    Well that’s bound to be popular.

      Honestly it does feel like he’s campaigning for them at this stage. I don’t think anyone is going to like this policy, even the far-right who he is trying to appease with this aren’t going to trust a mandatory government app on their phones.

        Those eejits get their knickers in a twist over the emergency alerts broadcast system! Which is one of the most privacy respecting methods of communication on your phone!

      Well, this will do nothing to hinder illegal migration. So the question is what do they want it for?

    No, thanks. Waste our money on something else. How about waterslides?
