  What next, ID verification required to open an Argos catalogue? Go into Tesco? Although, Tesco already charge you more if you are under 18 as children can’t join their card system

    Shhh… Dont give them new ideas. I mean they’re already following 1984 by the book.

    Side note, loyalty systems are a capitalist sham that should effectively be scrapped.

    Can under-18s hold many loyalty discount cards? I expect co-op stores allow it from 16, as they’ve been supporting votes at 16 for years.

      Its due to laws on data harvesting on children. If coop doesn’t harvest that data then they could give them to children too. Tbh more people should probably be mad at Tesco for harvesting that data, but they don’t.

  Meanwhile the public are looking seriously at whether the government has completely lost the plot.

  Can we seriously look at banning this government? Greens seem sensible enough.

    I’ll take the greens. Only candidate in the last election who has done anything beneficial to society. Last I saw her she was taking part in a clean up at the local beach.

    Labour candidate was a gymbro. Libdem hadn’t bothered to update his profile since running in a previous election over 100 miles away, Tory is current MP and voted to allow water companies to endlessly dump sewage on the beach. She is also a fucking moron (or happy to pander to far right hate mobs) based on the few posts I have heard of from her.

  Just ban the internet at this point.

    “Our official position is that the internet is for adults so don’t let your mum catch you” would solve all this silly shit

    Seriously, this is getting out of hand. Pure authoritarianism is what this is, constantly nagging and nagging and people are naive enought to trust such motives.
