@revk @annehargreaves well I'm sure we can compromise somewhere between posting their face on social media and jail for 1000 years :)
@revk @annehargreaves ah yes, as well all know, logistics systems are perfect and never fail! He should go straight to jail for 1000 years!
@srbaker @semanticist I'm too sad about actual real cases of violence against LGBTQ folk to worry much about hypotheticals but I still agree with you about the dangers of violent rhetoric.
@srbaker @semanticist seems weird to be so worried about something you know so little about so far away, but I get your concerns about violent rhetoric.
@srbaker @semanticist "Best of luck not getting your ass kicked I guess?" is not "Suggesting someone gets their ass kicked".

daniel berntsson, one of mullvad's two founders and owners, has donated millions to a local fascist/populist party. (swedish link to flamman, a socialist news site)

the örebro party are mainly known for using unusually aggressive rhetorics and racism.

in the article, berntsson specifically mentions supporting the örebro party's politics of forced repatriation of swedish citizens born abroad.

EDIT: …and should you decide that you're not renewing your subscription, then may i suggest telling them about it? i mean it's arguably a good thing if they're made aware that they're losing customers because of the owners financing this crap. and they can't get away with it since anonymous donations to political parties are prohibited in sweden.

you could even tell them here on fedi. it's mullvadnet(at)mastodon.online

Techprofil ger miljoner till Örebropartiet

It-bolaget Mullvads grundare donerade fem miljoner – till parti som vill se ”storskalig återvandring”

Anyway, here's an Early Day Motion that you can ask your MP to sign. It would stop the implementation of the code of practise that bans trans people in "single sex spaces".

Come on, I've seen you all mouth off about other things. Time to do something useful.

Draft Code of Practice on Services, public functions and associations - Early Day Motions - UK Parliament

That the draft Code of Practice for Services, public functions and associations, a copy of which was laid before this House on 21 May, be disapproved.

@bloor the guy has had a long political career that predates being prime minister so there is already plenty of history, and it is quite bad.
@diffrentcolours @monkeyninja if only! they could call it "tape for ducts". Or perhaps simply: rig tape!
@monkeyninja ta, good to know but it doesn't have any kind of duct attachment so I'd be rigging up something pretty scrappy if I tried.
