@EU_Commission @EC_Commissioner_Breton why should Twitter care about Europe wants? It doesn’t need be based there subject to Euro law & folks can access it through VPN so Europe can’t stop citizens using. I’m not Twitter fan but equally Europe are regulation control junkies. You might think they can restrict advertising but advertisers are multinationals and can get round it. Thank heavens my country UK dumped EU and lots of its nonsense.

@nedhamson why, do we not change law so can use extremely intense resources identify locate crims then wherever in the world use special forces extract secretly like Bin Laden, then execute them publicly on social media video, as a message that henceforth penalty is death and no cybcrim is safe anywhere ever again then do it a few more time so clear not a one off. Up the price, all the way. Saudi Arabia, Singapore, crimes can be deterred a good bit. Serving suggestion 😈

@nedhamson approx figures, slightly different years (2015/2016) rate per 100,000 corrects for population sizes.Saudi Arabia rate 9/100,000 UK rate 2283/100,000 UK rate almost 3 times global average.Saudi Arabia 254 times better at deterring crime than UK.Go on, make excuses for allowing crime when there is a solution. Bury your electoral credibility with the majority of honest citizens and crime victims. Fill your boots. Time to do what works. #SnapBack #politics

@Nokidding @nedhamson Imagine a world free of crime, walk in Las Ramblas without pickpockets, leave your car unlocked, women not getting raped. A modern technologically advanced rich society with free speech, good services and infrastructure. Singapore then. Harsh penalties including death, and great surveillance. 3rd safest place on Earth. Harsh works. Singapore has funky politics but happy prosperous people. Apples are not the only fruit 🤣

@ML2 @nedhamson @Nokidding yes I imagine life can be pretty good in Singapore. My mum was there for a couple of days’ stopover and loved it. I have a university of Singapore tie with a fish on it. Never studied there but it’s a cool tie 😎

@Nokidding @ML2 @nedhamson yeah well don’t drop cigarettes/gum don’t be drunken yob fighting vomiting or protest gluing to roads damaging art (stand with your placard not too noisy & it’s my choice whether to listen - do not try to force opinion on me, that is political assault, I have right not to attend to you). Clean well-ordered society without unpleasant jerks spoiling it. Learn, adapt, adopt. Lashes? No pain no gain they say 🙀

@nedhamson @Nokidding @ML2 so which social ills you want citizens to endure because (maybe you think) people should have “right“ to break laws? Pointless law seems crazy, & ineffective penalties waste tax. So would you be happy to abide by (not sample biased so not Mastodon) majority want? In the UK the majority of people want the death penalty but so far leaders have shied away. Crime harsh on victims so redirect harshness to crims?

@Nokidding @nedhamson @ML2 well, in USA it doesn’t work. Saudi, seemingly it works well. Saudi, many many less murders = many many less executions = many many less wrongful executions. So…

@nedhamson @Nokidding @ML2 agreed, but I wasn’t advocating that. I was observing that _exceptionally_ harsh punishment, empirically can be shown to deter crime so if people want less crime then maybe (as per capital punishment debate in UK) people do want that level of punishment. Maybe real democracy would be harsh, like some absolute monarchies. Why would one suppose it wouldn’t be? - Baseless assumption?

@nedhamson @Nokidding @ML2 I don’t mean years if appeals on death row commuting to life gaol or a humane death. I mean 15 minutes to appeal then the sword (and crucifix but you’re already dead). Not many murders _per head of population_ in Saudi. There’s capital punishment USA and there’s real harsh. Not same thing, not same effect. There is a crime solution, but it’s not nice. Depends how bad you want actual results.

@nedhamson @Nokidding @ML2 anyway, doesn’t matter what world we want, the boys in Davos ain’t going to give us it - I might not be a lefty but even some of us Tories get the picture on that 🤣

@nedhamson @Nokidding @ML2 I was observing that the death penalty depends on the government and you will get the government that the people at Davos let you have. So indirectly it very much is to do with that. Whether we live or die of starvation climate change and disease, let alone a few executions, is very much in their hands, not me, not you.
