I know I'm droning on about the social media ban - but I cannot believe the numbers on here believing it's to do with children's welfare. There are actual heartfelt debates about how the ban - only a lever for digital IDs - comes from a place of caring even a jot about children.
📱There's no such thing as a social media ban for under-16s
It means we will ALL face a “papers, please” demand to get online.
Holding platforms to account and giving parents the tools they need are the answer for child safety - not government-issued bans and digital ID checks for all.
@DavidVance That was always going to be the aim. People cheering on the under 16 ban don't realise that it doesn't end there. They want every aspect of our lives controlled.
The restriction on social media for children turns out to be more than it seemed.
It’s in fact digital IDs by the back door.
This is a step far, far too far @Keir_Starmer
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.
Starmer says he’s not prepared to stand by & let children (mostly harmlessly) use social media.
But he’s happy to stand by & allow thousands of unvetted rapists & violent illegal migrants into the UK to roam our streets.
Make it make sense.
It’s not social media that’s “inflaming tensions”.
It’s not Elon Musk.
It’s not Nigel Farage.
It’s not the ‘far-right’.
It is the very deliberate policy of mass uncontrolled immigration & open borders.
This policy has to end or it will destroy Western nations.
This is simply not true @Keir_Starmer.
You absolutely DO tolerate abhorrent scenes of violence like this attack. Just like you tolerate all the rapes and sexual assaults of women and girls by illegal migrants.
You - and most of the political class - decided long ago that these crimes are a price worth paying in return for achieving your multicultural, diverse, open bordered nirvana.
So don't pretend to be shocked and don't wring your hands in sadness. This is the predictable (and predicted) result of the policies YOU support.
