Charlie Stross:
When fascism comes to Britain it will be wearing a tweed jacket and a cheeky grin, holding a pint of beer in one hand and a noose in the other.
Reiterating my point from the other day: Jo Cox’s murderer is not a terrorist because he is not a Muslim. He is officially a “non-violent” lone wolf with some mental health issues.
That’s despite the fact that he assassinated a public figure for political ends using a homemade weapon that he had prepared for the occasion. To be called a terrorist these days, one has to have a swarthy or brown skin and have a Mahomedan background.
In former times, you had to be Catholic but that’s all water under the bridge now.

A pathetic group of marketers breaks ranks with the digital surveillance community and publicly demonstrates how abusive mobile phone technology can be.
Normally Big Data types don’t like to show their hands like this. They prefer to see their steady accumulation of power and influence over ordinary people go unnoticed. This rogue group is taking a piss in the punch.
Ad-block now. Uninstall privacy busting apps. Easier said than done but the fight back has to begin.
