@SassySpliff @wessex51999 @real_lord_miles But but the GDPR will protect you ... 😂

@Edward___SS @wessex51999 @real_lord_miles Entrusting your genetic code to a tick box lmao

My DNA test results came in

@wessex51999 @real_lord_miles Yes but only if you didn't remember to untick the "consent" to future research.

@real_lord_miles Any lab that buys this data from the DNA company now has all the data required to make a targeted biological weapon against you...

@real_lord_miles Onlyfans corporate offices are based out of London, I knew one of the lawyers on the compliance and safety team, most of her work was related to subject access requests and responding to law enforcement demands globally

Imagine working at onlyfans / pornhub. White collar. Suit and tie. Going into a sterile office to code or do marketing or whatever. Manager giving speeches about their favorite gooner videos. Team performance exercises related to porn. Analyze porn on computer. Must be super weird. Must be many suicides and co-worker hookup drama. How does HR even work in such an environment? How many are caught gooning in the bathroom, or is that encouraged? How do you even put that on your CV for your next job?

@iainoverton Slight fault with your plan. ICO is functionally useless and will not do anything.

I signed up to that Reform 'Free Heating" scam and then immediately asked Reform UK to delete my data. If they fail to comply with my request within the legal timeframe, I’ll consider complaining to the ICO and potentially pursuing action under GDPR.

@Tom_Rowsell @jimthegiant I know right, how is that supposed to be a put down. Embarrassing

@jimthegiant If he is representative of his generation then it is evidently superior to yours

Man we just used to skate and listen to emo music at your age instead of whatever all this is

@orm0nde Is this art ?

The Bronze Age Mindset

@KingBobIIV The ICO are functionally useless, their guidance is often wrong and doesn’t align with the GDPR. But on the positive side they don’t carry out any enforcement at all, so it’s safe to ignore them. Genuinely pathetic regulator and the only one in Europe to charge an annual fee.

The ICO, by the way, has just told all taxi drivers that using internal CCTV is a breach of GDPR, so now can't be turned on unless there's an emergency or they have the consent of everyone in the car. So responsible firms can't monitor anything like this, or worse, happening in their vehicles. Internal CCTV protects drivers and passengers. It should be standard in every single taxi.

@campbellclaret Pot Kettle Iran dossier Iraq Dossier You’re just the same

Churchill would have seen him for what he is … a lying lardarse narcissist causing chaos in the world without anything close to a plan.

@RupertLowe10 In their wellies? The Westminster class are Le Chameau exclusively I would have thought

There's this bizarre acceptance in British politics that now we've had this inheritance tax assault partly reversed everything's hunky-dory with British farming. IT'S NOT. Rural Britain has an enemy - it's called Westminster. Don't think just because the situation is slightly less apocalyptic now than it was a few months ago, that everything's going well. It is still brutal for farmers - absolutely brutal. Running a profitable farm is now almost impossible. And yes, that did not happen overnight when Labour took over - this has gone on for decades, cheered on by Conservative, Reform and Labour politicians. They were all in Government, they all did this. I am a farmer. I have tried to bring some of that rural sense into Westminster, but the place is allergic to it. I would LOVE to see these MPs, from all parties, spend a day on a working farm. Turning up with their glistening new wellington boots and pristine hair. Let's see how long they last. They think a farm is for a Saturday afternoon out with the kids - tractor rides and ice creams. I cannot describe how little these people understand about how the British countryside operates. The political class has been at war with British farmers for decades. There is now a political party that will unapologetically fight for rural Britain. Restore Britain.

@Con_Tomlinson @Porsalin Put in a data subject request for it, Spector would have to justify why they won’t release it, which they probably can justify. Then put in a data subject request on all internal communications that lead to their decision to not release it and have that as a story

@Porsalin So do I.

The debate that the Spectator didn't want you to see. Redone. Contentious. Uncensored. Out Thursday at 17:00.

@DVATW To be fair, the Greeks have a 2500 year old enmity with the Persians, and their navy has given them a good drubbing before

More national shame…

@fellawrites @Con_Tomlinson Yes but we are also the indigenous people of these islands and that’s the part of the message that matters

@Con_Tomlinson Irish people aren’t British. If you’re using ‘Irish’ to cover the British people in Northern Ireland, those people are already ethnically Scottish and English.

A lot of chatter about ancestry, identity, and what being British means over the weekend. I am not a Restore Britain spokesperson. I'm a supporter, hopeful about the prospect of an authentically anti-establishment political party run by good men I know. Rupert has made Restore Britain's position clear. That is the position I will vote for. Here's my personal position: I am neither an ethno-nationalist, nor a civic nationalist. Civic nationalists say being British is a matter of having "British values", or of being born in Britain without holding those values, or of being given a British passport without being born here or having "British values." And you don't stop being British if you commit a horrible crime which violates "British values". Totally incoherent. Ethnonationalism has become a bogeyman for civic nationalists. What unsettles people about ethnonationalism are the people who say anyone, regardless of their good character and relationships with native British people, should be expelled from the country based on their ethnicity. That is not my position. My position is that Britain is not a nation of values. Being British is not just a matter of having a British passport. The English, Scottish, Welsh, and Irish are ethnic groups. To count yourself among them, you have to have at least one English, Scottish, Welsh, or Irish parent. Heritage is an important part of national continuity. Nations are built upon, as Paul Moreland says, ‘The myth of common ancestry’, which modern science can validate through DNA tests. Culture is most commonly passed down from parent to child. As Bernard Yack points out in Nationalism and the Moral Psychology of Community, if you break that chain of lineage, through rapid demographic and cultural change, then you sever the horizontal bonds of solidarity and belonging that keep a society together. As Orwell wrote, English civilisation "is continuous, it stretches into the future and the past, there is something in it that persists, as in a living creature. What can the England of 1940 have in common with the England of 1840? But then, what have you in common with the child of five whose photograph your mother keeps on the mantelpiece? Nothing, except that you happen to be the same person." To remain a family, its members have to be related. People can marry in, but you can't replace all its members and remain the same family. You can't remain the same nation if you replace all of its families. The constituent nations of the British Isles have never been propositional. To be British meant to belong to the political union of England, Scotland, Wales, and (now Northern) Ireland. To belong to those nations, you had to be part of an English, Scottish, Welsh, or Irish family. These are facts. This is not "ethno-nationalism." Otherwise, George Orwell, Rudyard Kipling, and Winston Churchill were "ethno-nationalists" by this definition. This is the same standard practised in Israel. And if it's good enough for them, then it's good enough for us, too. This was not controversial until very recently. Britain was demographically and culturally homogeneous until the post-War period. As Ed West wrote about in The Diversity Illusion, 90 per cent of Brits in 1927 could trace their ancestry back to 927, when King Æthelstan of Wessex conquered the last remaining Viking kingdom in York. The Norman Conquest left less than a 5 percent genetic imprint. The oft-cited handful of Jews and Huguenots who moved here were so few in number, caused no trouble, and so weren't worth worrying about. We have never been "a nation of immigrants". So, "British" when used for those of immigrant heritage was shorthand for "One of us", or "In our club." They were considered "basically British" because they were our friends, fit in well enough, and passed the social tests for belonging to our tribe. It is only because we have had more immigration, unwanted and from distant lands, with no requirement to fit in, since 1997 than between 1066 and the Second World War, that we're even having this conversation. A set of legal and political decisions, following the fall of the British Empire, muddied the waters. It separated British identity from national identities, declaring anyone with the appropriate documents is as British as I am. Those passports have been handed out like participation trophies. I don't think we should be giving out any new citizenship grants for the foreseeable future. And plenty of people who have been given them, who hate us, our country, and our way of life, should have them rescinded and be sent on their merry way. As Rupert said, millions must leave. If we got to that place, this wouldn't be a problem. But the conversation is coarse and contentious because people, quite rightly, feel their backs are against the wall and that we will be persecuted minorities in our own country by 2063, if not sooner. I don't endorse any inconsiderate or cruel conduct. Never have, never will. I don't act that way. What I think most people are asking when they say "Is my friend (of immigrant heritage) British?" is, "Are you going to mistreat my friend because of their heritage." And the answer to that is no. I don't in my personal life, and so I don't advocate for any political platform that would. To be clear: being English, Scottish, Welsh, and Irish is a matter of ancestry. Being British is still a matter of belonging to one or more of these nations. We may choose to consider people of other ancestry "basically British" because they are our friends, we love them, and they have done more than just hold a British passport. I know people like this, as I'm sure you do to. On the topic of representation: The primary concern of any political party should be the British people. That doesn't mean rejecting support from our friends with foreign ancestry. It simply means not pandering to various imported ethnic and religious groups. The price of Admission to 10 Downing Street should not be appeasing sectarian "communities", but currently all parties (bar Restore Britain) do this. And immigrants and their descendants, who recognise that British people possess the primary claim to their country, agree. If they wanted to be governed by foreign people and cultures, they could move to the countries already owned by them. They don't. They want to belong to Britain, and be governed by British people. And I agree. Foreign nationals should not vote or stand in our elections. Per the 1948 and 1981 British Nationality and Representation of the People Acts, they can. They should be repealed and replaced. Who should be eligible to stand in elections? I expect Restore Britain will say that only British nationals, born in Britain, should be able to stand as MPs. The same standard as the Act of Settlement 1701. The same standard that the United States has for who is eligible to run for President. It seems like the most sensible compromise. I would say the same standard should apply for eligibility to be employed by the civil service. If you're dealing with the business of state, your loyalties cannot lie elsewhere. I said previously that it would be reasonable to bar people without any English, Scottish, Welsh, or Irish ancestry from elected office. I said that I like Suella Braverman, having met her on a few occasions, and I believe she tried to do the right thing while Home Secretary. But for every Suella, there is a Naz Shah, Aspana Begum, Sayeeda Warsi, Yasmin Qureshi, Iqbal Mohammed, Ayoub Khan, Priti Patel, Sajid Javid, Rishi Sunak... and so on. Politicians who spend their time lobbying for the sectarian ethnic interests of their section of the Indian Subcontinent; who lobby for preferential treatment for India or Pakistan in trade deals and foreign policy; who push for more migration from their nations of origin; who campaign more on Gaza or Kashmir than their own constituencies; who deny the Pakistani rape gangs or downplay the threat of Islamic terror, out of a tribal sense of solidarity with the community that produces the perpetrators... I said that a constitutional change to prevent such MPs from turning Parliament into a patronage network for biraderi clans and foreign "communities" would be imperfect, but acceptable. It doesn't mean the children of immigrants can't be good politicians. But most have not put the British people first, above all others. No party is proposing that policy. I simply said I would support it, as an imperfect and precautionary measure, even if it excluded good people from standing as candidates, because it would minimise the risk of ethnic nepotism, patronage to immigrant groups, and the privileging of foreign countries (like India and Pakistan) by immigrant-heritage politicians. And as far as religion is concerned: We are a Christian country. Private observance is a matter of individual conscience. But the state shouldn't be giving funding or a public platform to foreign faiths and cultures. No, you shouldn't be using Parliament to lobby for your religion's interests. I don't care if you're Muslim, Hindu, Jewish, or Sikh. This is Britain, and we do things according to our culture, inextricably based on the Christian faith. If you don't like it, move somewhere else. There are plenty of countries that do things differently. Some of the outrage about this has been driven by people who feel such a standard would threaten their political career. It hasn't been driven by good-faith fears that they or their foreign-heritage friends might be mistreated — a fear I hope I have allayed here. I would remind them that this isn't about you. It's about fixing the country. I don't want to be an MP. I don't care if you do. In fact, if you're so desperate to be one that you demand we make special concessions for you, then you're the last person I would want in power. So, to recap: > I am neither an ethno-nationalist nor a civic nationalist. > The English, Scottish, Welsh, and Irish are ethnic groups. > Being British has meant belonging to the nations of England, Scotland, Wales, and (Northern) Ireland. > We might extend "British" identity to those of foreign heritage who are our friends and fit into our tribe. But people are less inclined to do so, because "British" has been rendered meaningless by post-War civic nationalism and mass migration. (The category might not have as hard a border as some would like, but Orwell and others observed that easy-going hypocrisy is a very English trait.) > The British people deserve primary concern and representation in their own national politics. > Foreign citizens should not be able to vote. Those born abroad should not be eligible to stand in elections. > We should not spend political time and energy pandering to foreign faiths, cultures, and "communities". It is just as sectarian when the Conservatives do it to Hindus, and Reform do it to Sikhs, as when Labour and the Greens do it to Muslims. Hope that clears that up.

@cryptopunk7213 It’s a GDPR right, can do this with any company

anthropic fucking killed it with this. so many people will start using claude. new feature lets you import your *entire* memory from chatGPT, Gemini etc into Claude so it *instantly* knows everything about you. no more reminding claude who you are. the best fucking part is it takes literally 60s: - copy and paste the below prompt into your alternative AI (eg chatgpt) - paste answer into claude’s “memory” settings and… you’re done. - Claude immediately picks up from the last conversation you had with it in chatgpt! the opportunity cost to switch to anthropic just went to zero - their app is currently #1 in the app store

@UBERSOY1 I’d just open the console and spawn air defence batteries if I were playing Iran, the games rigged

Here’s what I’d do if I was playing as Iran right now: 1. Shut off the strait of Hormuz: this will drastically increase the price of oil and bring international attention to Iran’s plight. 2. Generate as much popular support as you can. If it means forming a new government without the Ayatollah then so be it. Thankfully the Americans and the Israelis are helping to achieve this by committing mass war crimes against the Iranian civilians. 3. Sell yourself to Russia, China and Pakistan in exchange for weapons. Promise them everything and beyond. 4. Try to obtain a nuclear weapon from North Korea or Pakistan. China and Russia wouldn’t work. Likewise promise them everything and beyond. 5. Portray yourself as a victim defending against an unjustifiable war against two powerful nations that believe that you shouldn’t have an army to defend yourself. 6. Drag the war for as long as possible and attempt drag US into a land war to cause maximum political crisis within the United States. 7. Appeal to Turks and Arabs and make peace with them, stop funding proxies if it means they can assist you or at least support you diplomatically. But I bet they aren’t as smart to pull it off.

@DVATW Explain how bombs are stabilising ?

Wrong. Having a stable Middle East with Iran as an ally is in our interests. Charlie doesn't understand the issue beyond migration numbers.

@MrHreviews @GoodwinMJ Oh no we’re being foiled again by the sectarian politics that was completely foreseeable, it’s so unfair why would they vote like this.

Sure, but you won't deport them. Nigel didn't want to alienate Islam, doesn't want to deport people and thinks if you have a passport you're British. So we're screwed if you clowns gain power as it's literally just more of the same. Stop complaining about the problem when you don't have the balls to do something about it

This is not democracy. This is coercive, sectarian politics dressed up as democracy We are in deep, deep trouble

@curiouslobster_ @RupertLowe10 @Nigel_Farage Ceased being an issue after Suez

@RupertLowe10 @Nigel_Farage Freeing 90 million people from evil is justification to spend some taxpayer money Rupert. Us Brits have always been charitable. I know you hate Nigel but come on. We can do both. This was poor taste from you if i'm honest.

The Prime Minister needs to change his mind on the use of our military bases and back the Americans in this vital fight against Iran!

@Seoirse_ The battle for Barnes will be brief but bloody, the river crossing is a challenge but as we can see command is taking the necessary strategic decisions to overcome the issue of the Hammersmith bridge closure

Deeply enjoying the person who is using the Sloane rangers' Instagram group to try and build a private militia for God knows what in SW6

@Landeur Endorsed by Tommy is a cutting indictment, but not in the way Starmer intended 😂

🚨 Keir Starmer caught lying in parliament! 🚨 All fully English people are White. The English are an ethnic group native to England. No White person can be Yoruba. There are English people all over the world. The Government's own website acknowledges this scientific fact.
