Good grief. There are a lot on here who support the SM ban for under 16s. Parents…this was your job. And remains so. Oh and for those at the back, it’s not about their safety. It’s about control… digital ID for the masses.

How much time did Starmer's generation spend watching TV and listening to music over a full weekend? Easily 9 hours. It is much of the same thing: We listen to music on youtube and watch tv programmes on youtube AND do our revision study there.

Disappointing from Kemi Badenoch. Arguing "we came up with this first" on illiberal social media bans that will impact everyone is really not the gotcha Conservatives think it is. Argue for parents' rights, argue against censorship, argue against infantilising 17- year-olds. Challenge the panic and hysteria. Don't back up Starmer’s authoritarianism.

No kid is going to like this. These poor buggers grew up on social media built friendships and followings and groups this way. They learn this way and were forced to during Covid. The government have made our streets unsafe so most parents don’t let their kids out. What’s the plan for the mental health crisis that’s incoming from a generation of kids being punished for adults awful choices

📛THE MIDNIGHT PANOPTICON: Starmer to announce tomorrow total social media ban for under 16s, AI bans for under 18s as he also unveils mandatory nightly digital curfews for teens 17 and under📛 We have weeks - mere months - to smash this digital iron curtain! The entire nation is being dragged into a state run panopticon because 30-odd thousand moronic, lazy, and pathetic parents refused to raise their own kids. Your cowardice just doomed everyone else's freedom, and you are utterly disgusting! Wake the hell up and understand what this means! Starmer's upcoming social media edict is the definitive death rattle of British liberty, a chilling milestone where the state officially nationalises your children and liquidates the concept of parental authority. Under the guise of a benevolent 'protection' racket, the Labour government will legally bar anyone under sixteen from ten major digital platforms, including TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat, and YouTube. But the true, mask-off authoritarianism lies in the regimes treatment of sixteen and seventeen year olds, who will be subjected to a mandatory, state enforced nightly social media curfew, locking them out of the digital world from 9pm to 7am. And the ultimate hypocrisy of the system. Under the Representation of the People Bill, the government claims 16 and 17 year olds are mature enough to vote, pay taxes, and shape the geopolitical future of the United Kingdom, yet simultaneously argues they are too fragile to choose their own bedtime on the internet. To round out this corporate-state panopticon, the government is completely banning under 18s from specific AI chatbots and stripping apps of basic features like disappearing messages and livestreaming. The sheer, suffocating dystopia of this policy is found not in what it bans, but in how it must be enforced. To police a nightly digital curfew for near adults, the state cannot rely on an honour system; it requires total, invasive, and inescapable biometric surveillance. Every single citizen, regardless of age, will soon be forced to scan their face, upload government identification, or surrender biometric data just to access the foundational infrastructure of the modern internet. By weaponising a media-stoked moral panic to convince 'nine out of ten' terrified parents (the 30-odd thousand moronic parents who responded to the consultation) to beg for their own subjugation, the Starmer regime has executed the Hegelian script flawlessly. They allowed algorithmic poison to fester, waited for the public to scream for a saviour, and are now delivering the ultimate trap: a permanent digital passport system where the state controls your face, your identity, and your right to communicate after dark.
🚨 NEW: Keir Starmer will introduce nightly social media curfews for 16 and 17-year-olds as part of the Government's social media ban [@thetimes]

My daughter was nearly in tears the other day. Because she can’t find a casual job. “Dad I’ll do anything. I’ll wash dishes at 6am” - & she means it. Did it last year. But there are no jobs now as, it seems, they’re all going to foreigners This makes me feel… revolutionary
I just do not understand this. My 20 year old daughter is desperate for a summer job. And this kind of low skill casual work is what OUR kids used to do. But our government insists on giving these jobs to foreigners who then bring in their benefit-claiming families. WTAF

There are over 1 million unemployed young people across the country. But local authorities are blocking white Brits from accessing taxpayer funded employment schemes to help them get back into work. Taxpayers' cash should not be spent on anti-white two-tier schemes.

I have been incredibly fortunate in my life to have experienced the huge growth of the digital world, powered by the Internet, since the web started to become generally used in the mid-1990s. I had my first Compuserve account and email address in 1995. I am overwhelmed by sadness – and fear – that we are about to see the first attempts by a British government to censor the Internet, in the form of a selective ban on social media access. What dark times we are entering. I cannot believe we have got here.

I used to work in the ambulance service. . It cannot be fixed. It actively recruited yes men over my 12 year period. It took on too much. It went from accident and emergency plus serious medical refer transfers to a catch all for every social problem in the country. It started with every out of hours GP request. So from 5pm to 9am we took on most those calls. The service then open up the 999 call handling centre to cheaper unqualified staff who followed crib sheets. Previously, older experienced paramedics went into call centres as they got too old to be hauling 25 stone men and women up and down stairs. So more ambulance were sent to "non jobs". Then there was a benefits boom. I had a call to a girl on benefits who didn't have the money to get a taxi to the GP who was 1 mile from where she lived. She didn't want to walk with the push chair. Her child had the sniffles. It was the beginning of the state dependent generation. I had a female with a missing tampon after sex, she lived 400 yards from the local hospital. I drove 20 miles across the county on blues before getting the real story. It was not the reported haemorrhage. Then we started getting everything, Pissed up at the weekend and cut yourself in your beer bottle, call an ambulance to get your pissed up arse 20 miles to the nearest hospital for stitches Having a pissed up mental health crisis at 2am, call an ambulance. Flown in from America for recently diagnosed af, get an ambulance, Need out of hours cancer care, call an ambulance. Every other NHS department closed is doors at 6pm and everything went to the ambulance service. Granny got d&v, call an ambulance. Having your 5th child so you can get a bigger house on benefits, you get an ambulance to take you to hospital. When I started, we used to get 2 to 3 real calls per 12 hr shift. 5 was busy. You worked within an area. When I left there was no such thing as a 12 hr shift. 14 hr became norm, you drive over 3 counties and never stopped. When I started the training was free, in-house and you could qualify within 2.5 years. Now it's A 4 year expensive degree. Plus extra driving licence upgrade costs. No-one I worked with remained within the ambulance service. Everyone has left. The crap you're sent to is astonishing whilst the really sick people die on the streets. All the good staff and managers left. Only the yes men stayed and the decline continues. I'm out of touch now but it doesn't sound like things improved. There aren't more ambulance stations, there are fewer. There were fewer ambulances in my time also. There was always plenty of money for courses in diversity, bed sores, the patients rights when they are attacking you etc. Human resource departments and tick box departments certainly grew more than the front line staff department, in line with every other NHS department. The culture of state dependency is also irreversibly high Everyone feels they are entitled to an ambulance, because we've encouraged everyone that their truth is valid. In the meantime, those that really need it, go without. The population continues to rise, the aging population rises but the amount of ambulances doesn't. For those who think illegal immigrants don't use the NHS , you need to realise they are the first to use it. If you think illegal economic migrant numbers are ok, just wait till you here about the illegal health care migrants. Even before we opened our borders to 3rd worlders, when the EU first opened up to Poland and then Bulgaria, the health care migration was astonishing. I previously had no idea about the mismatch We took in thousands that didn't have access to mental health centres or even deaf support. But that's a story for another day. We're in the mess we put ourselves with prime in charge incapable of turning it around. My advice. If you can get yourself to hospital, do it. You could die waiting for that ambulance to save you.

48% of all social housing in London has a foreign-born head of the household, according to data from the 2021 census. And 35% of them are either unemployed or economically inactive. No wonder Khan woos the migrants. He’d be mad not to.

Tomorrow marks the 3rd anniversary of losing him. It’s unbearable and still so raw. In an effort to try and think of his legacy it feels appropriate to share details of the major fundraiser for his foundation. More details of this special evening plus news of very ‘special guests’ to follow. We would love to see anyone and everyone who wants to join us. Many who follow me here are not in or near Somerset, and some may not be interested in this aspect of my family; but for anyone who does fancy a trip to the Westcountry; you are most welcome. 💚💛 Tables of 10 can be booked via email: sarah@kfarchitects.co.uk

Belfast houses more asylum seekers per capita than almost any other place in the UK. One in 200 people in Belfast is an illegal migrant. Who could possibly have foreseen civil unrest? It’s the immigration, stupid.

The Asylum Backlog Hit 87,450. The Terror Watchdog Warned of a Security Risk 87,450 people are in the asylum appeals backlog. That is roughly the population of Carlisle. Imagine every man, woman and child in that city, waiting in a queue that grows by the day, more than double the number of new asylum claims made in the same year. The numbers published this week should stop a government in its tracks. The backlog is up 71.5 percent in a single year. 70 percent of rejected claimants now appeal. 40 percent of those rejected remain in Britain regardless. Of the more than 200,000 people who have crossed the Channel illegally since 2018, only around 4 percent have ever been removed. The system is not failing to cope with the numbers. The system is the numbers. The Home Office describes this as progress, pointing to a 72 percent fall in the initial decision backlog since 2023. What it does not say is where those decisions went. They went into the appeals system, where the backlog has more than doubled. Speeding up the front door while leaving the back door unchanged relocates the queue and multiplies it, because every rejected claimant who appeals is entitled to taxpayer-funded accommodation while they wait. The National Audit Office puts the total cost at £4.9 billion for 2024-25, with £2.1 billion spent on hotels alone. Shabana Mahmood's response is to legislate again, restricting Article 8 family life claims to immediate family, requiring judges to prioritise public safety, and setting a 28-week limit on appeals. That legislation implicitly admits the current framework has allowed dubious family connections to block removal, that judges have not been prioritising public safety, and that appeals have run indefinitely. These are not new problems Mahmood has discovered. They have been documented for years by anyone willing to look, while those who raised them were told they were exaggerating or that no evidence existed. Then there is Jonathan Hall. Not a commentator. Not an activist. The government's own Independent Reviewer of Terrorism Legislation, a King's Counsel appointed specifically to provide neutral expert assessment of the law. This week, in the aftermath of the Belfast stabbing and the riots that followed, Hall said publicly that immigration must be assessed in national security terms, that certain nationalities present elevated risk profiles for serious violence, and that trauma among asylum seekers from conflict zones may compound that risk further. Foreign nationals accounted for one in seven sexual offence convictions in 2024. Hall is not speculating. He is the most senior independent legal authority on terrorism law in the country, and he has said the system as it stands is a security risk. The government's response to Hall's intervention was silence. He raised it through proper channels. Nobody answered. So here is where Britain stands. An appeals backlog larger than the population of an entire English city, growing at 71.5 percent a year. A removal rate of 4 percent for illegal arrivals. A National Audit Office report confirming the cost is disproportionately high and driven by delay. A Home Secretary legislating to fix problems that amount to an admission the system has been broken in exactly the ways critics described. And a terror watchdog, appointed by the government itself, warning that the entire framework constitutes a national security risk, met with silence from the department responsible for it. This is not a system under strain. It is a system working exactly as designed. Faster removals, restricted appeals, leaving the ECHR, every lever has been available for years and none pulled with urgency. The backlog will keep growing. The removal rate will stay near zero. Somewhere in that queue of 87,450, the next Belfast is already waiting its turn. "In the aftermath of the Belfast stabbing and the riots that followed, Hall said publicly that immigration must be assessed in national security terms"
