a retrospective look at cyber-bullying

Cyber-bullying is no longer a problem thanks to the sterling work done by, among others, the NOTW back in 2009. Things might have been very different today if the campaign they championed hadn't led to legislation binding the government to reduce bullying to pre-1984 levels. Most modern scholars tend to skim over the groundwork laid down by the NOTW purely because of its disgusting right-wing bias but our new studies have shown that this alignment played a crucial role in the dissolution of the short lived Cameron 'Do Nothing' government.

While Saviour Brown was busy signing multiple lending agreements with foreign nations the action of the NOTW provided a useful distraction that allowed him to slip a few extra clauses into the contracts that caused the loans to become payable immediately if anyone other than him was in charge. This only became apparent after the result of the 2010 election when the Chinese government appeared with bailiffs while Cameron was moving in to 10 Downing Street. With Britain facing certain immediate bankruptcy Cameron had no option but to stand down in favour of Saviour Brown.

Within a few weeks of returning to his rightful place as the most equal citizen Saviour Brown introduced the hugely important Internet Anonymity Bill (2010) which has been central to clamping down on cyber-bullying. Without this landmark piece of legislation cowards using pseudonyms would have been able to continue their evil ways. The visionary the DNA Broadband Access Amendment (2011) which came into force soon after was the final piece of benevolent safety legislation. Linking broadband access to the mandatory ID card database was the penultimate stage in the clampdown on cyber-bullies and the introduction of a monitored central webcam facility finally rid the internet of this crime.

No more would parents have to worry that our children could be subjected to anonymous abuse from strangers. No longer could 237 remote, faceless, anonymous users be enlisted by nefarious bullies to join in their mockery on unregulated internet sites such as Bookface or Twatter thanks to the visionary leadership of Saviour Brown.

Praise be to Gordon.
