    Is this not just another example about the stupidity of "WOKE" ideology. The Woke brigade take exception to the Norway football world cup squad being photographed as Vikings, about to board a Viking Long Boat. They have been branded, by the WOKE as being Neo Nazis. Have to no knowledge of the proud history of Norway and its Viking heritage 100's of years before any Nazis.. Erling Haaland and his Norway team-mates under fire for their remarkable 'Viking' World Cup squad photoshoot - as critics call it 'chauvinistic' and link it to neo-Nazis | Daily Mail Online It appears that Woke is not only in Policing but being adopted, by idiots, for idiots with no knowledge of basic h…

    https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cj98egkl7l1o The British government has not given permission for the US to use UK military bases to support potential US strikes on Iran, the BBC understands. Good. We should not be playing any part in Trump's war against the Iranian people.

    These Auditors has they call themselves, I have watched some on you tube, I watch with amazement, how businesses and security and even police officers turn these video into cash cows. It would help if they knew the subject, and law they talking about, and it very clear in most cases they just don’t. The only reason these videos get views, is solely because of these people making themselves look silly. These would all stop if these interactions stopped, because videos would get no views, no views, no income no more interest.

    So the PM wanted to hold back information on the Mandelson issue, but MP on both sides wouldn’t allow him to get away with it. Than to his rescue comes the Met police, and hand him away out.

    https://reclaimthenet.org/ireland-digital-id-app-social-media-access-data-breach-concerns Ireland’s government is preparing to require citizens to use a state-controlled “digital wallet” app to access social media platforms and adult websites, even as its own departments continue to suffer repeated data breaches. We are getting closer and closer to the Panopticon, the Home Secretary has even literally said she wants a system like that where 'the eyes of the state can be on you at all times'. But then a lot of people genuinely don't seem to mind. Everywhere I go, I see people wearing smartwatches or FitBits, which are one of the worst things for spying on you min…

    I thought when it came to antisemitism we had reached a limit, but no, West Midlands police step forward with Jewish fans not allowed at football match, wow. I don’t normally call for people to be sacked, but the senior officer that thought this is acceptable should be sacked, today.

    https://news.sky.com/story/doctors-warn-of-horrific-impact-of-tech-and-devices-on-young-peoples-health-13495803 Doctors and medical experts have warned of the growing evidence of "health harms" from tech and devices on children and young people in the UK. I don't know about screen time itself, but I've always thought that social media in particular is quite harmful to peoples mental well being. Being constantly online in a state of anticipation waiting for new updates, comparing yourself to other people, putting on a sort of 'polished' image of your life and having to maintain that image long term. I don't think it's natural.
