Just google lens the guy, his name Mudar Zahran a Jordanian.

He wants Jordan officially recognised as a Palestine state.

To cut a very long story short, copied this part...

Zahran's stance is highly controversial and is strongly rejected by the Jordanian government and the Jordanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which maintains that Jordan is a sovereign state and that a Palestinian state must be established in the territories occupied by Israel since 1967.

So we only get 1.8% of our oil coming through the Strait of Hormuz.

Interesting considering the price hikes we are expecting to go through.

Oil prices are global.

An oil company drilling in the north sea is going to sell the oil it produces to the highest bidder (more or less) and if an oil refiner/reseller outside of the UK is willing to pay $100 a barrel, the oil company isn't going to say, "You know what, let's sell our oil to a refiner in the UK for $65 a barrel because they are our country mate." That north sea driller is going to sell it for as much as they can.

LA Court has found against Instagram and Youtube for failing to protect against child addiction. Liable against META and Google.

Expect this will see age verification introduced around the world now.

Personally I think it's on the parents, afterall they can only use devices if you are supplying them as a parent, one example case was a six year old.

Down to parents I think to monitor their screen time, by actually interacting with their kids and taking notice of what is going on rather than just ignoring them.

Course it is. **** parents unable to control their **** kids they’ve brought up to be ****. Or using a phone to keep them occupied all day. So we’ll blame the platform for allowing little Jaden to use Instagram for 18 hours a day on his iPad. ****s.

My kids got phones when they got to secondary schools and we also bought a Wii when they were younger ... laptops when they needed them for school like GCSEs, A Levels ... responsibility has to lie with Parents ...

Different tack but read somewhere that a good number of kids are now starting primary school in nappies ffs!

I use to refuse to have the internet when my kids were young, proper scrooge me. <laugh> But they did alright from it and got decent jobs.

My grandson has strictly controlled screen time and my son limits what he can access.

I've heard the nappies one before, how embarrassing for the little ones when their parents haven't trained them. I'm quite an advocate of pre school if parents can afford it, I feel it just gives them such a good headstart.

I should add though that by 13 they had their own Iphones, lpads and computer. But as parents we would look at their homework and aside from helping them also check it was actually done.

I had to go up the school once though, because they were going to suspend my youngest, some kid had decided to pick on my lad and well found out. So I had to go defend his side of the incident and get the suspension threat lifted.

Smooth as ****, @Gessa would have been proud of me. <laugh>

such a shame the Tories scrapped the sure start scheme considering everyone accepted it was a policy that led to much better outcomes for children particularly from those from "problem" families
