> So, who wants to put something like this in production?

I don't think anyone suggested deploying this to production - the author is quite explicit that it's an experiment.

So many of the outrageous things the UK government is doing, which seem most inexplicable, can be explained by one simple principle - successive governments over the last 30 years have turned this nation into a tinderbox, the purpose of the state and the judiciary in particular has become singular in its effort to prevent a spark from igniting the whole thing. Though they will become ever more authoritarian and tyrannical in their efforts, defenders dilemma applies - eventually, inevitably, they will fail and all hell will break loose. Plan accordingly.

I expect there are many people who agree with this sentiment, unfortunately they might not agree on precisely which areas ought to be quarantined. And those who happen to live in the areas you want to quarantine might disagree most vigorously.

Resenting the real world because it doesn't live up to your make-believe fantasy world is pathological. I too can imagine perfect utopian worlds where everybody lives in peace and harmony, but they're just fantasies. Eventually you have to come back to the real world and learn to accept the harsh truths of the reality you find yourself inhabiting.

No it reflects the reality that requirements and applications evolve over time. You sound like someone who's never supported an application for more than 5 minutes.

> The UK does have a few right wing pro Russia people

"Right wing" people like George Galloway? Put your obvious bias aside for a moment and just say "a few pro Russia people".

At first I thought this sounded implausible, but then I remembered we already have a second internet, largely isolated from the main internet - the darkweb.

Individuals making choices.

Seconday question, for how long do you think you would be happy with that arrangement?

This could equally illustrate the difference between long established multi national companies with an overbearing corporate culture vs young upstart companies with a dynamic startup culture.
