Welcome to the UK (Score 4, Interesting)

I can assure you, being a resident of the UK, that this doubtlessly disenfranchises more people than it takes care of. While our broadband rollout is appalling our economy and education are second to everyone. Basically, old browsers and old computers will rule out more people than 32K of compressed javascript. The government of the UK hates the working class. They have a success mechanism revolving around exploiting their fears and as such see every opportunity to increase those fears. Lack of access and education breeds stupidity, stupidity breeds fear, fear breeds the easily led. This is the Tory mantra. They are almost literally the Sith of politics. Almost no one hear can see or hear it, they're caught up in the wrangles between left and right, often in the same party. Often in engineered controversy, manufactured and employed. Tick tock. We're a hairs breadth away from facism over here. A prime minister that can evade any controversy isn't even regarded as blatant.
