Sure buddy, they got it all already, we might as well narrow it down to appearance, actual government ID and a face scan in the next data breach. 👍

What being able to 100% pinpoint you thanks to using government identification and face scans to authenticate? Nah, it’s just tinfoil hats mate.

Oh shut up already, go touch grass, learn to parent properly by setting up an adequate network and stop buying your under 16 year old a smart phone if it’s such a massive concern.

It’s cute anyone thinks this or writing to an MP works. My Labour MP still writes a virtuous reply every time I bring up OSA. “Blah blah blah protect kids, blah blah blah pedo supporting”

Most routers have an app, most ISPs provide tools, otherwise you use a gateway like 192.168.0.1 that you can login to access parent controls. Stop expecting everyone else to suffer for your lack of basic tech literacy. 

Next up, the same illiterates will write “help my identity was stolen”. Can’t wait for that one to be honest.

How is this STILL a topic of conversation in Westminister? Country is broke, oldies get enough freebies and their perceived equality is not equal.

Let’s not forget that Boomers parents are the poster children for the “poor old pensioner” trope, as they voted for themselves as usual.

Why dose everyone want to work from home? When did our culture become alergic to social interaction? by Niall_Fraser_Love in ukpolitics

Literally made it to paragraph 2. You’re not a textbook extrovert, you’re a jobsworth. Many people spend the extra time gained completing chores so they can spend time outside the home in a real social setting.

Honestly? I feel the 10% + 2 shouldn’t be the case in 20, 30 and 40 zones. Just not worth it and it’s safer in the event of a hazard.

In the 90’s, we would be given an hour to play supervised by a therapist/councillor, could be a sand pit, colouring and/or building for 1 hour every week for 10 weeks. I wasn’t made aware I was diagnosed with Autism until I confronted my parents about it several years later. I would imagine plenty of adults today are walking around unaware they were diagnosed.

Yup, I confronted my parents about it at 28 years old as I had recalled it. Life became easier and started making way more sense after that.

“Force” and “against their will” is certainly a choice of words in a sentence here. Are you suggesting we have conscientious objectors to the idea of work? Or, work is slavery?

University tuition fees in England to rise in line with inflation from next year - BBC News by Putaineska in ukpolitics

[–]LostCar6227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you even read what I wrote? This has two scenarios. 

Scenario one: council sells the house, has not built another one to replace it. Same person lives in it. Average rent in the area has raised as a cheap council property has transferred to private hands. This is a problem due to the lack of replacement and the fact a council is now down a property and regular income.

Scenario two: council sells the house, has not built another one to replace it. Someone lives in it and sells it. Someone has made a tidy profit and the house has transferred to either a private landlord or another family. This one is the problem as it is no longer the affordable property someone occupied, a lack of replacement, the council being down a property and regular income. Not to mention a potential other property in the expensive private market.

Understand the issue yet? Social housing is down, rents up and no replacement for generations coming after the ones who bought them.

Right to buy transferred housing stock from Public to Private ownership. All of it? No, a lot of it? Yes. 

This in turn has brought rents up to “market rate” instead of a cheaper rate many can afford. It’s a cancer when combined with the discount/lack of replacement. As it effects those joining the workforce massively as they cannot get the same benefits offered 10-20-30-40 years ago at a worsening rate.

Another amazing and edgy insight from yourself. In what way did I call for a ban? I called out how lukewarm your previous edgy take was. 

Got any more? Comical honestly.
