I am horrified by news of the attack in Edinburgh.
I am grateful to the police and emergency services for their bravery in apprehending the suspect and for their speedy response in attending to the victims.
The suspect appears to be motivated by anti-Muslim hatred.
There is no place for hatred and violence against Muslims. I know it is not who we are as a country.
And there it is - Starmer’s social media ban ‘to protect the kids’ will ensure that everyone who uses social media will have to give their information to the state.
Digital ID via the back door you say!
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.
🚨NEWS: Keir Starmer has announced that due to the under 16’s social media ban he is about to make law. Every adult in the UK will have to prove who they are to use social media.
Anonymity online is now officially dead
🚨Labour confirms ID requirement at device level - VPNs useless.🚨
By forcing Apple and Google to verify age at the device level during phone setup…
Keir Starmer’s government isn’t protecting kids — it’s building a surveillance infrastructure.
The OS itself will restrict platforms like TikTok, Instagram and X, making VPNs largely useless because the block happens before any traffic leaves your phone.
🚨Once every device carries a verified age profile, authorities gain an easy route to identify users through legal requests to tech firms.
This is digital ID by the back door, sold as child safety.
Classic Labour: expand state control first, ask questions later.

Greta’s friends from the Gaza Flotilla polluting the Mediterranean Sea with plastic (oil) a few hours ago.
They hope that the food in the plastic bottles will make its way ashore in Gaza.
@TufferB Very different back in my day, but lack of manufacture interest in the series will eventually be its downfall. Shame, it’s really lost it’s identity.
@melindiscott@TufferB The crowds were a bit different back in 2004 when I put this together: https://t.co/SDPqi4K01H
Mind you the BTCC was different back then and for the next five years or so. Memorable times.
I found out yesterday that my submitted image to the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition this year has been accepted to the exhibition. To say I’m mildly chuffed is an understatement!
