Pornography on buses and trains? Is that a thing now? Oh, well, that's 40 years of the "free" market for you. But the technology exists to require age verification, so the technology exists to block those sites altogether. From the entire country. By law.
Another hung Parliament is coming, and our people need to hold the balance of power in it. My crowdfunding page is here, or email davidaslindsay@hotmail.com for other options. That address accepts PayPal.
This battle must not, however, become mixed up with the collapsing #MeToo phenomenon. One of the charges against Harvey Weinstein himself has been dropped, with such inevitable publicity that it is effectively impossible to expect the unanimous verdict of guilty that California would still require for conviction of the remaining charges.
While he is back in England, Cristiano Ronaldo ought to issue libel writs against Kathryn Mayorga and every London outlet that had published her claims. That would make him a lot more than she claims that he paid her. Brett Kavanaugh should also consider the "sue you in England" tactic.
Ah, yes. Brett Kavanaugh. The only effect of #MeToo has been to confirm to the Supreme Court a man who on any one or more of torture, Guantánamo Bay, mass surveillance, workers' rights, consumer protection, environmental responsibility, treaties with Native Americans, healthcare for people with pre-existing conditions (that is, people like me), the President's supposed immunity from indictment, and the President's supposed power to pardon himself, could easily have been blocked by enough Republicans and all Democrats, plus Bernie Sanders and Angus King.
But instead, the useless Democratic Party made it about a #MeToo and #IBelieveHer story that it was impossible to prove, so he was confirmed, even complete with the vote of one Democrat. I hope that that party is exactly as proud as it ought to be of this significant addition to its long history of uselessness and worse on the issues of torture, Guantánamo Bay, mass surveillance, workers' rights, consumer protection, environmental responsibility, treaties with Native Americans, healthcare for people with pre-existing conditions, and checks on Presidential power.
