Re: understand the necessary hashtags to stop this stuff

"The best people who understand the necessary hashtags to stop this stuff even being put up" is quite impressive, even for a Tory minister.

I assume this was "file hashes" starting in Cheltenham and going through too many civil servants before getting to Amber Rudd.

Perhaps the Internet being something to do with "hashtags" is a simplification for those who cannot grasp the complex technical intricacy of "a series of tubes". After all, Twitter wouldn't work properly without them, so they must be pretty damned critical to the operation of the Internet.
