You get asked to collect wool off barbed wire from fields on a farm, wire fence with the top line being barbed wire, next to hedges and banks. Some of the wool is not snagged on the barbs like fluffy tufts of wool but is wrapped around and along the barbed wire, so you have to untwist it. A day or two later you start getting rashes where our hands had touched our arms, like top of arms near the elbow and sides of the calf muscle, yet no plant had been in contact with these areas. It starts eating your flesh away with black scabs, very black scabs, not like a cut or graze. GP prescribes some antibiotics and eventually the black scabs heal up, but the NHS never do bacterial swab tests, leaving that doubt it could have been an allergic reaction to some plant in the hedgerows if those parts of the body had been in contact with a plant, which is fair enough, but the wool was wrapped around and along stretchs of the barbed wire, not the cleanest wool either some of it with sheep muck on, so it was weight enough to not able to twist itself around the barbed wire in the wind either. 50p I got for several plastic bags full of crappy wool when that was taken to market!

Other examples include the infected blood scandal, where the UK govt delayed an enquiry allowing key decision makers to retire and die off.

Only one person is left alive who stated the govt decided to not buy the US tests, but rather wait for a British company to develop their own which took months.

The British Govt could have bought in the US developed tests to check blood supplies and ran with that until a British equivalent was developed.

It would not have delayed the scientific discovery, helping to save many lives, and the psychological effects that being done over by the "incompetence" of the state created for some people.

I even reported this to the Met Police and have heard nothing from them!

What also stinks, is the NHS had a practice of cutting out tonsils in the 80's and some surgeons were negligent at best, malicious at worse, which resulted in blood transfusions having to be given to kids, hence me mentioning the infected blood scandal and I know now, their vitamin K and thus blood clotting and anti-clotting proteins would have been sufficient to have clotted the tonsils.

Its just Nazi experimentation on kids.

The metal contraption with a metal loop that ensnared and cut the tonsil off was even shown on ITV's Wide A Wake Club one Saturday morning! That should have come with a warning, but its the states way of normalising surgical procedures, where healthier dietary methods existed.

Manganese chloride will give you a scab like deep red superglue, and that scab is resistant to water, so it would not come away in a bath, shower or swimming pool. It literally is a good as using the surfers trick of using superglue to stick a cut back together again in order to carry on surfing. Manganese also has vit K like activity in the body as well.

Other examples, artificial joints, dietary solutions exist but they dont generate as much GDP unlike the hyper expensive titanium joints and all that that entails. Bariatric surgery's, again dietary solutions exist, but they dont make as much money.

> Even with attestation you could just daisy chain and use the attesting device as a proxy.

But you'd need the attested device to run the proxy server software, which would obviously not be allowed in the app store, and would be blocked by the gatekeeper daemon or the OS-level firewall. Well, proxy software would be allowed, but it would have to perform its own attestation checks on the devices it proxies for.

> Not to mentioned the billion of internet enabled devices that would never support it

The billion internet enabled devices would be allowed onto a special "safe" segment of the internet, which companies could apply to add their static IPs to. So your internet connected fridge could still phone home, but the manufacturer would take liability for any data that a rooted fridge managed to send out to the internet.

There might still be millions of old devices that don't support TPMs and don't have manufacturers willing to apply to have their IPs whitelisted, but the government will say that kicking these insecure unpatched devices off their internet would be a huge win for cybersecurity. Making people buy a whole load of new devices would probably also give a temporary boost to the economy too.

What happens when you get stopped and searched in the UK (probable cause isn't a factor here) and they find a "special encryption" phone?

>Any laws the UK passes have to account for the geographical realities of its location.

The sun never sets.....

The famous phrase was as much about the relative geo-political strength of the empire in the 18th and 19th centuries as much as it has to do with actually being able to see a sunset... but feel free to take it literally if you like.
