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?
Forcing everyone in Britain to provide ID so they can log into social media has fuck all to do with child safety.
I'll just use a VPN. Fuck you Starmer.
@europa Like everyone else, I already knew the ending, but I still watched the video hoping that Henry Nowak would be found by normal, human-being police officers and given help. Nope - Just woke, broken Britain. Absolutely horrifying.
The Labour Party wants to ban social media for under-16s in the UK.
The Labour Party wants to lower the voting age to 16 in the UK.
Why?
The Labour Party wants voters to have no access to information beyond state education before they vote.

🇬🇧 Bodycam footage has been released showing Henry Nowak begging for an ambulance before being handcuffed behind his back.
Nowak: "I've been stabbed"
Officer: "I don't think you have mate"

As an American who has lived in London/the UK for the last 6 years I'm convinced UK people just hate being comfortable and hate convenience.
You have BEEN getting heatwaves at least the last 6 years. After the first 3 years of heatwaves you should have gotten a small air con unit for at least just your bedroom.
Buying it in the winter would also have made it much less expensive.
"But it's only for a few weeks!!"
So you won't get an AC window unit to use for a couple days and would rather constantly complain about it???
"But it's expensive!!"
You say UK houses retain heat (Which is always hilarious to me because in the winter, as soon as the heating goes off, the houses are ice cold), but you never talk about how SMALL a UK house is.
Using it even just at night for comfortable sleeping for the small handful of days you say you would need it just won't break the bank like you're making it seem.
You get one small air con unit off Amazon for £200. You can wheel it to whatever room you need it in, or just keep it in your bedroom and only use it then.
But whatever, keep wrapping your wet blankets or whatever you do around your necks.
You're allowed to be upset people don't understand your weather and why it's so detrimental. You can, and should, be upset about global warming.
But not doing anything about it for yourself is so aggravating.
@87027wolf@ISkye2021@Mattisamazing33 I really struggle to choose drinks in the Tamworth Tap because they're all unusual, I always make the wrong choice. I'll give this one a try then next time I go there.
Look at Tamworth.
Reform contested nine seats.
Reform won nine seats.
Not five. Not six. Not a respectable breakthrough.
Nine out of nine.
A total wipeout.
That is what happens when voters stop merely disliking a government and start actively looking for a political weapon to punish it.
Tamworth was not sending Labour a polite message.
It was serving an eviction notice.
And this is the danger for Starmer: once people decide Labour is not just disappointing but fundamentally dishonest, the floor can fall away very quickly.
You cannot campaign as change, govern as continuity, insult the voters, blame the inheritance, raid their wallets, ignore their priorities, and then act shocked when they go somewhere else.
Tamworth is not a local embarrassment.
It is a national warning flare.
