Why do the trash press love Israel. I know they want to trash Starmerat every opportunity. His statement is hardly supproting Hamas – and anyway Israeli actions are doing more to support Hamas than anyone! Even Trump did not object to the statement made by Starmer – I would object though – why wait – just take a lead and recognise the Palestinian state; like 140 other members of the UN.
Peter Kyle – do not apologise to Farage. Reform said it would repeal the Online Safety Act as ‘measures intended to push social media companies to limit false nd potentially harmful content would make the UK a borderline dystopian state. Yesterdays post regarding domestic abuse should mean that pornography should only be available with a credit card – Nigel should pay to have a wank! maybe Kyle should paraphrase Manny Skinner – not all Reform MP’s are complete wankers – all of the time – just most. I am not sure the Act goes far enough – but it is a start. Australia and its government that is not renowned for its Liberal tendencies has added YouTube accounts, along with Facebook, Instagram, TikTok , Snapchat and X are all restricted for under 16 year olds ; with fines upto 49.5 million if they fail to take proper precautions to prevent access by children. These, and porn sites make millioons in profit, exploit women (and men) and whilst measures should have been taken long ago, better late than never. it is also more urgent with the ability of AI to replicate porn with childrens images (as has already happened). The perpetrators and the companies must be held responsible. the harm to society as revealed yesterday is beyond comprehension.
I am not calling for censorship of images – however I thought the country had moved on from Page 3 in the Sun and Star. However male desires defy logic. No sensible male would want his daughter to become a prostitute of pornographers model – Incel aside. Perhaps we should go further and make te tech companies responsible for repeated lies – I am thinking about false information – AI should be able to identify repeated false info like during the Brexit campaign?
I will also admit to buying Playboy (with wifes consent/encouragement) and appreciating Page 3 models -but anything that dehumanises women should be banned! As with all censorship the difficulty is where to draw the line! – mid-century censorship was OTT. But I am sure something better than a free for all, and Nigel wanking over schoolgirls, is preferable to nothing!
