I wonder how long it would take for "a crime scene image from" to be quietly dropped should this pass. I'll guess about .0005 New York minutes.

If "nuclear good" was true, the proposed power stations would have been approved in 2010 and be on-stream by now. We also would have reduced gas imports so wouldn't have cared much if anything happened to NordStream or has prices thanks to a certain Russian president's "military operations".

Instead we have "nuclear bad, we'll just let the populace pay through the nose to foreign companies for their energy. Why, yes, I am a shareholder, since you ask".

Also note the fine amount. They looked at GDPR maximum fines (4% of turnover) and just picked a higher number to make it look like they're serious. In reality, not one fine will be collected as the companies will just tell them to fuck off. They already know this, so no fine will be issued in the first place. It's all "think of the children" bullshit.

Also: if I'm not about to upload an image of my driving license for age / identity verification for the NHS app I'm certainly not going to do so for a porn site just because the sex pests in government want to restrict the electorate from doing something they freely do in the House of Commons.
