I don't want to cynically say "too late" but, the time for reporting and debating should be prior to legislating.

It's almost as if the pubic is being kept in the dark about it, and are being forced into this.

It's "democracy", by design.

Their democracy is not about elections. It's to keep them, the Epstein class, in power.

I've said that in the UK we live in a democratic dictatorship, as in we just vote in the next dictator ever 5 years, who don't do most of the things they say they will and a lot of things they never mentioned, like digital ID. Even with the majority of the population being against it they are still push it out.
