"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." Benjamin Franklin
“Beware those who claim to know what’s best for you, for they are the ones who will eventually strip you of your liberty." George Orwell
This sums up today’s announcement by the PM perfectly. You will need to prove you are not 16 to use social media. With iOS 26.4 you already have to prove you’re over 18 to fully use your phone. 1984 is not fiction! BigBroWatch
@Keir_Starmer We need to stop this. It’s always about the kids. Parents need to learn how to keep their children safe online with parental controls. We will all now have to provide ID’s just to use social media.
@GBNEWS Maybe GB news should come inspect the border. She is living in coo coo land. Nothing will change it as people will not allow it. Make a hard border because of one lunatic.
The common travel area includes all constituent parts of the UK and IOM and islands including the Republic of Ireland. Why on earth would we give away our freedoms because of that savage monster. You want to see a protest, just try create a hard border on this island. It’s not the troubles anymore
@GBNEWS@toryboypierce It’s our freedom to travel. The common travel area affects many people. There are over 300 border crossings. Don’t tread on our rights because of one lunatic. He didn’t come over on a dingy. He flew.
@innersoul444@JordanMoff1995 It was horrendous. I saw the video. The brutality. I feel for the Belfast man. His life is going to be ruined by this senseless attack. The injuries look so serious.
@GBNEWS We don’t need to destroy our freedom of movement. That’s such a knee jerk reaction. The focus should be on the individual and how he was not checked out. I hope the Belfast man makes a full recovery. What a horrendous attack to go through. Utterly shocking.
@JimAllister@HoratioNelson0 We shouldn’t take away our freedom of travel because of some unhinged cretin. Saying that there are definitely questions that need answering when it comes to the issue at hand. To ruin someone’s life like that is unthinkable. I hope the person makes a speedy recovery.
Time we start putting nationalist and unionist differences aside. The more I think about here the more I know everyone has more in common than they think. NI is a great place to live. We all struggle with the same things. Ni is unique and that should be celebrated. Going to make an effort to be more understanding / empathetic.
Lidl's world first pub is due to open in east Belfast in a matter of days.
It may sound like a gimmick, but the supermarket chain's venture into the world of hospitality shines a light on something more complex.
