Reminder. A social media ban was NOT in Labour's 2024 Manifesto. Neither was Digital I.D. Oh, or State Suicide. Or binning the two child benefit cap.

The Royal Society for Blind Children and the National Deaf Children's Society have both come out against the Starmer social media ban. "Internet bad" is a trendy, upper-middle-class opinion for people with extracurricular budgets that ignores legions of people who rely on it.

📱There's no such thing as a social media ban for under-16s It means we will ALL face a “papers, please” demand to get online. Holding platforms to account and giving parents the tools they need are the answer for child safety - not government-issued bans and digital ID checks for all.

Instead of removing criminals, the UK is removing people’s ability to expose crimes — through a social media ban (from which Bluesky is conveniently exempt)

“Extremely pleased and relieved? Of course you are, Ellie. Nothing says ‘caring mum’ like cheering on the government as it rips decision-making power away from actual parents and hands it to faceless Whitehall busybodies. You know what keeps me up at night? MPs like you who can’t wait to treat every British family as too stupid to raise their own kids without state supervision. ‘As a mum of a pre-teen’, spare us the performative concern. This isn’t protection, it’s control. And let’s be honest about the real endgame here: once you’ve built the mandatory age-verification system (national ID, biometric checks, the works) to ‘ban’ kids, it’ll be seamlessly extended to adults. ‘Prove you’re over 16, citizen, or no posting for you.’ This is a disgusting authoritarian Trojan horse dressed up as motherhood. Labour taking away parental authority while quietly building the infrastructure for digital IDs and social media licensing for everyone. Pathetic, predictable, and deeply sinister.”

🚨 A "BIG MOMENT FOR OUR COUNTRY." Good morning to the millions of everyday Brits waking up to a new digital prison. Keir Starmer has just officially announced his blanket ban on social media for teenagers! He literally stood at a podium, rambled on about his childhood in the 1970s, and claimed he is doing this to keep your kids safe. 🤡 You honestly have to laugh at the sheer delusion. He completely refuses to protect our actual streets from violent criminals, but he is completely obsessed with policing your family's phones. Do not be fooled for a single second! To enforce this ban, every single adult in Britain will now be forced to upload a passport or digital ID just to browse the web! This is not about child safety. It is a massive Trojan horse for total state surveillance. RT if you see right through this scam and refuse to let the Labour elite control us! 🇬🇧🔥

Since when did Conservatives campaign for more state intrusion into our family lives? Parents can already ban social media for their under-16s. And if this is just about children why is it I have to verify my identity to use these apps?

RT @LeoKearse: It's mad that yesterday a Pakistani man stabbed a 17-year-old girl in the neck in the middle of the street in Britain - and…

These are the exact same people who made “countering hate” their entire identity. They were the first to plant “Hate Has No Place Here” signs on their lawns. They insist “hate speech isn’t free speech.” They proudly fund groups like Hope Not Hate and Stop AAPI Hate They still chant “Love Trumps Hate” like it’s scripture. Yet here they are, in the pages of The Globe and Mail, publishing a guide on “how to properly hate” Elon Musk for the crime of building SpaceX into a company that could make him the world’s first trillionaire. Proof positive that their “anti-hate” crusade was never about hate. They are, in reality, full of hate. It was always about who they’re allowed to hate

What’s living in the UK like? I’ll tell you. In the last week alone we have had to process: -an attempted beheading by an illegal migrant from Sudan in Belfast -while still trying to make sense of a boy, Henry Nowak, being stabbed to death while police were more anxious about allegations of “racism” than trying to save his life -then we learn children in Scotland were assaulted by Bulgarians while the police didn’t believe them either -while reading that a vulnerable 18-year-old was r*ped by an asylum-seeker from Pakistan -while an asylum-seeker from Iraq got only 6 years for r*pe -while an Iraqi national, was found guilty of eight counts of r*pe and grooming children as young as 12 -and his friend from Iran who arrived illegally skipped bail and is on the run -and now we learn that a teenage girl has been stabbed in the neck by no doubt “a local man” in Burnley. That’s one week in the UK. Oh, and the Left say talking about all this is “divisive”, they blame social media and Elon Musk, and local councils have told us not to fly our national flag because it might “intimidate” migrants. One week. The UK. 🤡

This was the statement released by Police Scotland after the footage of the incident in Dundee went viral last year. It seems that everything was done to give the impression that the young girl was the aggressor and the migrant couple the victims. A court decided yesterday that it was the other way round. Blatant disinformation. Police Scotland owe everyone an explanation.

This meme describes the entirety of leftist discourse right now surrounding Belfast…

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.

I made this handy list of processes for politicians to follow if they want to avoid mass civil disorder: 1. Do what people want 2. Don't do what disgusting communist mutants trying to destroy Western civilisation want.

British culture is better than Pakistani culture. This isn’t controversial.

Imagine the levels of propaganda it took to make you more comfortable with random beheadings and gang rapes than being called racist.

A year before 7/7 I was stabbed, beaten and left for dead on a street in Manchester. It was a gang of Somali youths. My colleagues - I was working at a university - couldn’t bring themselves to blame the perpetrators. It was poverty, it was me, it was anything. But it wasn’t the masked thugs with stanley knives. 7/7 was the same. London Mayor Ken Livingstone urged us not to apportion blame. Even now the MSM refuses to acknowledge the Islamist nature of the crime. It’s an extraordinary state of affairs. Years later, in 2017, when twenty-two people, some of them children, were killed in the Manchester Arena attack, history repeated itself. Don’t look back in anger. One Love. Shit poetry. The stabbing I got over. But it took me years to come to terms with the pathetic reaction from the hand-wringing identitarians. That was really, really damaging. So I understand full well the harm we do to ourselves when we pretend 7/7 was some bizarre and contextless tragedy. It was Islamist terror - and there’s more to come. And you know what? We have absolutely no hope of effectively dealing with it.

This unqualified bore says his secondhand opinions are “not up for debate.” Yes they are. At a university all opinions are up for debate. If you cannot defend your opinions rationally, either they are indefensible or you are too stupid to defend them. In either case you have no right to force them on students who have expressed their wish to attend a lecture by doing so. thetimes.com/uk/education/ar…
