it's ridiculously easy to bypass. I don't know what they were hoping to achieve with this implementation. it's not like they couldn't have done it so that you'd actually need ID rather than just a photo of someone who the computer thinks looks old enough. then again, this is the government that wanted to "ban encryption" a few years ago so I'm not surprised they're this incompetent.
I can’t remember when that was, but if it was a few years ago that was a different government. Keir Starmers Labour have only been in power 12 month.
Pretty sure Starmer must have beaten a record for amount of unpopularity in shortest amount of time for a PM
Even considering Liz Truss?
If you rank by drop in expectations Starmer blows Truss out of the water, but admittedly it's hard to call who has the lowest raw trust.
I legit forgot she was a thing lmao. Don't think many people had much faith in her to begin with to be honest, she was essentially forced on everyone by the Tory party to clear the way for Sunak
