It is now being reported that X will be banned for children under 16 in Britain.
But that the woke platform BlueSky will not be banned.
This is obviously political.
We are ruled by idiots.
Do they not know every 15 year old revises GCSE’s on YouTube?
Do they not know that teenagers track their friends are home safely on SnapChat?
Do they not realise that - especially in rural areas with no transport - teenagers social lives are on… social media.
Do they not know that teenagers will find ways round - as has been shown in Australia.
This ban is illogical and damaging.
If I hear another parent say “it’s so hard to police them” I’ll scream. It’s a parent’s job. Take responsibility the children you are meant to be bringing up.
It is not the government’s job to look after your children.
But the government will now insist all adults provide ID to prove we are over 18.
😡
🚨 THEY CAN'T CONTROL THE BORDERS. BUT THEY CAN CONTROL YOU.
The government cannot stop the boats.
Cannot stop the hotels filling up.
Cannot stop the public anger.
Cannot stop the protests spreading from city to city.
But it can ban social media.
Interesting.
Because when governments begin losing control of events, they often become increasingly interested in controlling information.
Millions of people are worried about immigration.
Worried about crime.
Worried about the future of the country.
Yet instead of addressing the concerns driving that anger, the political class appears increasingly focused on regulating what people can see, hear and say online.
The public is beginning to ask a simple question:
Why is controlling access to information suddenly more urgent than controlling Britain's borders?
That question is not going away.
In fact, it is getting louder by the day.
A key element that Keir Starmer and the Labour government have quietly added to the social media ban for under 16s:
▪️Adults can still access social media through age checks like facial recognition, digital IDs, passports and credit cards.
Basically, a digital ID check on all adults on social media. The government are using the virtue smokescreen of online safety for children as a guise for wider digital ID verification for adults. As always with Starmer…smoke and mirrors to mask the real agenda.
Australia banned X for children but not BlueSky.
Britain is banning X for children but not BlueSky.
This proves one thing.
It's not about protecting children.
It's about censorship and controlling the narrative.
🚨 THE MASK HAS COMPLETELY SLIPPED.
Keir Starmer is banning social media for teenagers, but guess which app is magically exempt?
Bluesky. 🤡
They are blocking every platform that allows independent free speech, while leaving the ultimate left wing echo chamber wide open.
This was never about child safety. It is a highly coordinated plot to trap your kids in a digital bubble and brainwash them with pure establishment propaganda.
They want total control over what the next generation is allowed to think.
RT if you refuse to let the Labour elite indoctrinate our children! 🇬🇧🔥
The full UK State Pension is now worth around £12,548 a year. That's less than half the earnings of someone working full-time on the National Minimum Wage, despite many pensioners paying taxes and National Insurance for 40, 50 or even 60 years.
Yet every time the Treasury needs money, the same voices appear demanding the Triple Lock be scrapped.
Why?
State pension spending is forecast at around £154 billion this year, but that supports over 13 million pensioners, many of whom rely on it as their primary income. Meanwhile, billions continue to disappear into failed projects, government waste, bureaucracy, consultants, quangos and policies that deliver little value to ordinary taxpayers.
The Triple Lock isn't some gold-plated luxury. It exists because politicians allowed the State Pension to fall behind for decades. Even today, a full State Pension is barely above the poverty line and is nowhere near a typical working wage.
If politicians want to save money, start with waste, inefficiency and failed spending programmes.
Leave pensioners alone.
They worked, they paid in, they built this country and they deserve dignity in retirement, not another raid on their income.
oh … polling staff say family voting did happen and their staff were abused when they tried to stop it.
But this can’t be right? because ‘trusted’ journalists, political commentators, politicians AND the police said that family voting hadn’t happened and it was just far right propaganda.
The only way to stop this sort of disinformation is to ban social media.
Then the public would never know (see what I did there?)
