Perhaps, in actual fact, posturing on end-to-end encryption is the fig leaf for a lack of investment in education, policing and social care. After all, talk is cheap.

It’s a sad fact but the vast majority of my fellow country people are bloody idiots and as long as there’s something good on the gogglebox or the local Wetherspoons is still open then there’s bugger all to complain about.l and they will tow the line.

Brexit / tories / civil liberties eroded such as the right to protest all went ahead without a hint of rebellion. Now it’s their privacy and more civil liberties that are being taken and hardly anyone is taking any notice. It really is a sad state of affairs.

But the polling cited in the post shows that the vast majority of people in UK support secure communication!
