I wonder how much longer it will take before Left-leaning voters start to realise that the Conservatives under Rishi Sunak and Jeremy Hunt were actually the centrists they really wanted? And that they have stupidly ousted them for something far, far worse?

Socialists love working class votes but not working class opinions.

“I’m doing it to save the children.” - Keir Starmer “The welfare of humanity is always the alibi of tyrants.” - Albert Camus

Whilst some of the arguments about protecting young people from the worst effects of social media are understandable, I just can’t separate my underlying belief that what this government really wants is control: They want to control the narrative, silence criticism, win every election, and govern forever - because they’re convinced that they alone know what’s best for us. And because they tell themselves they’re only doing all this because they care, they think they’re poles apart from dictators like Putin. But really, are they that different?

Just seen this: 'Adults can still access social media through age checks like facial recognition, digital IDs, passports and credit cards.' So it's not just a ban for kids, it's ID-gating half of the internet.

It's back. Incredible how giving the state powers to assist people to die, is a now considered a higher priority for some politicians than fixing an NHS that struggles to keep people alive. Grrr.

So we just let Internet curfews for 17-year-olds happen, like we're North Korea or China, and no one bats an eyelid because "social media bad"? This is sinister, controlling, dangerous stuff.

America- "We're building rockets that can take people to Mars". UK - "We're going to make people turn off their towel rails".

It's a comforting lie that they tell themselves. It's much easier to believe that the people are only following the boogeymen. The hard truth is that their policies and their ideology have brought us to this point and I'm not sure they'll ever come to terms with that fact.

If you are of the view that millions of your fellow Britons are angry only because they have been “whipped up” by a few right-wing bogeymen, you truly do not understand your own country.

Granting asylum to undocumented migrants is the very antithesis of "doing everything necessary to keep this country safe". UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is living in a self aggrandising fantasy world which is totally disconnected from reality.

Keir Starmer pompously claims he is ‘doing everything necessary to keep this country safe.’ Really?? Would that include prosecuting members of our armed forces, refusing to have a proper investigation into the Chinese Embassy, watering down sanctions on Russia, and paying more to Mauritius to lease back Diego Garcia than he can find for the entire defence budget? Not to mention his ‘negotiations’ with the EU. This Prime Minister might like to gaslight us, but only someone with the IQ of a banana will believe he is putting the interests of this country first.

Inevitably, the government is exploiting the horrific attack in Belfast to justify censorship. The previous government did the same after the murder of Sir David Amess. They never want to address the problem; they only want to prevent people from talking about the problem.

Here’s the problem. The liberal political class wants us to treat atrocities like Belfast as single, random, isolated incidents. “Yes, it’s horrific, but don’t overreact,” they say. “Let the police do their job. Justice will be delivered. Let’s remain united,” and so on. But the public can see that such incidents *aren’t* random or isolated. They are, in fact, all the consequence of massive state failure in the area of asylum and immigration. All roads lead back there. That’s why people are angry.. They are sick of the platitudes that get trotted out after each fresh incident. They don’t want to hear them anymore. They know that the decisions of establishment politicians have brought us to this current pass, and they don’t trust those same politicians to fix things, especially when some of them refuse to even recognise that the public’s anger is justified. There has been a huge vibe shift in recent years. Imagine - God forbid - there were another 7/7. Does anyone think the public response would be anything like as restrained as it was then? We are in really dangerous territory. The public don’t want flowers and candles and “Don’t let them divide us.” They want someone who says, “I recognise that the state has failed abjectly. We have allowed far too many people to settle in the country without knowing who they truly are. It has disrupted your communities. Your anger is justified. And I will do everything in my power to put things right.” Any politician unwilling to articulate that message, fully and sincerely, is effectively sanctioning more years of growing social disharmony and discord. Things cannot heal until those in power recognise the extent of the problem and what it will take to fix it. And, on both counts, most of them don’t. That’s why the next few years are going to be very, very turbulent.

(IMO) This 'Online Safety' stuff is being brought in now because they *know* where this country is headed in the next few years, so they're restricting our access to information and removing our right to anonymity in an attempt to mitigate the consequences of their actions.

When you have people fleeing a conflict zone, and you have no way of verifying anything about their identity or background, how can you even be sure about which side of the conflict they were on? We could literally be giving asylum to people who claim to be victims of atrocities *in which they were complicit*.

For 683 days the Government had a legal injunction banning the press, MPs and the public from knowing about the secret resettlement of tens of thousands of asylum seekers into Britain. They spent £7 billion of public money on the scheme. If the government has lost legitimacy over asylum, it is the predictable result of their own decision making

x.com/HeadWarriorTWM/status/… The UK leftist elites are sleepwalking towards their very own Marie Antoinette moment. While they lecture the public from their insulated positions, ordinary people face the consequences of open borders, eroded freedoms, ideological capture in institutions, and a justice system that often seems more concerned with managing public reaction than addressing root causes. The public deserves leaders who face reality, not lecture from afar. Do you think the elites and moral entrepreneurs are getting the message? Or are we really heading to the point where they will be lying inside madam guillotine, the messenger arrives and they say. "Just drop it in the basket, I'll read it later."

@BBCr4today Asylum caseworkers must automatically grant leave to remain to Sudanese applicants. Even if Sudanese man is on Sex Offenders Register. All they have to do is answer a few questions on Sudan. Answers available on Google. Very dangerous for British people.
