Not everybody can be sorted out through law. sometimes you can do legal yet morally awful things

[Paul Embery @PaulEmbery]

This is a fair point. The Walliams/Brand affairs aside, I'm seeing a lot of people curl their lips at the thought of older men having sexual relationships with young women. But the law allows for it. Parliament has legislated in a way that permits a 70-year-old bloke to have sex with a 16-year-old girl (position of trust scenarios excepted). If that makes our skin crawl as a nation (it certainly does mine), we should change the law.

@ScotsMan8871 The war bit. A lot of pensioners parents didn't fight the war either

Anyway 'meaningful' is a loaded term and in reality theyll.just be picking up people's litter or sitting there bored at care homes

[. @SCFCJosh96]

Increasingly even that isn't the case anymore.

[Scott @ScotsMan8871]

That’s because their parents fought a world war… actually having the youth do something that isn’t just going to uni, getting a degree then complaining about not getting a job or working some minimum wage job might be overall beneficial not only to themselves but society.

[. @SCFCJosh96]

@fox_milder Ironic that the young people would be doing stuff that has only arisen because of those generations

"spend time with lonely people in care homes" aye because their adult children think a visit every two weeks is more than enough

[. @SCFCJosh96]

Forcing 16-18 year olds to do something their parents and grandparents didn't have to do whilst also promising them a worse life as adults. Fantastic idea.

[Rishi Sunak @RishiSunak]

Some political ideas age better than others.

When I proposed a new model of national service in the 2024 election, it quickly became the butt of jokes. Now France and Germany are taking steps towards it, and in Sweden places are highly prized by teenagers and employers alike.

What I’d seen as prime minister – the constant probing by our enemies, which didn’t distinguish between civilian and military – had convinced me we would soon need some kind of resilience corps. The cyberattacks on European supermarkets, with fridges remotely set to 50C so the food spoils, show this is our new reality. Defence spending won’t stop that. Responsibility for our security can’t just be subcontracted to the military.

In a world in which the government feels obliged to tell us to stockpile tinned goods, our culture needs to change. It will take more than well-stocked cupboards to meet this moment.

A new, universal national service scheme should offer people options. A few might join a small, selective military cadre. Others could serve with search and rescue, St John Ambulance or Meals on Wheels, or train in cybersecurity.

It would make us more resilient and more cohesive, give the almost one million young people not in education, employment or training a sense of purpose, and remind us all that citizenship brings responsibilities as well as rights.

Said this about Russell Brand earlier this year, and feel even more strongly about it now about the David Walliams allegations: there should be a staggered age of consent.

Someone in their thirties has no business having sex with a teenager, even if they're 'legal'!

[. @SCFCJosh96]

If it was beneficial to them it wouldn't happen. Its just about being a bit spiteful to the youth and wanting cheap labour for the broke local authorities

sad that about Danny Kelly.

Top 10 player when some of the oldies retire. Might win a masters and a few world semis

[147mag @147Magtr]

Really curious about Jak Jones' true ceiling. A borderline top 16 player with a few ranking wins, or an established elite who consistently contends for major titles?

Bad news for the Christmas schedules re Walliams.

The regulator said most clubs can barely survive a few months with no owner funding

A but worrying most of English football operates on the principle there will be always people willing to thrown stupid money at clubs

[Magic hat 🎩 @themagic_tophat]

At least four PL clubs are up for sale privately. Could be more.

Broadcast and commercial revenues are starting to plateau. Relative strategic and operational excellence are about to become the key differentiators.

Fewer owners have the appetite for that.

[. @SCFCJosh96]

Hundreds of mps have no official government or shadow role so call for this stuff because its the one thing they can change. Reduce the number of mps and send these people back to become councilors (higher funding) where they actually face responsibility

[. @SCFCJosh96]

They think this is probably their one last shot at getting some form of digital ID through on their terms. No right wing government will pass anything they want. And they'll never have hundreds of labour mps backing them because they get called mean names on Twitter

[. @SCFCJosh96]

Seems to be a stench of desperation coming from the state over this. They seem determined to get as much through as possible in the littlest time as possible. They must think something is on the horizon.
