The entire UK is a country sized Potemkin Village set up by the United States to let the terf islanders live out their remaining days in peace while the rest of the world kindly plays along.

What are you trying to kill me? Mushy peas are much too spicy. Now if you dip some bread into the pea wet, then that’s a proper meal innit.

Where’s my peace motherfucker!?!

You’re right, but this applies to like 500 people who run Britain, 300 of which their families always have, and 200 of which pretend their families always did.

It’s less than ten years since the British goverment spent several years trying to ban encryption entirely until eventually enough poeple they trust told them they were fucking idiots and it would destroy the economy overnight.

It would be funny if British colleges complied and stopped teaching about encryption and all the fresh government hires have no idea what any of it means

I think this is also what the average new grad makes in London in the private sector…

Certainly half of what new grads are paid at the big players

That’s like $70k USD lmao, plus it’s in one of the most expensive cities on earth. I would assume that they’d be paying a junior cyber security analyst more than that.

You seem to be forgetting how low stress being the head of cyber security for the department that controls all of the money must be
