    Yes.

    Oh, and for you history buffs, here is the Parliament debate of May 8, 1940 that forced the change in government to Mr. Churchill as PM.

    Chamberlain puts his foot in his mouth at 4:53.
    Lloyd George delivers a rapier thrust at a bit before 6:10 But read the whole thing starting at 5:37.
    Churchill delivers his defense of the government's actions at 10:11 pm.

    In one of those historical coincidences, 5 years later the European War ended.

        Looks like a standard leftist platform to me. Lets see how it plays out.

            Latest poll has May up by merely one point over Labour.

              Hmm... this sure sounds a lot like the last polls in 16, or for Brexit. My instinct is the orcs are undercounted.

                Theresa May has unveiled a new plan to secure Britain's borders:

                https://boingboing.net/2017/06/04/th...ng-canute.html
                This, then, is what Theresa May is proposing:

                * All Britons' communications must be easy for criminals, voyeurs and foreign spies to intercept

                * Any firms within reach of the UK government must be banned from producing secure software

                * All major code repositories, such as Github and Sourceforge, must be blocked

                * Search engines must not answer queries about web-pages that carry secure software

                * Virtually all academic security work in the UK must cease -- security research must only take place in proprietary research environments where there is no onus to publish one's findings, such as industry R&D and the security services

                * All packets in and out of the country, and within the country, must be subject to Chinese-style deep-packet inspection and any packets that appear to originate from secure software must be dropped

                * Existing walled gardens (like Ios and games consoles) must be ordered to ban their users from installing secure software

                * Proprietary operating system vendors (Microsoft and Apple) must be ordered to redesign their operating systems as walled gardens that only allow users to run software from an app store, which will not sell or give secure software to Britons

                * Free/open source operating systems -- that power the energy, banking, ecommerce, and infrastructure sectors -- must be banned outright

                * Anyone visiting the country from abroad must have their smartphones held at the border until they leave
                Un. Fu. Ck. Ing. Believable.

                  I'm surprised she didn't comment on the internet tubes with that derp.

                      In the article, the cell phone line is third from the bottom, but gets burried with the other completely asinine ideas. It stands out much more on the end of the list.

                      This would also impact banking information, online shopping, corporate e-mail, the use of Linux/Unix/Android, etc.

                      It's like she asked her kids where they downloaded their Minecraft mods from onto her "secure" laptop and panicked.

                        Does anybody ever ask the question: if conservatives are so tough on terrorism why do terrorist attacks keep happening on their watch? Now the fault of terrorism lies with the terrorists, but somehow I don't see a more successful effort out of righties in countering it than I do out of lefties.
