The East German state already did this experiment… it ended very badly for every single one of those young girls, some as young as 11.

They fucking released the man who threw a toddler into a crocodile enclosure because he was not fit for interview. If the parents did the same out of utter rage and losing their mind. Would they be seen as fit. I can’t get WTF is happening in this country. At bare minimum he should be locked up in a mental asylum
Surely ??????!

There are 120 secret U.S.-funded biolabs in 30 countries. Anyone who tried to expose these foreign gain-of-function labs was threatened and silenced by the Biden administration and Fauci. This level of secrecy and intimidation should concern every American.

I will cancel Netflix and Amazon rather than be forced to pay more to subsidise the BBC.

Take heed, no government will force me to pay for the BBC, whom I despise, against my will. How dare they 🔥

Free Speech is the foundation of a free society - without it we can have no other freedom

Those that tried to stop Tommy Robinson debate at Oxford Union & cancel events - & use violence - chanting ‘fascists’ - display the behaviour of what actual fascists do. We have seen this more generally recently and it’s a danger to all of our freedoms. Whether you agree with him or loathe his argument it’s vital we all get to clarify these things openly

Everyone should take the opportunity to openly debate Publicly ideas - to win through the best ideas - and trust the public to decide. But they don’t trust the public. They think they’re all dumb

The attempts to shut down cancel is insulting and dangerous to our society. We must insist on letting the antiseptic of light illuminate ideas for us all to decide upon

Insist on free speech together @GBNEWS

[DNI Tulsi Gabbard @DNIGabbard]

Today, on my final day as Director of National Intelligence, I’m releasing never-before-seen communications and documents exposing how Dr. Fauci provided millions in US taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, worked with politicized elements within the Intelligence Community to suppress the truth about his actions and hide the virus’ lab-leak origins, and lied to Congress while under oath in 2024. It’s time you know the truth.

If adults are truly concerned about children's access to social media (which is undoubtedly harmful), parents should stop their own children from using it (rather than delegating their parenting to the state).

The same parents who currently give in to the demands of their children will also give in to them after the ban is implemented. As a former headteacher, I worked with thousands of parents. I've witnessed the pattern countless times.

The social media ban for under 16s will do nothing to safeguard children against harm, as evidenced by Australia. In fact, the opposite is true.

The vast majority of children in Australia are still on social media sites, except they're now "adult only" sites.

The social media ban is really about digital ID.

Britain will be one of the first democracies in the world to require IDs in order to access the internet openly.

We are sleepwalking towards a total surveillance state.

[The Free Speech Union @SpeechUnion]

Last night, the much-anticipated and widely publicised debate featuring Tommy Robinson took place at the Oxford Union.

The Free Speech Union is disappointed to hear that the chamber was left half empty after more than 500 protesters blocked Union members from entering.

Several pubs and shops also took the precaution of boarding up their windows or announcing early closures for fear of potential unrest.

While Tommy Robinson is known for his controversial views, preventing opportunities to debate and challenge ideas is not the way forward.

PLEASE STOP IGNORING SIOBHAN WHYTE @Keir_Starmer.
Her daughter Rhiannon was stabbed to death by an illegal migrant.
She wants to meet you.
You've met the parents of other victims.
Why won't you meet her?
You don't have long left in power.
Do the right thing for once in your life.

[Kathryn Porter @KathrynPorter26]

This....

We should all be horrified. @UKLabour putting the UK into this company with its authoritarian nonsense

People are saying Andy Burnham might call a snap General Election once he unseats Starmer... I hope so. We must do everything we can to get this government out

#WorstGovernmentEver

[Dr Zoe Harcombe, PhD @zoeharcombe]

Upwards of 250,000 white British girls gang raped, caged, tortured, trafficked, impregnated by predominantly Muslim Pakistani gangs in at least 149 local authority districts over decades.

And yet collectively police, politicians, social services, the NHS, and schools were more concerned about maintaining community relations than stopping these atrocities.

Not upsetting the community was more important than an 11 year old being raped with a whiskey bottle (no Qs asked in A&E) or a 13 year old being raped by 600-700 men (care/police dismissed her as a prostitute).

Think about that. Just think about it.😡

[PotatoRustler @PotatoRustler]

🚨 For anyone tracking the under-16 social media bans in Canada and the UK, you might have noticed the government suddenly walking back some specific wording.

They backed off forcing you to upload credit cards or facial scans because of the public backlash, and now they’re pushing a "backend token system". It sounds less intrusive on the surface, but here is the truth about what that actually means, because most people are being completely misled by that marketing:

A cryptographic token isn't a magic, anonymous poker chip. To work, a token has to be anchored to something verified. That means your physical device, your phone carrier contract, or your real identity is permanently tethered to that token.
Every single time your phone throws that token to let you log into an app, it logs exactly who you are, where you are, and what you're doing.

It isn't a privacy shield to protect kids. It's a digital passport that tracks an adult's every move across the internet.

[S A M M Y Woodhouse @officialsammyuk]

You can now read the Rape Gang Inquiry report on the link below.

https://t.co/Cq2wvRLD4F

From Scotland to London, children were raped, trafficked, tortured, and murdered.

Children as young as four years old were passed on and sold by their own mothers to men to be raped.

Children endured decades of trafficking, filmed blackmail, "red rooms" of torture, animal rape, and witnessed murders of other girls. They were subjected to extreme violence including penetration by objects, strangulation, and backstreet abortions.

Pure evil has been allowed to continue since as early as the 1950s. The majority of perpetrators were Muslim men, and the people paid to protect these children didn’t just turn a blind eye; some were directly involved in the abuse and rape.

As we head into Stage 3 of the inquiry, we will be naming those individuals involved and pursuing private prosecutions.

So far, the inquiry has held two weeks of hearings in London, initiated multiple criminal investigations, taken legal action against dozens of services, collected files and evidence, and continues to give survivors and families a platform.

Some survivors are still being ignored and waiting for investigations to open. The NCA have still not responded to us and the interest of the NPCC is to safeguard the people we intend to name.

I would like to thank MP Rupert Lowe for starting the inquiry, our team, all participants, the donors who made this possible, and, of course, the public for supporting us.

Our work is far from over.

[Chris Heatherly @chrisheatherly]

I’m actually a child online safety expert and was one of the pioneers in this space with Club Penguin and so I feel uniquely positioned to critique this.

The groomer problem is real but it’s also vastly overstated. The far larger issue we saw at Penguin was suicidality or reports of sexual abuse in the home.

There is no solution for lazy/bad parenting. You can implement all the ID laws you want but if parents are going to just hand kids their phones unlocked, those kids will have access to all the same things the parents have unfettered.

What I found is that these draconian safety laws actually make it harder to be an honest operator of kids apps because on one hand it’s so much legal risk and so much user friction that it simply becomes uninvestible as a business.

Parents will just lie to let their kids use the unfettered internet. For example, I have a friend who works in mobile gaming who has two kids, one above and one below the age limit but separated by just 2 yrs, and the two wanted to play and chat together on Roblox - which is reasonable. To do this, he just verified that his younger kid is old enough for the chat feature when he’s not.

This happens all the time and will happen with these laws to. How far do we want to go with this? Scan the face of the user in real-time to make sure it’s not a kid using the device? We could do that but it feels like a massive unwanted intrusion of privacy.

That’s how you know this law isn’t about kids. COPPA and GDPR-K and so forth already make it illegal to allow chat and other grooming vectors to kids.

What’s really being done here is trying to eliminate online anonymity. And this is a far bigger issue that goes to core speech rights because if you cannot criticize the govt anonymously and if wrong speech is a crime then it becomes easy to identify all the detractors of the govt in power, and ban, fine or jail them for speech crimes.

Starmer has already been doing this and he wants to do it at a much bigger scale. Starmer won’t even acknowledge the problem of actual grooming gangs in Britain’s neighborhoods but he’s worried about online grooming?

No he’s not, and this hypocrisy gives away the game. What he wants is to kill online anonymity so he can enforce censorship of his unpopular policies. No politician should have this power.

[Kathryn Porter @KathrynPorter26]

@metoffice is at it again.... Reporting "record temperatures" from junk sites

These sites are so corrupted by their surroundings they are incapable of giving accurate temperature data

This one is next to both a heat source and a heat sink. That means heat is being added to and stored around the equipment

The Met Office has no business telling people that such corrupted data represent "temperature records"

Right, time for the Truth.
The smoke and mirrors and blatant deceit going on in the asylum system is horrifying.
Nothing the public is told is reliable. Hundreds of thousands of illegal migrants are unaccounted for. Home Office hasn’t got a clue where they are.
Government is shovelling migrants out of asylum hotels and giving them money to find a place to stay in the community. Desperate to look like the backlog is coming down.
Asylum caseworkers are granting leave to remain to known sex offenders from Eritrea, Sudan and Afghanistan because they are not allowed to refuse applicants from those “unsafe” countries.
It’s a sick joke.
The safety of women and children is at risk and these bullshit graphs are shared to prove how things are improving.
Things are NOT improving. Asylum caseworkers know it’s a ticking timebomb. Another Belfast attack can happen any day.
