Bye bye Starmer

I think what gets lost a lot in this debate is the addictiveness of social media and phone use - there's so much more focus on the nature of the content itself. Both are equally important, especially given that addictiveness can shape their developing brains.

"It's good to be bored"

Interesting to see what developmental impact comes from constant stimulation. Spent half you life as a child of the 80s/90s being bored and waiting for things - TV show to start, game to download, car journey to end, your mates to walk to the park. Not anymore for many.

As I said the other day, prohibition doesn’t work

it works pretty well for kids. i don't see too many alcoholic 10 year olds thankfully. i expect the fact they’re banned from having alcohol probably helps that stat.

True but this proposed legislation is supposed to cover everyone up to 18ish.

How many 15 year olds do you think have had a drink?
