That is, watering it down."

@pre@boing.worldYou'll never need a digital ID for NHS
Says Starmer, and literally the only people in the entire world who believe him is the UK press.
He doesn't believe it himself, the civil servants making the policy don't believe it, the programmers making the app don't believe it, the public at large don't believe anything he says.
Only the reporters show any credence at all. They are programmed to just repeat the words without even assessing if they are true. That's what journalism is now.

@bibbleco@infosec.exchangePure political theatre. When the previous guy was released by mistake, someone on the radio mentioned en passant that it happens 250 times a year, or five times a week. Someone obviously just stuck a PostIt note on their calendar, a couple of weeks ahead, saying "Ask the HO how many more prisoners have been released by mistake".
@markhburton@mstdn.socialStarmer: "It's un-British to have so little respect for others."
He conveniently ignores that more than 60,000 people murdered. 40,000 with life-changing injuries. Their homes and towns, the whole landscape flattened.
Murder is murder, wherever and whoever.
