@iankenway I think most governments in the world are lulled into a sense of security thinking that their people will *NOT* revolt against them. That is absurd and governments, as they stand, should be very afraid of their people - like how you would be wary of a sleeping lion. You wouldn't try poking it, would you?

The same with Brexit. The UK parties seem very confident that people won't revolt. Time to change that, I guess.

If this trend continues I'll suggest a modified version of the #Labour slogan:

For the few, not the many.

I've noted this before...

Con: 40% (-1)
Lab: 34% (-5)
LD: 10% (+3)
Green: 4% (-)
UKIP: 4% (+1)

UK government is a shambles, but the official opposition is going backwards. I wonder why.

this might come as a shock, but google, a company whose primary revenue source is advertising, might be collecting your data

@garbados @Elizafox The real evil industries are so extensively compartmentalized that engineers or researchers have little idea what they're contributing to, and bosses just lie to them about who the customers are. Outsourcing is rarely about efficiency or cost reduction, it's about controlling the workforce.
