Oh give over. This is politician led. If you think this is some civil servant's unilateral wet dream you have a serious misunderstanding of how the UK government and the civil service work. You would do better reading up on these institutions than blaming all the countries ill's on some nebulous idea of "Civil Servants as Illuminati".


I would read more about the new powers that Ofcom has...the type of person who bloviates online about everyone else being stupid tends not to have actually checked what is going on.

Also, none of these laws are led by politicians. All the communications-related offences were led by security services. Do you know when Molly actually passed? 2017? And you are telling me that a law passed in 2025 is related? A law which largely contains things unrelated to her passing (i.e. significant expansion of Ofcom powers).

It is genuinely funny that people who have no idea about politics...as in first-hand knowledge which will just imagine that everything works the way they assume it must work. At the very least, you should exercise some common sense: we have seen multiple Home Office ministers pass through, ministers are gaining no new extra powers, Ofcom staffing has gone up by thousands, the amount of graft that has already gone on is staggering...but the one's to blame are, conveniently, the ones who are always blamed...but seem to be strangely unable to do anything...you cannot possibly be this credulous.


I cant understand it for you, sorry. You seem to be in a bit of a bubble that I don't have the time or inclination to extract you from.
