In French, we have this saying: 'qui veux tuer son chien l’accuse d’avoir la rage." which could very roughly read as ‘when one wishes to kill their dog, they say it’s rabid.’
“Alas, every citizen must have microchips surgically inserted into their brains at birth, with all sensory perception backed up to government servers — for your protection — otherwise how do we know you’re not diddling kids while un-surveilled?”
It’s disgusting that their argument is that if you are not in favor of their draconian war on civil liberties then you are a pedophile. That’s what they are saying, and I hate that it works so well on the general public.
I’ve been expecting it for a few years: VPNs will be outlawed for average users (aka, us) and only journalists, NGO, lawyers, govs and so on, will be allowed to use one.

Edit: For context, I’m from France which, exactly like the UK, is another of those perfectly working democracy that has not forgotten who the real boss of the Nation is supposed to be. We’re ruled by the most competent an honest leaders, quite obviously. Edit: helped in their task by incredibly efficient and competent journalists, like this Guardian paper demonstrates (/s ?)
