    I remember watching this with my parents when I was 8 or 9. They were Depression Era people -- not demonstrative in any way.

    I do not think I ever saw either of them laugh any harder.

      Yes, it's almost like there's sabotage going on there. Those data networking restrictions should have most of the educated country in an uproar, knowing that they can only help deflate London's presence on the world finance stage. Finance relies on tech. London needs finance. Restricting tech restricts finance. If I were concerned about these issues, I'd expect large companies find another nation to house my important trade secrets and client data that's more hospitable to those needs. That's a domestic jobs reduction plan by Miss May.

        Those are really deep in the weeds though, right? I'm sure Wired and Slate are up in arms, but the average Brit probably can't spell ISPA.

          No, they wouldn't be the biggest group of Brits to understand directly, but when finance companies and universities announce(d) their reactions to these initiatives using plainer speech, people will understand the ramifications.

              Not last week it wasn't. You're delayed in your response here, Kep.

                  Well, it was 3 days ago, but that could be even better. Info gets spread fast these days, as I understand it. Fresh info sticks better in voters' minds than important issues these days.

                      Hung Parliament with Conservatives holding the most seats.

                        I'll bet 300 Tory - 270 Labor and May will face some really tough language from her party.
