News from the Mary Whitehouse Taliban state

My god, the UK state is clearly addicted to banning things for youngsters. Now the government says that it is seriously considering banning eBay and other online selling platforms, from being accessed by children, in order "to keep children safe". It's as though the anglosphere countries are competing with each other as to who can be most repressive concerning the liberty of kids. And those of us in one part of the anglosphere, like all good slaves, can't help but compare ourselves favourably with everywhere else, even when we are talking of minute differences. Oh, Britain's not so bad as the US - at least the sex offender registries aren't public! But then Britain decides to ban porn involving incest role play. Of course, it just means you use a VPN (if you're in to incest role play, that is), but still, you are officially a criminal for what you think, not what you do. So Britain now is just that little bit more tedious than the US. Still, we're not as bad as Australia. But then, oh dear, now we're actually trying to ban more stuff for the young than even bloody Australia. Where will this mania for restricting freedom end? Clearly the UK government and the Establishment parties ascribe no value whatever to freedom for the young; they are building for the kids a cage, and not even a gilded one. What this country needs is for the young to go out and riot; better still, we need a '68. Bring the whole rotten edifice tumbling down. But, as Bod says in Jubilee, “There’s so little electricity in this country, maybe it’s fused.” Right now, I feel I have no interest in my useless country. The only thing that seems to matter right now is: Free Palestine. A new world is struggling to be born, but first the old order must be completely destroyed. “The earlier culture will become a heap of rubble and finally a heap of ashes, but spirits will hover over the ashes.” (Wittgenstein)
