David Frost: We Should Happy To Be Air Strip One

A fella I used to work with was an SAS reservist, killed in Afghanistan. He didn’t “stay back a little”, did he! Trump can utterly go fuck himself. Hard.

I get that in the face of such a horrific thing, people will find a focus and a blame. That’s human. But it just utterly misses the point.

It’s also not social media in itself that’s the issue, someone else said this earlier - it’s the algorithms. Which means it’s the arsehole humans behind it that is the problem. Always the arsehole humans. I hope the consultation shows it’s a daft idea. Also, social media didn’t murder Brianna Ghey

My concern with a ban is what happens when they turn 16? “Protecting children” means also arming them with the tools they need. Proper, decent media literacy as part of the national curriculum, age appropriate. And adults need media literacy training as well.

We had a phone on every other floor, and they were put in part way through the year. Had to leg it downstairs, knock on a door to see if someone was in!

Ah, maybe this is why I’ve not been able to actually do anything with my literature review edits until a specific book arrived (it has today), even though I have plenty of other literature to be going on with!

I remember this being done, with a broadsheet - whichever one had the really good crossword.
