I will give you that.

        Fucking Martin, still waiting on winds of winter, that fat fucker is going to keel over before he finishes it. He’s not even trying.
