    The internet still has some US like freedom of speech and freedom after speech.
    When the UK is ready, the internet will be under full gov control.

    Mention illegal immigration? Thats a cyber investigation with interviews.
    The cost of rent, housing in the UK? Thats an investigation.
    Utility bill in winter and the cost of energy in the UK? Thats a political investigation for hinting at the lower cost of Russian gas exports.

    How to ensure every internet user in the UK has an IP connected to one ISP?
    To return to a phone network all over the UK with all UK social media use returning to an approved ip range and a dwelling.

    Let the great network begin. Nation building. To place a network from a government network exchange to each dwelling.
    The government will build racks what will hold network cards in a secure local location. Every home shall have one network card back at the government network rack.
    The government network cards will be able to provide voice and network services in a asymmetric or symmetric way to the dwelling depending on the ISP option selected.
    One network card, one network connection, one registered account in a dwelling.
    The security services can then get a direct connection into any connected computer at the end of this one connection.
    All other networks will not be approved.
    Any people using the internet to make political comments about government policy can be quickly found.

    The NRO and NSA don't run human spies. For the NSA and NRO to get the budget growth they crave and are now expect they have to show results. Thats why news like this makes it to the worlds media.

    In the USA the more media attention a part of the gov/mil gets the more political leaders will feel like granting more budget.
