...Parliament needs to remind the judiciary that it is the Sovereign entity in this country, one way or another...I agree with you but I don't think it wants to.
MPs are a bit weird. They want to do good, which is not the function of a MP. That whole "invigilating legislation and holding Government to account" seems to pass them by.

Did you tell her it was your party that introduced the OSA?Good morningIt does stop young children accidentally viewing pornographic or violent images thoughYes, that is the paradox. Most (except perhaps a few free speech zealots) want to protect children from harmful content on the interwebs.Labour Party on X -Families in marginal seats, 69% of voters back age verification to access adult websites
"Nigel Farage would put women and girls at risk.
NIGEL FARAGE WANTS TO MAKE IT EASIER TO SHARE REVENGE PORN ONLINE"
I presume this is about the OSA, so the inference is that anyone who opposes the OSA wants to make it easier to share revenge porn
Who does the Labour Party think is stupid enough to believe this, even if only about Farage?
https://yougov.co.uk/technology/articles/52693-how-have-britons-reacted-to-age-verification
Most experts are agreed that the OSA is stupid, counterproductive, easily worked around, dangerous and increases risks.
Nor is there any obvious connection with the three main cases thrown up by OSA's increasingly desperate defenders. Jimmy Savile assaulted girls in the flesh, not online. Peter Kyle's concern about the genuine risk of grooming in online forums has nothing to do with porn sites or age verification. And now revenge porn which was banned 10 years ago.
No it doesn't as I explained a few days ago
Our granddaughter (22) uses VPN as does most if not all of her peers, and our grandson (16) knows about vpn and he confirmed every child in his school to the very youngsest knows how to avoid age verification, not just with vpn but using fake facial id
It is naive to think young children cannot get round this - indeed their older brother and sisters will help them
We are living in an age where young people and children are very tec savvy

Yes, I find relying on interpretations from others is better than actually reading things. So much quicker and requires less thought.JK Rowling wrote a long review, so the rest of us don’t have to actually read the book.I wrote on the previous thread how much I was enjoying the audiobook of Nicola Sturgeon titled 'Frankly'. Turbotubbs repliedAs someone pointed out elsewhere, all six recommendations on the back cover are from people who don't live in Scotland. Apparently she's easy to like from a distance.
"I'm amazed she recalls enough to write an essay, let alone a book. A mendacious, devious liar who tried to frame Alec Salmond, played politics over COVID and is married to a man charged with embezzling money from the party she led. Someone who believes men in a dress ought to be in a woman's prison because of them saying they are a woman"
All I can say knowing less about her than you obviously do is that I've always been a fan and this book hasn't changed that. I've long admired her values and her loathing of racism and prejudice which is evident throughout the book and was in all her appearances. Scottish politics is clearly a bear pit and how she managed to navigate it has to be admired and respected. I have to say despite her tough gal exterior I find it quite moving and for anyone wanting to know more about Scottish politics I can't think of a better place to start
Here's a counterpoint from The Times:

I will do what it takes to uphold the law and ensure fairness for the British people.

@SkyNewsIs that a good thing? Is this a Z/T meeting or a meeting at which Z/T are among the participants?
BREAKING: France's president Emmanuel Macron and Finnish president Alexander Stubb are the latest European leaders to say they will attend Zelenskyy and Trump's meeting

Other countries manage it even though they’re signatories to the ECHR etc. Parliament needs to remind the judiciary that it is the Sovereign entity in this country, one way or another.StarmerBot has woken up again.He is making himself a hostage to fortune with this stuff that he knows he can't deliver unless he intends to exit all these international treaties, rewrite UK law and solve the NI / GFA issue that will arise, and all in the next year or two.
