Less serious posts should go in [email protected] or [email protected]

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

To be fair that's exactly what everyone should say when someone asks to look at your personal info!

The thing is if it were you or I being investigated, we'd have the RIP Act thrown at us with the threat of a custodial sentence, no doubt, for not revealing the password.

Not that I agree with this law, but it should be applied to our ex PM who brought in similar laws

What a twat. So what are the bets on how long it will be until they get proof that he has logged into his phone and this is all bollocks?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

12 hours, 24 hours something like that?

Then he'll say in public something like 'this is utter and absolute poppy piffle' and in private he'll say sorry and think up what his next line of sorry not sorry bs is going to be. It's what he's always done.

It is being held at a solicitors. He does not have access to it without. If he requests access, then it will be recorded.

It's definitely 00769.

I imagine "sorry I forgot my password" comes up a lot in police investigations, I imagine it wouldn't slow down the computer forensics team much.

Forget the forensics guys, if he keeps this up they'll be prepping the rubber hose and dentistry tools guys.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Perhaps we could skip the forensics?

Phones are well encrypted, they need the password

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No, you can crack them with the right forensic tools, it just costs. I imagine of they tell BoJo they can unlock his phone but they'll charge him £50k to do it, he'll "find" his password tucked down the side of a mistress.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Only if the phone hasn't been powered off or "locked-down"

That photo of Boris is great. No really a ladies' man... more like my Nan.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

isn't that a bit mean on your nan?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

His nan is Margaret Thatcher.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Blimey! I hope not. :)

And as we all know, we can trust what he says

[–] Bananakabooom 5 points 1 year ago

He's such a slippery, floppy haired git. The pins probably his mistress of the times measurements

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I will save everyone a lot of time, it's 69420

The phone can be imaged then brute-forced, I imagine that this is more distraction. I'm not sure how but then I didn't really understand the whole cardboard bus thing.
