I’m not that interesting, middle aged, SNP voter since I turned 18 regardless of leader or dislike of some of their policies but draw the line at bigots

Enkele maanden geleden wilde Starmer een verplichte Digitale ID invoeren. De Britten kwamen massaal in opstand en het plan verdween in de koelkast. Nu komt diezelfde Starmer met verplichte leeftijdsverificatie. En kijk: minder protest, maar het eindstation blijft hetzelfde… Want om iemands leeftijd te verifiëren, moet uiteindelijk iemands identiteit worden geverifieerd. De verpakking is veranderd maar het doel is hetzelfde gebleven. Eens die digitale ID er is, is het totalitaire hek van de dam.

We are not 'parked on benefits', we are sick and disabled. This is a disgraceful way to talk about people who have (like myself) become in need of state support due to illness and disability. Park your ridiculous report.
Almost 1,000 people a day are joining health and disability benefits. A system that leaves people parked on benefits is failing them. We need an emergency handbrake on welfare spending - reform that reduces the bill, supports people into work, and frees up resources for the state. Read more: institute.global/insights/pu…

"Backed by 9 in 10 parents who responded to the survey". THE SURVEY DIDN'T HAVE "NO" AS AN OPTION.
Labour is listening to parents 🌹 Today’s announcement is backed by 9 in 10 parents among those who responded to the government’s survey. As a dad of two young girls, I’m proud of this government for taking action against big tech and protecting their childhoods.

I know it’s only the price of one missile but why was the MoD paying for a royal refurb - albeit indirectly with the rest from the Crown Estate, owned by the Treasury ie you and me! bit.ly/4g8u5LJ 50 rooms and 21 hectares is quite a home even for a Duke.

Douglas Lumsden cost the taxpayer around £185,000 with 1339 AI-generated questions about salt sachets and flagpoles But at wasteful Westminster, it's estimated it costs £237 to answer a question. So Douglas's AI-antics would have cost the taxpayer £326,349 if he'd been an MP

Within the past 24 hours we’ve had a staged video from the Royal Marines boarding a Russian tanker, the BBC claiming Russians are behind the arson attacks on Keir Starmer and setting up “far right” and Islamist groups in the UK, and a Russian warship firing at a civilian yacht. This whole thing stinks of a psyop to me.

🚨 For anyone tracking the under-16 social media bans in Canada and the UK, you might have noticed the government suddenly walking back some specific wording. They backed off forcing you to upload credit cards or facial scans because of the public backlash, and now they’re pushing a "backend token system". It sounds less intrusive on the surface, but here is the truth about what that actually means, because most people are being completely misled by that marketing: A cryptographic token isn't a magic, anonymous poker chip. To work, a token has to be anchored to something verified. That means your physical device, your phone carrier contract, or your real identity is permanently tethered to that token. Every single time your phone throws that token to let you log into an app, it logs exactly who you are, where you are, and what you're doing. It isn't a privacy shield to protect kids. It's a digital passport that tracks an adult's every move across the internet.

We aren't changing our national anthem to please a load of unionist numpties in wasteminster just because it hurts their feelings.
People say we must change our national anthem - it's a dirge, negative or anti-english. Be suspicious of them. It's one of the great national anthems. They hate it because it is common - a 60s folk song, of the people, about our people, for our people. It is ours. It is us. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💙

This is an outright lie. Labour voted against an inquiry into ALL party's finances, along with the other unionist parties. Why was that, I wonder? What do they have to hide?
If John Swinney and the SNP have nothing to hide, they should have nothing to fear from a Parliamentary inquiry – but last week they voted to block one and stop Scots getting the answers they deserve. dailyrecord.co.uk/news/polit…

"I haven't done anything." "Yeah you have! Comin' here INSULTIN' JEWS!" "I haven't done anything, I'm just getting the banner." "COMIN'HEREINSULTIN'JEWS!!" 🥴
A masked man was telling the Met police what to do outside Edgware United Synagogue yesterday. No badge. No ID. Screaming at a British protester on the ground. Since when does the Met answer to an anonymous civilian?

So Russian warship story turns out to be…yacht came way too close to another boat, which repeatedly warned them they were going to collide, finally firing warning shot when ignored. But let’s have some convenient hysteria to boost defence spending calls.

And here it is. This has nothing to do with safeguarding children. This is extraordinarily dangerous and will make SM more risky for all of us. We must push back on this hard.

As I understand it, if the ban is imposed at device level then the VPN is irrelevant. Your app, in your phone, with the data in your phone, will be tied to your ID.
Maybe I am naive, but is Starmer going to ban VPNs too?

Look closely at what the government is promising you here (published 15th June). They claim that if your account is over 16 years old, you are safe from the dragnet. But then comes the casual, insidious trap: if you do have to prove your age, they say it will be 'as simple as a facial recognition check.' Do not let that soft language fool you. 'As simple as a face scan' means surrendering the unchangeable, mathematical architecture of your human identity. Here is the brutal reality: this is a biometric harvesting operation masquerading as child safety. Your biometrics - your face, your irises, your unique biological signature - are the most sensitive pieces of data you possess. If a password leaks, you reset it. If your biometric blueprint is hacked, leaked, or scraped into a government database, your identity is compromised for life. They are normalising the idea that you must scan your body just to access the public square. It is the ultimate blueprint for a permanent digital cage. Once your biological data is stored in their centralised databases (which it will be) your privacy is dead forever. You aren't just logging into an app - you are voluntarily handing over the keys to a corporate and state surveillance engine. An app-level 'under 16s ban' is universally recognised by security experts as unpoliciable and structurally broken. Following the mass backlash from tech companies, the UK government reconsidered its stance... But this is what they're not telling you - something we have warned you about for years. The UK Gov already appointed an expert panel to 'fast-track' a national, official Digital ID scheme earlier this year, that will (despite their current lies) eventually serve as the master credential to 'solve the problem' with an unenforceable 'under 16s social media ban.' It has NEVER been about Children's safety. Ever. So, to coerce compliance of all UK adults, we will soon see the beginning of another textbook manufactured crisis. Do not be fooled by the ongoing political theatre. The predictable failure of this ban is completely by design. As the system intentionally glitches, the media will flood the headlines with weaponised fear - amplifying stories of online horror and grooming to rile up panicked parents. Once again, they are engineering a crisis of fear so severe that the public will ultimately beg for the exact Digital ID grid they would have otherwise rejected. Cast your mind back to September 2025: 'mass illegal migration' didn't work as an excuse for Digital ID, did it? So the Epstein Class now use Children's safety as the excuse. By wrapping the digital credential inside the emotionally charged issue of child safety, dissent is effectively silenced. Anyone arguing against the tracking framework is politically painted as being against child protection. gov.uk/government/publicatio…

I’ve had an @Apple account for over 20 years here in the UK why or how do I need to prove that I’m over 18 years of age ie not a child? Surely having the account for this length of time is proof enough? I will shit down my @facebook account & I will close My Apple account
