A community dedicated to documenting, discussing and critiquing government overreach from the UK Government in terms of censorship, freedom of speech and right to privacy and private communication.

Rules (literally 1984, I know)

Not dedicated to one idea or the other. Censorship in general should be called out.
Keep it on topic. Don’t turn this into a discussion space dedicated to the ideas or things that the British Government may be censoring (Except for commentary in the comment sections, provided it’s civil - we don’t want people falling out here)
Parody posts are allowed (like the Boris Johnson clubcard points meme or links to relevant Tom Scott videos) as long as they don’t get too much
Posts must be generally based around the UK and actions of the UK government. Articles about propositions by opposition parties and such are also fine. This community isn’t set up to critcise on one specific political party
Article titles mustn’t be changed too much unless necessary to add context. When doing so, use brackets, except for when expanding abbreviations
Try not to get arrested
We are not responsible for loss of clubcard points
