so what are the reasons Scotland is stronger in the UK
scotland trades more with the uk than the rest of the world
60% to 40%
scotland generates 8% of the UKs tyaxes but receives 9.3% of public spending
62 to 73 bn
~2k pa per person
scotlands deficit is twice that of both the uk and the EU minimum
half a million jobs in scotland rely on the UK
Can we talk about the British crack down on internet freedoms
And their apparent wish to have a Chinese style surveillance system
Facial recognition cams and a British firewall
i believe it
They've already trialled the systems
Why do you think they picked Huawei
Because China sells its surveillance tech
They sold it to African nations
GCHQ has the biggest sigint in the world
They're selling it to the Brits
recently wasnt that
Head covering people were stopped and added to the cam db
Brexit might have been a mistake
i dont think its brexit related
Perhaps they'll use the overwhelming majority to push this through
The Tories have been hungry for this for a while
culturally britain is very socialist
very safety before freedom
this is jsut the natural escalation of that
I've seen them getting more aggressive with technology policy
Being an it nerd
N that
I honestly think that's the big next fight post brexit
you're being optimistic
Killing the globalist authoritarians policies
i dont know that many people who are anti surveillance state
Kind of hard when everyone in politics is a follower of this ideology
The NwO meme
Kind of came true
The censorship is more of a concern then the surveillance
