I oppose any government ban on social media for under-16s. Adults and families should decide what's right for their children, not politicians enforcing it via age verification and fines. But FACTS matter. Those of us who actually took the time to complete the full consultation KNOW the survey wasn't as one-sided as some claim. Official consultation document shows: Initial Question 4: "Would you support a legal requirement for social media services to have a minimum age of access?" Options: Yes No Don’t know Prefer not to answer. The screenshot circulating (ages below 16 or "don't know") was a follow-up (Question 6), asked only of those who selected Yes to any minimum age.

UNDERSTANDING DISABILITY: Week 7 of our Aditus Potens AF™ Series is on Thursday 18th June 7–9pm Last week we looked at the gaps between NHS and social care; and where people fall through the cracks. Thank you to everyone who joined and shared such thoughtful contributions. This week we’re focusing on: Diagnosis delays and access to treatment → Q: How long is too long to wait? We’ll clearly break down: • How waiting times for diagnosis and treatment have changed since the NHS began in 1948 to now • Current waits for diagnosis (cancer, mental health, scans/tests) and then treatment/surgery across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland • How technology is playing a part, including the new A&E iPad self-check-in and triage systems being rolled out • The role of government funding and its impact • The real harm caused by long waits; health deterioration, extra costs to the system and welfare, and the human cost to disabled people and families • How delays in social care compound the problems • What could realistically be done to improve things We’ll also touch on the Assisted Dying Bill if people want to discuss it, but the main focus will remain on diagnosis and treatment waits (we’ll go deeper into funding pressures and rationing next week and maybe cover more of the bill then too). Expect Evidence-based, Data-driven; Clarity Not Conspiracy. Format: Online X Space (link will be set up on Thursday so it can be recorded with comments enabled) Drop a comment below if you have any specific questions or areas you’d like covered (including A&E iPads or the Assisted Dying Bill). Looking forward to another strong and useful conversation. #UnderstandingDisability #AditusPotensAF™

I banned my own children. They have access to YouTube on the lounge TV, which I can monitor. Those of you advocating for this ban fail to realise how intrusive the government are preparing to be. They know the ban has failed in Australia because the checks can be bypassed. To get around that, this government want to add surveillance tech to the very hardware we use. They want to add biometric & behavioural profiling. How a device is used, typing speed, finger size, and touch pressure are all logged. Then there's biometric login every time you want to go online. Now your every online move is recorded and profiled by the government. This will force kids underground. All of those checks and balances we currently have through parental controls will be stripped away as children start using unregulated platforms. Who else do you think will migrate to those unregulated platforms? This is not about protecting children. If they wanted to do that, they'd be rigorously working to end knife crime. They wouldn't have voted against a national rape gang inquiry. They would be tougher on offences against children, e.g., not letting paedophiles walk the streets. More funding would go into the community activities for children. A ban is sticking a plaster on the problem, not actually tackling the root causes. This is Digital ID and state surveillance & control, packaged up under the guise of child safety. "Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies." (C.S. Lewis).

These videos of @RestoreBritain canvassers in Makerfield are get worse. This group led by their Cheshire regional co-ordinator Cal are now going around harassing and insulting the towns workers with homophobic slurs.

🚨🚨 I am hearing a 17 year old girl in Arbroath has been raped by gang of illegals… can anyone confirm if true?

🚨Breaking: 17 year old gang raped by between 4 or 5 illegal migrants in Arbroath Police have asked NOT to share this information. Please share far and wide! @KevinTheRanter

Ahh, Alistair "just grab a phone and film them" Harrison (said in reference to grooming gang survivors). One woman who engaged with the rape gang inquiry later attempted suicide. He didn't care. What a treat that man is.
