Indeed, but the law here is the law, the fact being naked and sexual are NOT the same thing. Law does not account for that.

Understandable, yesterday on BBC News we had a report on the Ukraine peace talks, another report from Gaza, more election news but most of the news was about the football.

If you don't't vote you can't complain about the outcome, every vote is important
Even if people think it is not worth voting.

Perhaps we need to follow the US model, hold elections ever 4 years in the same month.
People then know where they stand as to when an election will take place.

Adult sites don't block content, a lot of them seem to simply have 2 buttons on saying over 18 and the other saying under 18, the onus is then on the site visitor to click truthfully.
Age Verification opens up a whole stack of privacy issues, not to mention all that ID info stored on a server makes it a prime target for criminals wanting to steal information they can use for ID theft.
Also who else has access to that information.
Education works to a point IF the people sitting in the class want to be taught and want to learn and discuss the subject matter.

The current strategy is not working properly anyway, so I agree, just makes it much harder.for everyone.
The government are out of ideas

The idea of the prevent strategy is to try and intervene early, at one of the schools I worked at, we were told to report a child who was just pretending to be a suicide bomber. Childrens play is partly influenced by the world around them.
I have also undertaken prevent training, so another example is a person exclded from their peer group (which can happen) they feel worthless or unwanted, so are vulnerable to being drawn in to other groups, made to feel they are worth something and those people are the ones who help isolate from friends further and draw them in to another group of friends. The danger is when what they then get involved in puts them at risk of harm or puts others at risk.
The prevent / channel process is designed to help redirect people to more positive activities (which of course the government has now cut youth services dramatically).
The problem is there is a huge divide between exploring a topic and taking violent action.
When, in 2003 the UK and USA illegally invaded iraq, there were protests by pupils (who objected to the invasion) in schools, some schools clamped down on this, other schools sat down and had discussions with the pupils about the subject.l

If they put them on the ballot paper as 'none of the above' they will get my vote. I would rater not have another 4 years of the sort of nonsense we are getting.
Behaviour in schools is getting worse, behaviour in society is getting worse, Someone needs to get a grip and take tough action Parents don't want to be bothered with anything regarding actually raising their kids.

In the UK we put the £ symbol first too, e.g £00, but I think in Europe they would write 100 euro (with the euro symbol, which I don't have on my keyboard.

Why do humans need to create AI to solve problems, when the AI requires the humans to collect data to feed in to the AI in the first place.
At one time we just analyzed the data ourselves.

Well it is 14 months until 2025, the UK government HAVE to call a general election within that timne frame, so with any luck, they will be voted out.
The UK government is a law unto itself and getting worse.
Roll on PMQs so questions can be asked of the PM as to what is going on.

If Musk is no longer the CEO we should go after the current CEO, I can't remember her name, but she can be held accountable, and don't take the excuse MUSK is still pulling strings when SHE is the CEO she should tell musk where to go.

There was a post on LinkedIn ages ago about school behaviour, I replied and suggeted students should watch Prime Ministers Questions (PMQ) and follow the example set my MPs... I then put however that would it would turn them in to a total rabble.
Saying that I think school students SHOULD be allowed to watch these things as it would be a good indication on how politics works, only it is currently just embarrasing how the MPs behave.
Same goes for watching the ending of trials on TV and the just giving closing remarks / sentancing.
Would be good for anyone at school wanting to go in to various public services (such as the police) to see how the judicial system works.
May help people connect better with the system, which is never going to be a bad thing.

What our speaker needs is a supply of old fashioned black board rubbers (erasers), so he can thrown them at the MPs who jeer and interupt people when speaking, unfortuantly for them, they are the ones who sit well within the distance to be clouted pretty hard.
It would save his voice as he keeps having to remind MPs to let people speak so they can get through all the questions.

I agree, I can see the Tories losing the next election but even with a majority for labour, we NEED a strong opposition to hold themk to account, ask the right questions and ensure election promises are kept.
Perhaps one way for them to win, would be for labour to have a presense on fedi, we are building numbers and need to be able to interact and learn what policies they have from social media as in here. They are NOT going to reach potential voters here by being on mainstream social media.
