She looks like she's wearing a mask that got left in the rain.
AngryBritishDude
Funny thing is how bad shes fucked herself. Basically any ruling just needs 5 tory MPs to disagree and it can't pass.
MinorityOpinion
Yep, back-benchers are in charge now.

Good riddance I say. March 29 in the year of 2019 there will be one less paranoid nation to deal with. Next up, Sweden.
Tostboi
I'm from the States but I really hope she gets fired and replaced with someone from the labor party.
wheresthetone
Theresa may but I hope she doesn't
GentlemanScientist
You... you might be on to something here.
ManMashine
Oh trust me, if you understand the EU, you have all reasons to ban it. Unless you're one of the politics maggots who gets all the benefits.
SomeCrazyNerd
She actually was neutral on the referendum.
Wombatant
Considering she doesn't like human rights, guessing she doesn't understand those either.
FuzzyX
Criminals are humans. How society deals with criminals refects how they respect the public also.

Isn't this the same bitch who just called an election and ended up deadlocked? Her sense of timing blows.

She got what she wanted. Now she doesn't have to handle Brexit in her term.

I don't understand gravity. Let's ban it.
DemoB0y
All she had to do was shut up until after the election. Apperently that was TOO difficult. Fucking wanker.
mdzmdz
Quite. And if you're going to appear a bitch you need to appear to be competent
mdzmdz
The Spectator did a good article about how it's been a repeat of Gordon Brown where people were giving praise for being "plain spoken"
mdzmdz
When actually it was just that they were shit at politics
Swiffty
Hopefully the person who replaces her, won't share this view. Although that's probably asking too much of the Tories.

Mog for PM!

Most of her Staff retired, by choice, because of the bad result. BUT she stays...what a bloody joke is this?
Selerox
Not by choice. May was told by her party "get rid of your advisors or we remove you".
Swiffty
She's gonna have to step down sooner or later. She was the one who called the election, promised a majority Torie government, and fucked it
reineseele
royally she f*cked it. i am still amazed tha the Queen didnt slapped her for all women and stuff...
Swiffty
I'd pay good money to see the queen gift May with a swift backhand
FungusForge
As an American I'd pay to see the Queen gift anybody a swift backhand.
Swiffty
I predict she'll be gone by August
mdzmdz
Normally she would be but with the Brexit clock ticking there isn't time
JudgeJack
Don't forget she said if Human Rights laws get in the way, she'll change those too. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election-2017-40181444
mdzmdz
I'm quite fine with being able to deport terrorists despite their cats. The cats however can stay.
krapmyself
She even looks like a miserable cunt.
IjazSSJ3
well that my friend is a very accurate description
stret
If it looks like a miserable cunt and talks like a miserable cunt chances are it's a miserable cunt - and she is.
YoSoFunny
thats because she is
ActionJohnnie
You could replace the May with Trump and the story is pretty similar. God speed England, we Yanks have our own window licker to deal with.
LesbiansAwwYiss
Can the rest of the UK have godspeed too? :(

Great read here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/40232154 Explains how she absorbs so much bad advice (but not why she's so useless herself).

Thanks for the article!

Sorry, *top. (A combination of autocorrect interference and poor proof-reading.)
FrankyBabes
Nick and Fiona have been kicked out of Number 10
Individualsocksinthewashingmachine
Mainly due to her incompetence
mangostar
They've both resigned now
romanaclef
That's supposed to be 'top' rather than 'two'. Autocorrect jumped in and I didn't notice until I'd posted and people started replying.
KeeleonOhms
Shutting down the internet wont affect her if she doesnt use it. Kind of like how its easy for non gun owners to say "ban all guns".
KeeleonOhms
They dont realize the trickling loss in liberty and freedom until its too late.
romanaclef
..grandparents might say. There is no excuse for these people not to understand at least the basics of this technology.
AlIYourBaseAreBelongToUs
Most gvrnments and so called specialist in the West have no real idea about Internet and freedom of news and info. It scares them shitless.
yowelcomedumbass
She knows. She just dosent care
onlyhalfghost
I suspect her aim is a great deal more sinister that just not caring.
yowelcomedumbass
Yeah big brother 1984 stuff
PiggyWobbles
probably because it is marketed towards grandparents who a) vote and who b) don't understand how the interwebs works
MoepsDump
Should've voted for the Pirate Party.
romanaclef
That would've been difficult. They weren't standing in (m)any constituencies. (Vale of Glamorgan? Manchester Central?)
tatadas
What you noobs don't get is that people like Trump are actually talking more to older people, because it's them they're interested in. 1/2
tatadas
So it not "oh my God this person is so oblivious" but rather "This person has voters very different from me, and he's 100% aware about it".
romanaclef
So, firstly, not a noob - there's a good chance I'm older than you. Secondly, that's hugely patronising to young and old. Thirdly, bad...
romanaclef
..policy making is bad policy making regardless of the understanding of your audience.
whothatwhothatatmydoor
As with most religiously brought up people, the solution is 'more punishment', and education/information is the enemy if it disagrees.
mdzmdz
Generally that's true but I think with the internet if you don't use it you won't "get" it.
ThatGuyWhoThinksEveryoneIsAPineapple
The government still uses Windows XP as their standard operating system. XP in the world of technology is fucking ancient!
VindictiveRidge
I finally upgraded to Win 10 this year from XP. My friends were disappointed because I didn't act like I'd just seen God
aegis27
That's less because they don't understand tech, and more because upgrading is expensive, time consuming and ultimately unnecessary for them.
Rakugabi
Updating cost money and SP2 is fairly robust. You can still see companies running on DOS. If it suits their needs, why change it?
aether11
yeah it's not even supported by MS anymore, so no security patches etc.
ThatGuyWhoThinksEveryoneIsAPineapple
Actually, the government actually paid Microsoft to update XP after they discontinued support.
ZuIthar
This. It's cheaper to update XP than it is to update all the shit they have that runs on XP
aether11
Well then I appear to be misinformed
GiraffeicsInterchangeFormat
So, does everyone get those updates or just the government?
adobesubmarine
As someone who just spent 10 weeks really learning how the internet works, it's OK not to. Just don't legislate as though you do.
romanaclef
I don't expect them to be able to compare and contrast OSI and TCP/IP models. But they ought to consult with people who can before speaking.
kiwiflavored
Grandparents are her main voter demographic. Gotta play to the base
reineseele
Most of her Staff retired, by choice, because of the bad result. BUT she stays...what a bloody joke is this?
mdzmdz
They would have been forced out if they hadn't resigned. Much to blame for all the fuckups.
chillinoodles
By most, you mean two advisers?
reineseele
if you got 100 u wont have time to get anything done...righ
heyletsbefriends
context?
Mimsey
May said "Enough is enough" and detailed problems with Islam. But also called for internet censorship to deal with radical Islam. [1]
Mimsey
Everyone chose to ignore her remarks on Islam being a root source of the terrorist attacks and focus in on the internet remarks. [2]
Mimsey
50% of what she said was conciliatory. 40% was anti-Islam. 10% was pro-censorship. Everyone only talks about the internet bit. [3]
Mimsey
I assume apologists are just exhausted from defending Islam after so many attacks. [4]
williamvanauger
Since it wasnt mentioned by anyone else. there was a mention of making the UK internet a closed system that cant access the outside too.
ILieForPoints
Once the internet becomes too regulated, we create our own network of interconnected computers and start at Web 1.0 again.
RHFiesling
really???
ImaginaryChicken
Yep. And she'll get away with it once she can rid herself of 'pesky' EU Data Laws...
Hendlton
They also want to make foreigners leave their electronics at the border because they'd contain secure software and that wouldn't be allowed.

Dugalug

MeanWinchester
I think by "Context?" he means "Source?"
uzerok
Basically she thinks private businesses on the internet facilitate terrorism by providing communication platforms and privacy.
ThatsMySecretCapImAlwaysHorny
Maybe she should have a go at whoever is responsible for building the roads or the van the shitheads drove while she's at it then
introxx
And you can thwart terrorism if you just give up your rights. We all know terrorist will never talk in person.
IndigoWendigo
Quick! Let's shut down Royal Mail!
romanaclef
The British Prime Minister wants to force companies to provide backdoor keys into encrypted system (banks, ecommerce?), ban/limit/backdoor..
catswearcapes
and wants to keep records of every single site each member of the public uses for up to a year
FenellaKettleWitch
And she has refused to rule out implementing a Chinese-style state run internet
Wyattcon11
People like her should be ridiculed and denounced as enemies of freedom. They should also be taught how technology works.
Goronhead
Well, that sure is a good way for everything to get hacked.
SEGSan
Britains privacy laws always looked quite dystopian to me, but I guess Germany isn't better.
Jusmar
Remember when having a backdoor crippled the NHS, and fucked most of Europe? Lots of people WannaCry'd about that. She doesn't apparently
gestaltist
As someone who works in a company dealing with Internet security: 99% of people don't understand or care about it, sadly.
gestaltist
Until they get hacked, that is...
gingerloaf
then they still dont, they just blame it on "the bakkdoor" and not the fact it shouldn't be there
Locke108
Theres a difference between an exploit and a backdoor. Wannacry wasn't a backdoor.
Jusmar
It utilized DoublePulsar(backdoor) installed via EternalBlue(exploit) through SMB. http://blog.talosintelligence.com/2017/05/wannacry.html
Jusmar
Governmental agencies developing the tools to gain, or demand, persistent access to a system leads to issues of unprecedented scale.
WoodfordTheDog
You could argue that an exploit is an unplanned backdoor. If someone gets access to the backdoor you could easily have another wannacry...
stvhunt132
Like what Comey tried to do here in the US after the San Bernardino shooting.
romanaclef
Only much, much more far reaching. US has 1st Am protections that don't exist in the UK. There's applicable legislation in that she wants...
romanaclef
..rid of. There's the ECHR ( that will lose jurisdiction) and there's legal and historical precedent - overruled by new legislation.
stvhunt132
I'm not as versed but it sounds bad. I hate the direction world leaders are trying to push things
romanaclef
..p2p encryption and encrypted communication apps, monitor and regulate Web access (deep packet inspection a la the great firewall?)...
romanaclef
In truth, it's kind of hard to know _exactly_ what May intends from a technical pov, because no clear details have been stated. But the...
romanaclef
..things she's mooted are quite frightening if you think about actually implementing them. There could be no www, just a govt approved net.
Entelejint
Becoming the new China?
Tehpest22
So like a completely controlled net? Like a school blocking websites but country wide and at an insane level? Wtf
willfullyspooning
I understand those words but not the meaning, would you put it into layman s terms for me please?
ThatsMySecretCapImAlwaysHorny
Thing is, if I was a terrorist i'd make my own encrypted chat program with no back door
CapitalNick
Now in English.
Beartornado
Sounds like someone worth putting a bullet in.
TangoIndiaTangoSierra
Sounds like goofy Trump is back on the o.k. list...ouch
jimicus
She can already demand banks turn over details of customers. The issue is organisations that can't easily be forced to do stuff like that.
Anfalicious
Like getting banks to turn over details of wealthy customers.
romanaclef
It isn't so much that individual's transactions aren't hidden from the govt, (that's another debate) it's that backdooring the encryption..
romanaclef
..or sharing the keys weakens everybody's protection. It's not just your govt that might have a use for people's bank details.
jimicus
Only the media suggested backdooring encryption wholesale. The government said backdooring services they can't otherwise subpoena.
jimicus
The difference is subtle, but important because otherwise you're fighting the wrong argument.
romanaclef
I clarified elsewhere that it was a combination of backdoors, shared keys and outlawing access to encryption software. I'm already long...
BeTheHammer
What on earth makes them think spying on everyone is going to prevent terrorism? Once it's lost they can switch to a bible code
Jusmar
They're afraid of what they don't understand so they want to kill it or control it.
FuzzyX
All about government control. Spying on all has many uses even if Terrorists switch to their own safe communication.
BeTheHammer
So we've lost our privacy and they carry on using a simple cypher
Hendlton
They don't. They already have info on terrorists and they do nothing about it. This is purely spying on citizens for financial reasons.
mentallychallengeaccepted
SHE WANTS TO CLOSE IT DOWN? BUT WHERE WILL I FIND TENTACLE INCEST PORN?..

Tentacle incest? I can only wonder how some octopus monster is related to a Japanese school girl.

drderpymd
Japanese VPN.
mentallychallengeaccepted
DOES VPN STAND FOR "VULGAR PORN JAPAN"? BECAUSE ID LIKE THAT
Andolomar
No VPNs either.
SomeCrazyNerd
If there's one thing the internet will not abide by; it's taking it's porn.
Andolomar
Porn's already on it's way out. It's illegal to produce fetish porn in the UK. That was one of May's too, whilst she was Home Secretary.
SomeCrazyNerd
Oh for fuck's sake.
