21·2 years agoSo MI5 can get parties to drop candidates just by saying they “could” be a spy, without proof, or conviction?
Literally anyone “could” be a spy.
Doesn’t that mean the spooks can basically veto any candidate they don’t like?

Beehaw is looking to shut down and or completely defederate.
They already de-federated 447 instances, I doubt that will make much difference.
As someone who mostly likes those things, that does seem to be a big problem here.
