I hope they don’t just roll over like they have in the US.
If the other parties and activists don’t capitalise on this with “Big Brother is watching you” type stuff about Farage and Reform then this country is fucked.
It needs pro-Palestine movement levels of effort.
Trouble is the left will expend its effort on what is happening in other countries and fighting itself instead of the real enemy, and the Tories will just try and out-Farage Farage.
The guy who was running the ‘team’ ran a data-mining company according to he profile on linked-in. I looked him up. He resigned when Zia Yusef resigned as chairman because it was Yusef that hired him. I don’t know if he came back when Yusef did or who is actually directing this so called ‘Doge’ team now.
I suspect that data mining is what this bullshit is all about. I also wonder who is paying for it ? Are our council taxes paying for this nonsense ?
> The team is run by 12 volunteers, including software engineers and artificial intelligence specialists, according to Reform’s Doge chief Zia Yusuf.
I can only imagine the calibre of ‘software engineer’ that would happily work for free.
Recent incidents have shown those in local councils can not be trusted. We need a full audit.
It’s a good thing that our judges are not politically skewed and the government isn’t Reform’s if it comes to that.
Why did they think that US style crap would work here? Am glad they’ve been told to fuck off. Bunch of absolute grifting ghouls.
Thankfully we have far stricter data access laws than the Americans. “Because I want my mates to look at it for reasons” isn’t a good enough reason to disclose personally identifiable data to a third party. I’d be interested in hearing what the justification they’re trying to use to facilitate the transfer of sensitive data outside of the council’s control.
This is the very essence of what Brexit was about.
Break from European human rights and workers protection rule and turn us all into corporate slaves like the US.
Remember every workers rights has been fought for and not given away.
Somehow Farage has convinced enough people he is doing this for Thier own good.
This Doge concept is only really executable if you have access to lawmakers, so it would only really work for Reform if they somehow got the national government. Right now, there are a plethora of decent laws (privacy and GDPR being two) that can stop them doing too much damage.
Why do we keep trying to copy every little Americanism, no matter how fucking stupid and embarrassing it is?
Transparency is the only way. If a council refuses you know they are up to no good.
It is worth knowing that many private companies run by unelected individuals have access to private data held by the public sector, many of these companies actually hold the data on behalf of the councils. Prevention of this data sharing is just using GDPR for political reasons because it is the civil servants that will look bad if waste and/or fraud is uncovered.
Unelected, unaccountable mates of Farage being given complete access to councils’ and therefore council taxpayers’ sensitive and personal data?
What could possibly go wrong?
Is already tearing itself apart! Imagine them in government😂
Populist grifters. Are they going to shove a load of 18-year old Andrew Tate fans into their little DOGE cosplay who have no idea what they are looking for?! This will certainly end well.
DOGE was a complete and utter failure in the USA. Even Trump all but admits it.
The idea that they’re still trying to make ‘Doge’ happen even after it was a complete failure (even by its own insane standards) in the US is a good measure of how completely unserious Reform actually are.
