1.3 MILLION PEOPLE ASKED THE EU TO STOP COMPANIES FROM DELETING GAMES THEY PAID FOR.

THE ANSWER WAS NO.

The "Stop Killing Games" initiative wanted one thing: when publishers pull the plug, don't let them remotely destroy copies people already bought.

The European Commission's official response:
- It will not require publishers to keep games playable - says forcing them would go too far
- Reason given: publishers' copyright and IP rights come first. Your purchase comes second.
- The solution: a voluntary code of conduct, developed together with the same industry that kills games
- Plus an awareness campaign reminding you of the consumer rights you supposedly already have

1.3 million signatures. Years of work. Multiple hearings.

And the part that says everything: according to the campaign, Ubisoft got a seat at a closed-door meeting with the Commission before the decision. The 1.3 million people who signed did not.

Publishers can still brick your purchase whenever they feel like it.

If buying still isn't owning, then at least now it's official.

BREAKING: Battalion of security guards at Teaching Council investigation into Enoch Burke

Teacher Enoch Burke has now spent over 700 days in prison after he refused to use they / them pronouns for a male student.

The Teaching Council, set up by the government, is now “investigating” Enoch Burke with the threat that he will lose his license to teach.

Prison officers brought Enoch Burke from Castlerea Prison to the Teaching Council Offices in Maynooth this morning for a preliminary hearing.

The front entrance was blocked by three security guards from a private security firm. One of the men had a clipboard and asked the public for personal details before they were allowed entry.

The Teaching Council hired these guards on taxpayers’ money.

There were up to 10 of these security guards in the building manning the entrances and exits. This should not be. Under law, the hearing should be public. Today’s hearing was not public.

Enoch Burke spent approximately 6 hours at this hearing today with no legal advice or support in the room.

The panel set up by the Teaching Council to investigate Enoch Burke includes Chairperson Andy Pike, Clodagh O’Hara, and Adrian Guinan.

Panel members Andy Pike and Adrian Guinan left the building flanked by security. We understand that Clodagh O’Hara remained in the building until the Burkes had left to avoid being seen.

Enoch Burke asked Mr Andy Pike to step down due to social media activity expressing bias against him and support of the LGBTQ+ agenda. He also asked the other Panel members to step down for bias in previous conduct and decisions made.

Also seen in this video is Lorna Lynch SC who is a top-paid barrister and the legal advisor to the panel.

A decision on this is due to be delivered on Friday morning.

It is a scandal that Enoch Burke is being brought before this “Inquiry” at all.

Banning teenagers from social media with ludicrous conditions is unworkable, unrealistic and unwanted.

Here’s a mad idea - let parents parent.

Not the state, but mums, dads, grandparents or whoever else.

Restore Britain will always trust the family over big government.

[Rupert Lowe MP @RupertLowe10]

Any attempt to impose mandatory Digital ID will be fully repealed, scrapped and eradicated by a Restore Britain Government.

📱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.

🚨 THIS JOKER RANT IS GOING VIRAL FOR A REASON... 🚨

"You're just trying to exist...
But they own the land.
They own the water.
They own the food.
You’re born into a cage.
Taxed to breathe.
Forced to work.
Trapped in a system that calls it "freedom."

Natives lived with the Earth.

We pay rent to exist on it."

This guy in full Joker cosplay is spitting raw truth from his car... and millions are feeling it.

The system isn’t broken…
It’s designed this way.

Are you waking up yet?

As Keir Starmer backs social media restrictions for under-16s, @freyaindiaa asks the question policymakers often overlook:

What are the unintended consequences?

“I love the sound of these policies,” she says. “But what are the unintended consequences?”

In the rush to ban, regulate and restrict, this is the part of the conversation too many people skip.

Our statement on the UK government’s demand that all content on all devices sold or used in the country be scanned, on the presumption of nudity, using a dystopian combination of age verification and content scanning. This proposal will not safeguard children. It endangers us all.

At last the IPCC admits it has lied to you about climate change for decades. A generation of children have been indoctrinated with false climate propaganda and puppet Governments have enacted destructive and useless Net Zero policies.
But will they now stop ?
I doubt it because the truth does not matter anymore, real science does not matter anymore, the truth is the approved narrative and the narrative is whatever the ‘useless eliters’ decide it will be. Full on 1984.
