Think we are in for a year of increased inflation. Looks like a lot of companies will be taking double digit increases in food and drink selling.

I wish you doom merchants would stop forgetting about Brexit.

We are free from the clutches of foreign control and should avoid any issues.

Milk.

Honey.

Serious question for once, and apologies if it's been done another thread. But looking at one football forum today started a dive in the rabbit hole of the Online Safety Act coming into play in a few months.

From Sunderland forum

Unless something changes in the Online Safety Act that is, as it is due to take full effect in March 2025.

RTG despite being relatively small falls foul of the majority of the conditions and continuing to provide the service will simply not be practical with the resources we have (both people and monetary wise).

In a nutshell, we have to do lots of risk assessments before that date, have lots of written procedures in place to deal with them, delete any content which is illegal, but also have a complaints process in place so that anyone who complains about their content being removed has that addressed promptly. We will also have to prevent children accessing the platform and put age verification measures in place and will have to scan uploaded content to check it isn't harmful. There is a whole lot more to it than that but hopefully you get the idea - it will all just be too onerous. The potential fine for not complying is up to £18 million or 10% of company turnover whichever is greater.

A Boro site raises issues though sort of downplays the a bit. So what's the actual thingy going on?

Are we fined £18M if Cheese offers Bolty out by the club shop, Gonzo shows the cover of "A Fistful of Doggers" or an MP gets slagged off?

Do what everyone will do... ignore it.

I still get masses of spam emails despite legislation and websites are becoming more difficult for my old eyes to follow making a mockery of accessibility.

One thing having regulations and legislation, enforcing is another... ask the residents of Grenfel

Whole things aimed at getting kids off social media,

 

Which parents have no issue with them being on anyway, how many kids under 14 have Snapchat,  WhatsApp, Instagram and tiktok.

It's a big list he's doing for you, so it'll take him a while I suspect

In his case, before providing lists it may be advisable to organise tuition on placement of crosses.

He seems to be struggling.

What is that "mate" of mine Sadiq Khan trying to achieve ?

 

You lost you demented little cretin, get over it and concentrate on your job you terrorist sympathiser.

Secured a knighthood.

Thoroughly deserved for such dedication.

[Jol_BWFC]

Sir Sadiq is a true English statesman. Embodies the values of British society. King Charles will be humbled to be in his presence.

Sadiq Khan is a true great though. Only mayor to have been elected for three terms. Increased his majority to boot.

One of the biggest political winners around.

You wait until this info that Miami has about him comes to light, then you'll change your tune!

Father in law is getting an MBE so I'll get him to show Miami's dirt to Charlie when he's down there

Prefer our sadiq to nick buckley, the xenophobic piece of shit

[Spider]

Sadiq seems to upset all the right people.

And he built the Elizabeth line, europes largest infrastructure project.

Crime is down.

And I found a pub near Trafalgar Square this year where it was only £4.75 for a pint.

Deserves two knighthoods that bloke

Crime down in London?

Wow.

Must be another fuck up by one of the stats type departments that has been rectified then, as the figures say not.

I'm all for equal rights but I don't think we should be promoting this kind of thing to children

He's done a lot of work in the north East and they struggle with monolingual stuff so you're not wrong.

I should've asked the mother in law when we were round this afternoon 

[Sweep]

@Casinofavourite lady, Suella Braverman, is on LBC today. 

I've just been listening to her warbling on about how Israel have to continue to defend themselves, and if that involves grabbing more land, then so be it. It also doesn't really matter how many civilians are killed, as whilst it's unfortunate, it's what happens in war

I think she might actually be evil, she's a most unpleasant individual 😉
