🤷♂️ Why would they want to come here anyway? So they can have their face scanned? Or their social media analyzed? Or be pulled off the street and deported by ICE for no reason?

UK politicians are as bad as any in the West. They manage to keep up the facade they aren’t fascists, but they are ahead of us in a lot of things, illegalizing protest, allowing politicians to unilaterally declare protest groups, direct police to arrest anyone protesting that issue as terrorist, they cancelled jury trials for up to 3 years in prison, cancelled for up to 1 year in 2020.
They created a masterbaitorbase, for national security purposes they’ve to know all the pages you’ve considered whacking off to, making you connect your likeness and id to your accounts and ip, keeping a record of everything you’ve done or said and subjecting it to ai threat detection run by palantir type companies to make secret social scores to be used against us. Together with age checks, they surrendered their populations to tech for a copy of the feed in effect.
What else, labor has done all of this too, the supposed good option, in a short period went full fascist.

I agree, but one one specific point:
As someone who has gone through developed vetting, GCHQ already know everything you’ve considered whacking odd to and every message you’ve sent over a public channel.

Yes, but that is limited to natsec folks. This is meant to be held in a way lower level govt, business, oligarchs, hackers, foreign intelligence, other groups can access, I suspect.
Most importantly I think tech will be holding it, or have copied it to data banks. Fed to ai to make assumptions about us. I bet.
