Oh to live in a country bound by universally-recognised rules and social conventions. Imagine this happening in London!

🇯🇵 FUNNIEST THING: Japanese fans ran onto the famous Shibuya Crossing in Tokyo for 40 seconds to celebrate the 2:2 tie against the Netherlands.
They ran onto the crossing only for 40 seconds while it was green! The Japanese DID NOT BREAK TRAFFIC RULES!
After the light turned red, everyone went back and stopped the celebration.
They did not even break the traffic rules for this moment. lol

You need a total ban on smartphones and internet enabled devices for U16s. Nothing else will work...

We are banning social media access for under 16s.
These days kids must find their feet in a world where technology intrudes into every area of their life.
I just can’t let that go on anymore. So we’re giving children their childhoods back.
Community note
The UK Government's 'careful review' of the research found a small correlation between children's use of social media and wellbeing, but no evidence of a causal effect:

The problem for the politicians denying that Britain is a two-tier society is that nobody seems to have told the rest of the state, which continues to implement policies showing that it very much is:

Tate & Lyle has been listed in London since 1935.
This week, it agreed to be taken over by America’s Ingredion for about £2.7bn.
The famous sugar business had already gone to the Americans in 2010.
Another great British name, gradually detached from Britain.

Sweden solved its debt problem because Göran Persson had the right policy and they all shared the burden - something I explained at last years SDP conference in London ⬇️

Nothing but a thug

This is Samuel Corner, sledgehammer raised, ready to strike the police woman lying at his feet, arm held out in a vain plea for mercy. Samuel Corner is not a martyr nor a "young activist", he's just a common-or-garden thug.

It’s comforting that amid all the troubles in the world some Englishmen find solace and peace by sitting all day next to a static pump in a field in the North country.

The threat from radical Islam is not just terrorism.
Islamists seek to subvert our society and our democracy.
But what we have is worth defending.
We have to fight back.

Actress Juliet Stephenson is outside Woolwich court this morning sticking up for convicted criminals including a man who hit a female police officer with a sledgehammer. These are the ‘be kind’ people. What a nasty joke.

This image has come to symbolise the desperation felt in our country. The lies and gaslighting associated with its aftermath serve as a further illustration.
A 12-year-old girl — frightened and vulnerable — frantically tries to protect herself from harm.
And yet the police and authorities believed her abusers.
They always believe the abusers — if they aren’t British.

If energy prices had stayed at 2005 levels, the average worker would earn significantly more today.
Output per hour worked would be 39% higher. That is the pay rise that never came, that is the growth that never appeared.
Expensive energy doesn't just hit your bill, it kills investment, closes factories, and holds wages down. The cost of the energy crisis shows up in every part of your life.
