“A social media ban for u16s is a displacement activity. I think it makes us feel better - but won’t necessarily have much effect," @lewisgoodall.com.
Is banning social media for u16s really the answer - or should we be looking more closely at the power tech companies have?
Here's a white bell among the bluebells to break up the rantings of cheese puff in a wig 💕
Not content with starting wars, killing innocent people, threatening the Vatican, weakening the US economy
Trump wants to invade Greenland.
He said, "our great Military is Loading Up and Resting, looking forward, actually, to its next Conquest. AMERICA IS BACK!"
Is there no end to his stupidity?
That's the French one
Accountability brings consequences.
And consequences are the only language corruption understands.
Money and political power do not outrank the Constitution.
They just need a wake up call and it’s coming at the midterms.👇

British Steel on track to be fully nationalised within weeks.
Since privatisation steel companies have received subsidies; govts didn't take equity stake.
Water and energy are also vital. Need to be nationalised to promote investment, end profiteering, reduce business and household costs.
When will they realize without good quality accessible healthcare we will continue to have people signed off. That disabled people aren't the problem, billionaire tax avoiders are.
A cruel penalty’: disabled people face lower benefit payments if conditions not deemed lifelong.
A backbench revolt fought off previous govt attempt to cut disability benefits. Same needed again.
No attempt to cut corporate welfare - auto, steel, Internet, energy, shipbuilding receive subsidies.
@thenewsatglenn.bsky.social @pierrenovellie.bsky.social listening to the R. L Stine thing thinking I know that name. Then the lightbulb 💡 moment. One of the first writers of the Point Horror classics we all jumped on the bandwagon circa 1994. I preferred Dean Koonz I think 🤔
@pierrenovellie.bsky.social @thenewsatglenn.bsky.social I found this funny and depressing 🤣

@greenparty.org.uk I often get random thoughts so I thought I'd share. How about encouraging businesses to have child care within the business like a crèche. They could have discounts on rates or something in return. Just a thought carrot and stick approach
Exactly without EHCPs children will be left with what untrained teachers think is ok. I had to fight the school to prove my kids had ADHD and autism like me! That's the issue is schools don't want to spend money on SEND
To restore democracy and create a fairer, safer, greener world, we need massive taxes on the ultra-rich. As in the 1940s. People get confused about this. The main purpose of such taxes is *not* to raise revenue. The point is to stop the few dominating the many. It's an essential democratic measure.
How much more evidence do we need? The ultra-rich and the governments supporting them will destroy everything for the sake of profit, power and pride. Nothing is precious to them - not human life, not the living world - except their own wealth and status. Our survival depends on resisting them.
I wasn't intending to turn this into a thread, but it seems to have happened anyway.
It's about the great plague on our lives: the extreme wealth of a tiny number of people.
And what to do about it.
There is “no evidence that attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is overdiagnosed in the UK” and the condition could even be “underdiagnosed”, a team of experts has said

@pierrenovellie.bsky.social @thenewsatglenn.bsky.social I had to photograph the relentless highland cow tat in the range, in fairness it's bloody everywhere
Guess the Board of Peace got bored of peace.
Let's be real a lot countries (UK included) have been getting away with interfering under the guise of "special military operations" then pretending it was all in a good cause
@thenewsatglenn.bsky.social @pierrenovellie.bsky.social made me giggle
If you are unlawfully killed by the authorities, you posthumously become a terrorist.
It would be better if it was a peppercorn. Leasehold is called fleece hold for a reason
Did lots of reporting about this for NN back in 2021/22. There was some reform. But deeply depressing how little has moved on for so many.

Ground rent cap is good news (though peppercorn would be better straight away). Also welcome is promised abolition of new leasehold properties. Better still would be the outright abolition of leasehold altogether, a feudal anachronism virtually unique to England and Wales.
Way to go Gavin!
Same in the UK, probably getting worse with the disappearance of ‘intellectual’ Tories & Reform’s glorification of pig ignorance. I never know how to articulate this without making the problem worse! (As demonstrated above.)
@pierrenovellie.bsky.social @thenewsatglenn.bsky.social this tickled me 😂
The true heroes of any Trump presidency have to be the simultaneous translators.
