Topical sensitive content warning on this link [Link] Three men shown helping a Brazilian lady do a form of bungee/bridge-jump. All now under arrest as you notice them notice that they forgot to attach the rope. She did not survive.

I think Twitter has all the pedos Spit - one of them even owns it….

Maybe that young 5 year old getting dragged screaming by the old bill into a police car at the weekend was part of the crack down

Read something which reckons circa 60% of Aussie teens have circumvented the ban there.

Is wup on the list,lot of strange people on it:-)

Nanny state,parents should have the choice for their children ,youtube ban is ridiculous

OI - YouTube can be useful for revision etc, but is also full of awful stuff kids should never see. The useful revision and good entertainment can be placed on actual proper channels and websites such as Bitesize or whatever…

Preston - if the content providers could be bothered to put sufficiently strong safeguards in place and remove the offensive content, then keeping children safe from being exposed to such content would be far less of an issue that required legislating for… So many parents have no clue what their children are seeing (endless scrolling through violence and wholly age inappropriate sexualised content), so blaming them doesn’t work, that’s just gaslighting. Ofcom won’t regulate them, someone had to - kids can get hold of alcohol if they really want to, but that’s not a reason to bin off an age limit on buying booze….

youtube seems odd though I suppose there is bad stuff on there somewhere. It is used a lot for sports broadcasting etc.

A4E- surely the problem is the websites being banned?

I’d forgotten Graham Potter is manager of Sweden - they thrashed Tunisia last night.

REPD - there will obviously be loopholes, but people suggesting kids should use these loopholes rather than stay away from harmful content should ask themselves whether they’d prefer legislation to keep our children safer or not - we mustn’t let perfect be the enemy of the good, and the overwhelming majority of parents, teachers, social and mental health workers will be celebrating this news for sure :)

A4E - kids will have found at least five loopholes by the time that gets implemented...

RIP Roger Cook [Link] as well as Hattersley obvs…

Hash - heard he scored 104 goals in one season for Bedlington Terriers reserves when he was 17.

Absolutely brilliant ban on social media for under-16s, starting early 2027 - they’d better not u-turn on this, it’s a fabulous move, and parents across the entire country will welcome it and will enjoy their children’s company so much more!! I wonder whether anyone at all will find negatives to this (other than the very obvious idea that some children will find ways around it, which of course is one of the reasons why it’s not in place until early next year - gives them a chance to close as many of the loopholes as they can…)…

Rob, apparently his name is N. Ogoaks.

Morning all. Happy Transfer Window Opening day

15 years ago today Danny Kedwell announced he was leaving to join Gills.

Japan & Sth Korea look good. Getting bleary eyed watch 2nd half Sweden game but some nice goals. First of the big four Spain enter later today. Also NZ v Iran 2am will be interesting

Rock Radio. Into the nineties, and beyond.

Thought Japan did well tonight and deserved their point for playing the game with intent versus The Netherlands’ approach of passing the ball until someone gets fed up.

RIP Roy Hattersley

Tough group Netherlands and Japan are in. Sweden and Tunisia aren't shabby. Could be a good 3rd place team to avoid.
