It’s this kind of thinking I find staggering. Trump has done something - it’s his bill that caused the problem he’s not going to change course. I don’t understand why Trump voters want to judge Trump on his words rather than his actions. They’re amongst those who are going to suffer to preserve tax cuts that won’t benefit them.
Yeah the Act shows the wilful stupidity of politicians who pass legislation without understanding the areas they’re legislating on. It’s a nonsense act that tries to look like it is “protecting children” and is performative nonsense for MPs to pass moral judgement on things they don’t agree with.
But in practice it’s a security and privacy nightmare, it’s restricting and interfering in the freedom and rights of the majority of the population all to satisfy a stupid moral panic, and it makes the UK look like a backwards state.
