Really top-notch logic there in the UK. Brexit's finest.




>Really top-notch logic there in the UK. Brexit's finest.

Relax. This is an example of some jobsworth in West Midlands, who has binge-watched Mr. Robot, got carried away trying to impress the boss' and released this under the cover of 'Safer Internet Day 2020' initiative. It is not a UK policy and it is definitely not related to Brexit.

This hasn't made it into the news cycle outside of social media, because of other pressing matters like Covid-19, storms, cabinet reshuffle etc. Once it does, most tech savvy Brits will be having a good laugh, while others will ignore the message entirely and start searching for these tools ─ either way it is a non-story.

The post was unnecessarily injecting political opinions and their view of the average intellect of those who hold others. It was humor, just not good humor. (And I'm even a strong Brexit opponent; though American.)
