Nadine Dorries has recorded a rap about online safety – THIS IS NOT A DRILL

Oonagh Keating. Updated May 27th, 2022

TikTok is well known for its dance trends, sea shanties and lip-synchs, but it’s just unleashed a brand new horror – rapping politicians. To be more specific, rapping Nadine Dorries.

The Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport took to the social media site to push the controversial Online Safety Bill.

If you have any anti-cringe technology, turn it on now.

Possibly the most cringeworthy thing to come out of DCMS since Hancock’s ‘Matt App’ tried to harvest the data of its unsuspecting users. Both of them.

These are just a few comments from TikTok users.

Oh great. Some more laws without resources to properly enforce them.

This bill is designed to stop encryption which the is the main way we get privacy in the internet. Even China doesn’t attack End-to-End encryption 😳

How are the vibes so bad???

Naturally, it wound up on Twitter.

“Siri, please show me a country being totally infantilised by its own ruling class.”

(Don’t miss the mic drop at the end, if you can bear it for that long).

Here’s what tweeters thought.

Can someone rewrite the Meatloaf song and make it – ‘I will do anything to distract from Sue Gray, including rap?’. https://t.co/m67jybaqJR

Can't believe there's someone whose job is to write rap lyrics for Nadine Dorries pic.twitter.com/dpHmMNfP5h

Just watched Nadine Dorries's 'rap video' and adding 'rap' to the long list of cultural areas that neither she nor the Conservatives' PR team understand. Sounds like someone's played them a Streets album through a wasp's walkman.

The Nadine Dorries ‘rap’ uses some stale memes and internet tropes from about seven years ago, so should do well on Twitter at least pic.twitter.com/oeu9y4o15X

The brilliant Sooz Kempner, whose Nadine Dorries parody sketches are a must-see experience, had this reaction.

I ain't touching this. No way. https://t.co/uXlM29O6zw

We don’t blame her. Satire is dead.
