What's very curious is how many MPs etc. have been openly hating on Elon Musk because he's got the ultimate fuck you position of being a billionaire and owning Twitter. They know all the normies will be getting their information from twitter in a lot of cases despite how much they've been spamming news articles which have lulled for the moment.
Predictably, on the ground they've got Stand Up To Racism who are actual communists and professional activists so you'll be seeing a lot of these cretins about this weekend screaming about Tommy Robinson and Nigel Farage. My money though is on them pulling something potentially quite desperate, they could end up pissing away a government contract on creating some kind of twitter alternative just to spite Elon Musk and block twitter.
It's a completely retarded idea, but something they are more than capable of now I know just how retarded they are. What I think they might do is create a twitter clone and then have the ISPs all redirect any twitter links to the twitter clone in an effort to get normies to use that instead.
I personally think you are right and they will attempt to create a new state approved X clone in the short term. Which is probably why they are bringing forward the request to enforce the next stage of the Online Safety Act which allows for fines, shut downs and blocking. In the long term they will probably transition residential Internet users to a national Intranet where everything will be curated, licensed and controlled by the state "for your safety". As far as the Government is concerned, user generated content was a mistake that should never have happened.
It's likely Labour will also ban VPN's. They tried to bring in an amendment to the Online Safety Bill but failed. Now they have the numbers to succeed.
It looks like their next tactic is to arrest people based on "inaccurate information" as per the new Online Safety Act 2023. And further to the post I made on the same subject, we know that the person arrested is a prominent critic of the Government, in particular when it came to lockdown, vaccine and mask mandates - Bernie Spofforth, who has appeared on GB News and Talk.

Katie Hopkins, another prolific critic of the Government has been reported to the police under the same law.
