- Comment on Sir Keir Starmer resigns as prime minister 1 day ago:
Reporting underage accounts is already a thing. I agree, it would just be best to kill it. Personally, I think internet restrictions should be handled by the ISPs and by parents, with default parental controls switched on, disclaimers, and even possible legal threats about allowing your children to access restricted platforms. Possibly have schools enforce the social media ban as well. (Ie, they can punish you for simply owning a social media account)
- Comment on Sir Keir Starmer resigns as prime minister 2 days ago:
Probably even just less extreme measures by banning accounts that are obviously kids

Fair
- Comment on Big Tech is stoking unrest in the UK. Why? Elon Musk’s amplification of anti-immigrant sentiment in Belfast, Southampton and beyond cannot be explained by ideology alone 2 days ago:
Don’t really care about musk. I think he’s a grifter. I got told once that the term “genuine concerns” when discussing illegal immigration is a “dogwhistle”. And thus that automatically made me a white supremacist or some nonsense.

- Comment on Big Tech is stoking unrest in the UK. Why? Elon Musk’s amplification of anti-immigrant sentiment in Belfast, Southampton and beyond cannot be explained by ideology alone 2 days ago:
Silencing good faith arguments surrounding immigration does cause riots. Riots happen whenever democracy fails. It’s best to allow the debates to happen, but draw the line at obvious racism.
- Comment on Sir Keir Starmer resigns as prime minister 2 days ago:
It didn’t happen, bullying didn’t follow you home.
- Comment on Sir Keir Starmer resigns as prime minister 2 days ago:
I quite like the idea. The peer pressure to use social media as a kid is real. I’m glad that whenever I have kids, they won’t have to face that (I would have banned it for them anyway)
- Comment on Sir Keir Starmer resigns as prime minister 2 days ago:
If it’s done like Australia, it’ll only be for big tech platforms. If you care about privacy, you wouldn’t use them anyway.

That’s three
- Comment on Why is it almost every cease fire or deal made in the Middle East everyone adds a little fuck you to the Kurds? Just like the MoU screwed them. As far back as I think Nixon was fucking over them. 5 days ago:
What happened now
- Comment on UK Introduces Full Social Media Ban For Under 16s - Including Snapchat, TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook and X. 1 week ago:
Hopefully it’s the same as Australia where they name specific sites and not generic unclear definitions like the OSA

It’s treason, not terrorism

Way to water down what “terrorist” means

Keep spamming. I doubt it’ll lessen your chances.

If you’re talking about reform’s, both are vibes based.

It already happened

Zack Polanski’s manifesto looks like something a 14 year old twitter user would write to be rebellious. It’s like a guide on how to destroy the country
- Comment on The Russian Neo-Nazi Network Pushing ‘White Lives Matter’ Division in Britain – Promoted by Tommy Robinson 2 weeks ago:
Tommy Robinson should be charged for treason. He’s clearly trying to cause disorder to assist our enemy (Russia)

Jonathan Buckley MLA has just mentioned on Radio Ulster an old man from Northern Ireland with dementia was rushed to hospital after a brick was put through his window in Portadown
- Comment on Far right accused of seeking to foment UK-wide unrest over Belfast knife attack 2 weeks ago:
Northern Ireland has always had summer riots. Generally it was between the British and Irish populations. Now all of the reconciliation work and cross community work has proven effective… and… well… uh oh…

We r taiking are cuntry back /s
- Comment on Anti-immigration protesters in Belfast set bins and vehicles on fire amid unrest over knife attack 2 weeks ago:
I think they even set one of their own homes on fire due to setting a car on fire outside
Also, that bus that was burned was outside the East Belfast Mission, a property owned and run by the Methodist Church in Ireland, and it was likely damaged.
Not a single braincell among them.
- Comment on Anti-immigration protesters in Belfast set bins and vehicles on fire amid unrest over knife attack 2 weeks ago:
The 9th of June was exactly one year since something like this happened in Northern Ireland.
We cannot go 365 days without doing this
- Comment on Man taken to hospital with serious injuries after Belfast stabbing 2 weeks ago:
He was sawing at him, which I think counts as “stab”
- Comment on Man taken to hospital with serious injuries after Belfast stabbing 2 weeks ago:
He raises his hand at one point and shouts something that I couldn’t make out. Eventually, people come and start beating him with Hurlies before the police arrive and apprehend him.
