Have you seen the video of Peter Thiel being asked about his surveillance and that people don't want it , as he's walking along a road in a city? Oosh, whoever did it , great work, this Thiel bloke is SO full of hate and smugness but he is SO stressed out by it all too. You can see it in his cheek, demeanour and silent anger. What a prick ! This stuff definiteky works, well done Ben !

thanks Andy, yes I saw that and shared on my Telegram earlier today. He is clearly very unhappy, and utterly shameless.! The guy who filmed it is Dan Dicks https://x.com/DanDicksPFT/status/1933231013280289136

Pleasing to think that 'THEY' are watching UKC, perhaps wearing incontinence pants, and pushing the panic button when you blow the whistle. Her resignation may have been coincidental, however, the possibility that it was not remains strong.

Whether or not you were responsible, the announcement is very welcome. Congratulations Mr Rubin on a job well done.

Ben, it's my intention to look into this organisation a bit more but I know that the road to hell is paved with good intentions so I am parking this here in case I don't get to it. There are multiple personal reasons I want to look into this...https://creativetw.com/

They might not realise they're up to no good. When I questioned their mission I was met with the usual motherhood-and-apple-pie responses.

What sort of British civil servant would take a job trashing everything that makes us British? Looking at her brilliant career she seems to have spent the vast majority of the last 20 years working for the British government in what I and I'm sure most British people regard as completely useless non-jobs wasting taxpayer's money. One would hope when the British economy bites the dust that will be the end of such non-jobs but I won't hold my breath.

A friend of mine had a non-job working for free in a council "Art for All" project and he did that job for 5 or 6 years and then for some reason they decided a trained artist like him giving his time freely wasn't what the council wanted so they hired a young woman who hasn't half the qualifications he has and they pay her a great salary and a pension. He still works at the centre for free and still does everything he always did and he has no idea what she actually does except take a fat salary and pension. Such non-jobs are rife in the UK and seem to be handed mainly to women for some reason. Another friend who has a small management training company was told by a senior woman at the council that the council would always try to put work her way rather than give work to men who were in the same business and that she knew were better qualified than her as a few of them had trained her. Such utter nonsense and illegality is rife in councils. Back in the day 50 years ago half our councillors were charged with fraud and some sent to prison for doing not one half of what councillors do today and nothing is done about it.

So no global tyranny is not even remotely on the run even if she did leave because of the piece, it is still out there in every council up and down the land and they are getting away with it because the police and prosecutors will not act as they used to do without fear or favour.

What does make us ‘British’ and what does ‘British’ mean now?
