That's about par for the course.

So far, the current UK government seems to realise they've lost their voters; thus they're trying to appeal to the opposition's voters.

The trouble is, no-one really wants censorship laws save for small (but vocal) pockets religious nuts masquerading as feminists.

We've normalised "if you are against x, you are a vile monster" kind of thinking; and thus we are now facing sweeping censorship.

Classic double-down strategy. Can't wait to see how it works out for them.

They split into two disctinct groups: authoritarian feminists, and religious nuts, some of whom pretend they care about women, while at the same time campaigning to deny them their rights.
