      “UK developing new hybrid non lethal/lethal weapon that will use murder risk prediction score to select operating mode. This amazing invention will cut down on police related deaths, learn more tonight on BBC.”

      I swear the UK is as dystopian as the US and even worse in a lot of ways.

        It literally always has been and that fact is why the US even exists.

        Why do you think they wanted Brexit? Now they can apply all their demented ideas to their country freely.

        I, for one, haven’t set foot there since Brexit officially concluded. Shame that I have friends there but, I hear it’s becoming worse by the day anyways.

    Will this drive the first wrongfully accused person to suicide or will it just somehow, magically, target all brown and black people? Stay tuned to see how much taxpayer money gets sunk into this tool.

        The precogs were FMM. They were named after famous crime fiction authors, Agatha (Christie), Dash (Dashiell Hammett), and Arthur (Conan Doyle).

    apparently Uk govt has never played watch dogs legion, nor seen Equilibrium (C Bale movie), nor Minority Report, nor Richard III, nor read Brave New World, nor the billion other movies, novels, games, poems, songs, Banksy art, social videos, cave paintings, etc that specifically warned UK not to (re)become the villain (over and over again)

    it’s like the 2nd most popular culture topic… after “love” or something

    but noooo, just had to be edgelordsandladies.gov.uk

      Psycho Pass.

      Another one to the list. Great anime. It’s like if Blade Runner and Minority Report had a loving relationship and a beautiful child was the byproduct of this union.
