UK is a police state
JUST IN: UK Government clarifies adults will still be able to use social media by verifying their identities with digital IDs, facial recognition, passports and credit cards.

There are so many people just standing around, filming or doing nothing as @YoungBobRB is brutally beaten up in the street. What have we become?

My brief take on @GBNEWS re Labour's 2-tier social media ban for u 16s. Somehow Starmer forgot to ban Bluesky. They're such numpties: so keen to contol how plebs communicate, they forget to control their own comms & make their biases blatantly obvious. wa.me/447976628584?source=ex…

I’m not a tech person so maybe this is dumb but isnt it easier to create a “children’s phone” at point of sale so you get a phone with built-in restrictions rather than asking every single person in the country whether they are over 16 or not through hackable digital ID software?

Sadiq Khan is playing with fire. He helped to incite the mob that besieged Edgware synagogue. He condemned the event taking place at the synagogue, effectively giving a green light to the keffiyeh bigots. What a disgrace he is, says Brendan O’Neill buff.ly/0bVGs2e

How is this property event now headline news? There are events selling homes in Northern Cyprus that take place all the time in London. NOBODY gives a damn. Jews hold an event on property in Israel and everyone goes mad. Jewish life is being suffocated in the UK.

Keir Starmer won’t stop your kids being attacked by illegal migrants, he just doesn’t want them reading about it on the internet

Omg... it's the minutiae of the bedtime dictat that floors me! They're not even trying to hide the belief that they can parent YOUR children. As anyone who has ever put screentime controls on their kids phones will tell you, this raises questions that we parents are going to have to answer to our furious kids: Does this include weekends? Does this include school holidays? Does this include WhatsApp (the main way parents and grandparents communicate with kids)? ALL this is going to do is cause huge arguments amongst families and create a generation even more normalised to being controlled by The State. They can still see d*** pics on the bus home. It's theatre. This is not a serious government
🚨 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]

Aaargh!
Ugh. This is DISGUSTING @LushLtd. Teenage girls love to shop in your stores and here you are happily encouraging them to CUT OFF THEIR HEALTHY BREASTS in the name of trans pride. This is beyond repulsive. It's dangerous and sick. No parent should allow their child near your stores. Please share: #BoycottLushNow

Bluesky won’t be included in the under-16s social media ban. Twitter/X will be. This is clearly a political decision, nothing to do with child safety.

Those idiots deserve what they got, but my greater contempt is reserved for the propaganda agents like Polanski, Owen Jones, Mehdi Hassan and all the others who pushed the Gaza genocide hoax for clicks and conned these people into throwing their futures away.
Gut wrenching to see four young people jailed for direct action against an arms supplier to Israel. Years in prison for protesting to save lives in Gaza, with 'terrorism' used despite no jury convicting them of it. A truly dangerous attack on the right to protest.

When you know antizionism is antisemitism. The National Covid Memorial Wall opposite Parliament has a plaque with 23 national flags. Only one was defaced: Israel. Not China. Not Russia. Not Saudi or Pakistan. All serial human rights abusers. Just the one Jewish state.

Oh yes, I remember that Bond film where the villain decarbonized the auto industry, brought fast internet to everyone on the planet, and helped paralyzed people interact with the world again.

Indeed
There are streets in Ramallah named after suicide bombers and your objection is that Israel has checkpoints?

Over 100,000 people filled Tel Aviv's streets for the annual Pride Parade - one of the world's largest Pride celebrations and the Middle East's most significant. In a region where LGBTQ individuals face persecution and danger, Israel stands out as a place where LGBTQ people can live openly, proudly, and authentically. 🇮🇱🏳️‍🌈

Mirth!
