Could we see a general election in the spring of 2027, when millions suddenly lose access to social media? 🙄
DIGITAL ID in March would require the authorities to issue MILLIONS of photo IDs in double quick time. That would be a impressive given how long it takes to get anything from the State!?
So, will millions lose access to social media in March? 🙄

🚨BREAKING: All Britons may need ID to use social media, the UK's online safety regulator today announces
“This plan for a government ‘social media ban’ is a national ID system by the back door.
Both the government and Ofcom have admitted that children will get around the ban, which means the real effect will be normalising adults and children alike to hand over their passports just to get online.
Hundreds of thousands of people without ID, who tend to be poorer people, and many more who don’t want to risk handing their passports over to foreign tech companies will be locked out of huge parts of the internet.
The plan will kill anonymity online, whilst the UK’s culture of speech policing is reaching a crisis point. The policy is painfully misguided, an Orwellian assault on free speech and privacy, and will make children no safer at all.
The false illusion that children aren’t on social media will cause the companies to abandon all their child safety measures. The Government could be promoting meaningful safety measures and supporting parental controls that genuinely protect children - instead, they’re demanding government ID from the whole population just for uncensored internet access. It is authoritarian madness.”

Apple unveils its first touchscreen MacBook.
Big deal 🙄 Have you noticed that since Jobs Apple haven't had a significant invention? Just tinkering and inflated prices.

A planned under-16 social media ban could lock out more than 100,000 older teens who lack photo ID, the regulator warns.
The ban is not needed - use existing *parental* controls.
Privatisation of water - what a sh.t idea:
Eight of England’s nine water companies are still failing environmental standards despite major investment, according to a new report.
Prison recalls in England and Wales have surged, with more people recalled than released despite early-release measures to ease overcrowding.
Government - Doh!
Even the shop for the poor faces bankruptcy.
Poundland is on the brink of administration, putting up to 12,000 jobs at risk as it seeks a rescue deal.
PM Andy Burnham defends the Budget and says the government wants to cut the welfare bill “as soon as we possibly can.”
We have an idiot as PM: he can cut the welfare bill now, today.

Welcome to Begging Bowl Britain. Labour used to be the workers' party, now it's the party of scroungers, liars and layabouts. Anything to cling on to power, as we plummet towards third world status...

Justice? Prevention? Obvious not.
It'll get worse, unless Brits wake up.
Five young savages sentenced for swarming, robbing and battering innocent people in Bradford—including two teenage boys and a lone visitor from the North East.
One 15yo forced to empty an ATM after being surrounded at the Interchange. Another attacked, then attacked again with a baseball bat after a passerby intervened. A 16yo chased, punched, kicked and smashed in the head with an aftershave bottle (broken nose, flashbacks, still waiting on surgery). “Shall we do him?” was the group’s considered response when one victim asked for his stuff back.
Fahed Nouaimi (19) and his brother Ahmad (22) both Syrian nationals got 37 and 32 months. The rest of the group (Ayman Albadien, Kenny Abdoul Katie, Mohammed Fakraoui) walked out with suspended sentences, unpaid work and, in one case, a temporary ban from Bradford. Judge noted it might have been “mistaken identity.” Lucky the kid didn’t die, basically.
Nothing to see here. Just another normal week of random group violence against random locals and visitors. Extremely diverse and vibrant. Carry on.

🚨 SCIENTISTS MAY HAVE FOUND A WAY TO REPAIR BACK DAMAGE
For years, damaged spinal discs could only be treated with pain relief or surgery. Now, scientists have developed a special injectable gel designed to actually repair the discs instead of just hiding the pain.
The gel works by copying the structure of healthy spinal tissue, helping the spine heal and move more naturally. Early research is showing results that could change the future of chronic back pain treatment forever.
