Out of the loop, why is this about the UK?
Possibly something about recognising or supporting Palestine?
There's been a change where they consider that terrorism or something - look it up and don't take my word for it though, I'm in the wrong hemisphere

As mentioned by another user it’s likely about the organization Palestine Action being designated a terrorist organization. This has caused about 700 arrests due to people protesting the designation of a group that never killed or hurt anyone as terrorists because they splashed some planes with red paint. Last time I heard an additional 60 protesters were arrested for supporting Palestine Action and officials said more arrests were likely coming.

Damn I'm jealous. To be so far away from most of the tension in the world. Not jealous of your internet speeds though, unless it's changed in the last decade or so?

America is better because we can complain and it won't be the reason we go to jail.
They'll come up with another reason.
Well the reason in the UK is "supporting terrorism", not protesting.
Everyone has the same tricks. -

Also for those who may have missed it: https://ukfactcheck.com/article/20/house-of-lord-member-lobbied-ministers-on-behalf-of-us-defence-firm-targeted-by-palestine-action
TL;DR: the US defence company Teledyne, whose factory was damaged by Palestine Action ("smashed windows, drilled roof panels, red paint, and smoke grenades"), paid off a corrupt member of the House of Lords to lobby the home secretary to proscribe them as terrorists, subjecting them to the same extreme anti-terror laws previously reserved for murderous groups such as Al Qaeda, Hezbollah, the IRA, etc.

Most of us have fibre optic broadband now, my connection is gigabit down, 400 up. I could have an 8 gigabit connection if I wanted. And I live rural.

Close to 90% of the population has it.
