Censorship-mad UK is going after US Tech companies.

There’s an ongoing struggle in the Donald J. Trump administration to keep UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s censorship push from encroaching in US citizens’ liberties.

BBC reported:

“According to Preston Byrne, managing partner of law firm Byrne & Storm, Ofcom has provisionally decided to impose a £20,000 fine ‘with daily penalties thereafter’ for as long as the site fails to comply with its request.

It’s almost embarrassing that my ancestry is British. They have gone seriously off the rails.

Quartering really pissed off the FFs as that amendment was right after the RKBA.

The bill of rights wasn't written in order of importance. Technically the second amendment was actually the fourth, the first two didn't make it through originally. The first amendment would have kept the house beholden to and representative of the people. The second amendment was actually ratified much later as the 27th.

I would only add something like this: 'It's regrettable that your citizens do not enjoy the kind of free expression of conscience that we do in the United States. That said, while you have our pity, you will not have our compliance.'

Well said! The most polite "F OFF!" I've seen in a good long while.
