Kaum war dieser Dreiteiler Anfang 2024 in Großbritannien ausgestrahlt, ging ein politisches Erdbeben los. Diese Miniserie von James Strong und Gwyneth Hughes hat nicht nur ihr Fernsehpublikum bewegt, sondern auch eine längst überfällige Debatte wieder angeheizt und zu politischen Konsequenzen geführt. Wann hat Fernsehen das eigentlich zuletzt „bei uns“ vermocht? (ARTE, Wh.)

Reading about the Covid Inquiry and feeling a need to quote my own song again!

"It's the favour of your backers at stake
Our health is a sacrifice you're happy to make"

(Content note, song includes pointed language about death and callous behaviour)

Is it legal for police to use live facial recognition technology?
The Law Show

The Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood says she makes “no apology” for announcing the roll-out of Live Facial Recognition (LFR) to all the police services in England and Wales.

Under a government white paper on policing, the number of Live Facial Recognition vans will increase from 10 to 50.

Police say it’s groundbreaking technology in the fight against crime, but civil liberties groups say it’s authoritarian and a step towards a "surveillance state".

Facial recognition cameras are already used in shops; the difference with LFR is that the software used by police tracks faces against a watchlist - a specific database of faces - from a live video feed.

But the legal framework regulating the use of the technology is a patchwork of common law, human rights legislation and police guidelines, which has been challenged in the High Court.

There is also concern about a lack of oversight over how police watchlists are compiled, and why the number of people on the list now stretches into the thousands.

So is LFR legal?

I do go on about #RishiSunak being a complete dunderhead ("fuckwit") who is greatly responsible for Palantir shit in the UK and genius moves like use of #VerificationProcess for no discernible reason other than mass authoritarian perving but one can never forget #FidoDarding ... I mean #DidoHarding who also is a massive idiot.

Dido is to tech as #LizTruss was to the economy.

Many people in the UK do not know just how infested government and local government has become with the strategies of the US Department of Homeland Security. (Of course, the UK government also has its own long history of paranoia, prejudice and abuse.)

The Conservative government introduced "Verification Checks" which were carried out at local venues a few years ago (yay, e'en before #RishiSunak ).

This is one of the latest. It's library membership.

"Your library membership expires after a set period."

The Curse of Rishi Sunak. #RishiSunak

England’s contested 1,100-year anniversary passed with little public interest, reflecting a broadly unbothered national identity, even as a small but vocal far-right English nationalism gains visibility. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2026/01/19/world/being-properly-english/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #uk #england #tommyrobinson #donaldtrump #nigelfarage #mikenesbitt #georgeorwell #johnmajor #rishisunak #labour #tories #reformuk #conservativeparty #ulsterunionistparty #maga #englishdefenceleague

Tories would rather crash the Economy than give Government money to people they haven't been bought dinner by.
Michelle Mone didn't have any problems, did she?

Yeah we know, thousands died for the Economy which slowed anyway because people were afraid to go in public and catch the virus which was killing thousands....
