Why just online? Isn't it about time we stop letting car-makers and construction companies get away with helping terrorists? I say all cars and rooms in houses should be fitted with mandatory listening devices, constantly transmitting to government servers. Encrypted, of course, with a court warrant required for the police to decrypt the data. That should put those privacy extremists' fears to rest.

Out of touch with technology, terrified of change, disconnected with the younger generation. So many people vote without knowing the party policies. "My dad voted Tory, I vote Tory."

- monk_e_boy 9y agoWhat other explanation do you have to the Tories winning by a landslide? The majority of voters like them I.e. a huge section of the UK population) A large percentage of people under 25 don't vote.
