Live picture of Lord Denning telling the House of Lords he would look at Hansard and there's absolutely nothing they could do to stop him because he just wouldn't mention it in his judgments.
Without getting to into it, the overall British tradition (unlike the American tradition) is extremely hostile to legislative history, though you had rebels like Lord Denning quip that he'd just check Hansard and not tell anyone haha. Pepper was only in the 90s and is still really controversial and rare

Its one thing to introduce laws to protect children and the vulnerable. But its another to use the same laws as a back door to censor people from raising concerns about government agencies
Upon deeper analysis The Digital Duty of Care Bill seems designed as part of a global censorship push to introduce sweeping surveillance powers.
Incredible analysis from Margaret Chamber ( institute of Public Affairs) who has uncovered a hidden amendment to the Privacy Act which unleashes the eSafety Commissioner’s ability to gather massive information on people.
Where information on political views, biometric data, religious believes, ethnicity could be collected without consent and could be shared overseas with regulators like OfCom.

Tasers have increased the willingness of police to use force because it's 'less than lethal'.
Tasers should be banned. They would not have shot her, they didn't need to taser her.
I'd ban stun and gas grenade use as well. In Tas they throw them into homes with children present.

Palantir CEO Alex Karp: AI labs supplement the cost of tokens so they can steal your alpha
"The reason tokens are discounted is not so they can grow the market.”
“They're discounted so that they can get access to your IP so that their models get better. And there was functionally no honest conversation about this or disclosure."
"Our partners are livid. The kind of safety they're most upset about is what they believe is the theft of their alpha."

She just keeps getting worse.
"eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant has urged Australia not to “squander” the attack on independent MP Helen Haines, using the incident as an "opportunity" to renew her push for sweeping online safety measures."

Heard of a top law firm completely cutting off Harvey and all API calls to Claude/OpenAI after they saw what openAI did with navier strokes
Now hosting everything locally with GPUs they own, running Kimi and deepseek
Think you’ll see a lot more of this going forward
