Earlier quoted context omitted.

Yes, it's an amended version of form 27B/6.

Can I get that one in the Post Office?

No, but you can get the form to request the form. Then it must be stamped by an official in the [strikethrough]Ministry of Information[/strikethrough] Ofcom. Please allow 4-5 months for processing thanks to our partners delivering efficient intersection of Government and Industry, Capita.

How's that lawsuit with 4Chan going ofcom? Last checking, just now the site is still online. Time to move my colocated servers out of the UK.

If they're really keen, they could just ask the hacker known as Soyjak.party to knock it offline again.

I can imagine in the app/phone settings "allow nudes only from contacts" or a whitelist something? I get on Tumblr all the time unsolicited shit, not necessarily bad looking but no thanks I can take care of myself.

Nothing any government in my lifetime has done has arrested this feeling of decay, decline and desperation. It's like the occupational political class has a miserable vendetta and must afflict it upon the population. But I'm not actually miserable like you, I don't want to feel like you, we invented liberty in this country, now fuck off the lot of you thank you.
