UK Election

It was.


So you're happy, instead, with a government that might potentially roll back LGBT rights?

Depends on what you mean by rights. There are rights that everybody should share regardless of private sexual dysfunctionality. So employment,property rights, equality before law on most matters are protected. But yes I do not think that the law should affirm a lie like gay "marriage" though I have no issue with civil contracts. Also gay people should not be allowed to adopt. Some of the trans gender rubbish being pushed around right now is more to do with mental illness than actual transitory states. Basically the state should not be affirming dysfunctional activities nor buying into the deceptive language and concepts of political correctness.

Sadly this is still likely to be in the queens speech. Though how they intend to criminalise non violent extremism when DUP MPs are on record just this year supporting the genocide of Catholics in Northern Ireland, and in the 90's supporting terrorist groups advocating holding the catholic population hostage.
Meet the DUP MPs who now hold the balance of power

We have come a long way since the 90s and Sinn Fein and the DUP have some shared interest in the prosperity of Northern Ireland in keeping good relations and trade with the republic and in securing whatever investment they can get in Irish infrastructure and in the post BREXIT situation for Irish farmers. The government cannot jeopardise the Good Friday agreement but needs the Irish votes is the basic dilemma. The DUP have a strong negotiating position but also no interest in allowing this government to fall and let Labour in. So they have a good hand but cannot overplay it.

They're still legitimate voters, despite their unusually high turnout.


Theresa May spoke about banning encryption, instituting a ban or regulation of "fake news" (a disturbing premise indeed), spoke of imposing adult content filters on all 18+ websites (not sure what that entails either) with the implied threat of blocking websites that did not conform, and did not rule out the prospect of trying to build a Great Firewall not unlike China's internet.

For most internet users these changes would make little difference. People would have to substantiate or qualify what they say better. Basically conversation in the virtual world would be become more consequential and compliant with the laws of the land. Adults might have to jump through a few extra hoops to get their inappropriate content and child inappropriate contentography would no longer be available.

But she added things like this and the dementia tax to her manifesto in error. Basically she either misread the voting publics reaction or seriously overestimated her position.

Affirming gay marriage is an assertion, not a lie. No-one cares that you think marriage should be exclusively defined by Christianity. Not sure why gay people should be blocked from adopting.

Because most internet users just sit on Facebook and Twitter, and in theory, those sites would have to become adult-locked because of the content on there.

People would have to substantiate or qualify what they say better.

Excuse me? What do you mean by this? How does Theresa May's plans regarding the internet impact on this?

Basically conversation in the virtual world would be become more consequential and compliant with the laws of the land. Adults might have to jump through a few extra hoops to get their inappropriate content and child inappropriate contentography would no longer be available.

The immediate impact would be that a lot of inappropriate contentographic website hosting material that harms no-one would be blocked, and some would never become available. Along with niche websites with 'extreme' content that does not come under inappropriate content.
