Sometimes no extra narrative is needed. But this is why we need to keep spreading the message and fighting for our kids.
This is Sir Oliver Letwin – a former Conservative Minister. A former member of the Government. This is what this bigoted prat had to say on BBC radio today.
“There are so many different ways that these networks could be attacked, either by nature or a terrorist attack, or another country attacking us. Or in fact, just some autistic person or some strange youth sitting in some place in the world who’s connected to our network by the Internet and gets in and does something”
WTF! 🤬
