It is a cultural thing....the majority of children in the world don't have unfettered access to the internet.
I find it difficult to understand how Braverman and Patel seek to appeal to a section of society that would want to ‘send them back home’. They are definitely turkeys praying for Xmas.
about slowing down cars, as a canadian that lived in canada, germany, paris and england, i can tell you what the issue is for the speed in england: I honestly don’t think its speed. but i’ve never felt more in danger and almost getting hit anywhere else but london! i have experienced that in britain the cars act as they own the road and minding the pedestrians are not part of learning how to drive. in other countries regardless of the speed limit, cars are always at the lookout for pedestrians, in other words, the law is pedestrian always is the priority to be kept safe, doesn’t matter if it’s a cross walk or not. so the cars look and slow down as soon as they see someone ahead, regardless of their speed. in london i have not seen cars slowing down when they see pedestrians, it seems it is not part of their trainings and i honestly think this is a fundamental issue in driving in britain not what kind of car or speed. as a canadian not once i felt scared to cross the road all the years i lived there but london, i feel scared every time i cross the road even if there is a cross walk and almost got hit once. cars need to change their attitude or the laws need to change.
That lovely lady fighting for clean air - we all need clean air - bless you for trying.
SUV owner speaking. We should do something to limit their use in cities and also to limit and price the use of cars.
Why?
Why buy one ?
@@stephenmurray8559 Why?
1. Less cars opens up the streets and roads for service &/ emergency vehicles.
2. Makes the street safer.
3. Safe the city land area, cars are space inefficient.
4. Safe the city from road upkeep, sidewalks, cycling path, and rails cost less in maintenance.
5. Cars are less sustainable (EVs included) due to the economic model, and how they're made.
6. Makes the air cleaner, and quieter.
@@hukama6911 Makes the air cleaner? I've never once struggled to breathe. Are you even conscious of how clean the air is you inhale.
Second it decimates the local economy. People just drive to shops elsewhere.
As for maintenance, that's why we pay billions in road tax. And nobody rides bikes. Why can't they build cycle paths at the side of the road.
@@rayg4360 because people have the freedom to enjoy the fruits of their labour. Go to work then treat yourself to nice things.
I was saddened listening to the callers describe the ways in which social media has destroyed their child's life. I certainly agree with the thinking that there should be regulation at source, just as there is with cigarettes and alcohol, to help combat this issue. However, where is the digital citizenship education for students, parents, educators etc.....? Digital citizenship won't solve the problem, but it will give teenagers and their parents a head start at the very least!!!
Switch the broadband off and don't pay the phone bill That will cut things down quickly. Wont totally eliminate it though, and yes Tantrums plus would happen.
Must be pretty hard being a kiid [sic] today. Things were a lot simpler, back in the day. (52yo)
Live on less than you make
Bullying it seems is still not dealt with sufficiently in schools and yes I do think probably many schools have got so many other things to think about and are overwhelmed with the amount of issues kids might have from poverty to mental health and then on top of that trying to educated them.Funds need to be in place for mental health and welllbeing and also more means to deal with bullying,talking about bullying and how to deal with it and why people choose to do it and what it looks like etc.
There needs to be funds put in place for that emotional and psychological care and wellbeing because in the end it will help with educational achievement and also long term health outcomes and so many other things.
They have to invest more in the kids whilst they are young and can learn coping skills and about mental health and to recognise when they need help.
Social media is a cesspool. I disabled all of it over 3 years ago and do not miss it.
I was on FB for about six months in 2009, and then stopped using it. (You can't delete it, AFAIK). But... YT is a form of SM. 🙂
@@user-kx2pb1ns3w Ta. I will try to remember my password and have another go. I logged on a decade ago when someone tried to hack it, but haven't checked since. I still occasionally get "confirm password change" messages so I guess there are hackers still trying to do it, either manually or automated. Thanks again for the advice. 🙂
And yet here you are on CZcams!
@@Thomas15 This isn't really social media, but here you are to represent the cesspool, thanks
@@Thomas15😂😂😂
Is controlling social media really as difficult as people make out? I will give you a clue, work places do it every day.
I see where you're coming from and I understand the argument you're making but unfortunately it's a different kettle of fish.
Not necessarily the control element; by that I mean the actual physical limitations of it through a network admin; but more the social element and the impact against it counter arguments will have.
Whilst I agree a phone for children is absolutely the best case argument, the fundamentals outside of that are very difficult to control.
Still, I suspect this argument means a lot to you so please don't consider this me just shooting it down, I want to reiterate that I wholly agree with the goal I just think the route should be different.
The guy who talked about parking, I'll add that on my estate everyone parks in the way of the emergency services gate despite it being a yellow box
2:16:43 "...if you can't prove something, then it shouldn't be a factor at all in assessing asylum seeker status..."
The caller is 100% right. If a claim can not be proven or falsified then the claim is unsound, it is thus unreasonable to determine the veracity of an asylum claim based on it.
Everything he said in response, unbeknownst to james, actually proves her point. For example, james cites the unfairness of the Spanish inquisition and the Salem witch trials. They were based on unfalsifiable claims that the caller said ought not be part of asylum assessment. She rightly believes (like the courts) that evidence ought be testable, or to put it another way, falsifiable.
The caller is correct, james is wrong, he owes her an apology.
There is absolutely a technological solution to social media.
Parents are responsible, responsible for electing people who will legislate change.
Canary in the mine...
My Dad was an early adopter of technology, we were the first family I knew with a computer at home, and then a dial 14.4k modem... BBS systems, later Compusere, Usenet whatever.
12 year old me saw things on the early days of the internet no kid should see, and I'm talking about in the 90s.
I can't imagine being a parent now, trying to work this out.
”Barely any websites”? There were plenty, and it was all unregulated and unrestricted. I think Gore was one of them that I clicked and immediately regretted it. I still remember what I saw, and that was nearly 30 years ago.
Parents should use at least some basic tools to monitor at least some of their activities.
I do some but certainly not enough.
1:47:22 yes but looking after them doesn't mean taking them all in. Encourage them to fight for their country in their country like our ancestors did.
Ask the people who make things like smartphones and social media sites whether they let their kids use these things.
I only watch for James....😊
How mainstream media can even still be so popular and so important beggars belief when compared to the quality of journalism, commentary, clarity and insights provided here!
i love the pork idea who would not like to be forced fed a bacon sandwich not least you james.
Totally agree re the SUV issue. France ( where I live) is quite progressive in it's cities. My son works and lives in Lyon and there are countless improvements going on to make the city a better place. There is also the Crittair system.
Rather than banning, why don't educate. Why don't we also provide support for teenagers?
I think we all know a few adults who could benefit from a social media ban with all the nonsense they do.
6:34 i mean yes .. but also ideal just banned altogether lol at least until rules and regs can be put in place to make them act responably
"Did you buy it because you want the neighbours to think you're doing better than you really are?" - Yes, yes that is exactly why they buy them.
Of course ancestral heritage should dictate superior rights to some degree.
That’s horrific what happened to that first caller and his daughter. I’d have ended up in jail or a confessional.
The government could just make it illegal for companies to release social media apps in this country (besides CZcams which isn't really the same anyway). Not about punishing users but about undoing all the exploitation and corruption of the population by these companies.
The issue I have with the 20 mph speed limit isn't actually about the speed. It's about the pollution. ICE cars travelling at 20 mph pump out significantly more pollution than at 30 mph. It's due to the gearing and also the increased time it takes to travel a distance put together. All cars built in this country were built to travel at 30 mph very efficiently due to, ironically, emissions laws. It may save 6 people's lives a year in pedestrian collisions, but I believe the increase in pollution could potentially cause more damage to health.
Oh you sweet sweet summer child realy think you need TOR (aka the dark web) to find that stuff. 😅 There is a hole 'artform' called creepypasta here on CZcams for example.
Chuckie 3rd, Like buses you wait ages for a Coronation to come along then......... Could this be the Lizz Truss style Monarchy ?
1:18:45 can confeirm .. i drive a scooters and when im on that coming to a round about i make sheep look calm and inattentive lol
Being a christian is just believing that Jesus died for you, no works needed (So I am told )
With James challenging Facebook /Social media it is daunting to see him tackling with Republicanism.
...also SUV's need to be banned or just for use if you are a builder/farmer etc and need a large vehicle for transporting equipment or off road,they were not meant or intended for use in cities and towns and our roads are not designed for them.They are intimidating and we need to start developing cities that are pedestrian centred and for small car use,cyclists etc.People with families of 5 managed perfectly well with your average ford fiesta type car or hatch back and they are completely unnecessary and give the person in the SUV a complete sense of power because they are higher up,take up more space and are bigger coming towards you leaving you feel like you have to give way even if it is their time to give way
If U.S goes to medicare for all will we not get primary care?
??????? Are you talking about americans in america when you say we?
I agree whole heartedly. The new height of SUV’s translates to devastation whether thru an individual or vehicular accident. They are also horrendous for the environment… I actually was just told to buy a car by my trusted mechanic. The only reason I would look at an SUV, is because as the shortest person in my family at 6’0” (US) and I drive my family given their age. Everyone is 6’0” thru 7’0” in the family. I want sedans to do a better job of accommodating taller people.
That's not true. Suvs perform better against VRUs (technical term for pedestrians) in crashes. 5 of the highest scoring cars for likelihood of survival in an impact involving pedestrians are SUVs. Lexus always tends to come out on top along with volvo.
@@stephenmurray8559yet they still are involved in overproportinal more deadly accidents with pedestrians. So ether A. The tests where fluke or B. The drivers are overwhelmingly aholes. If A your statement becomes useless, if B we should do everything possible to punish them.
@@blub5117 They aren't involved in more fatalities. Where is your data. All the data I've seen shows the opposite. For the UK it's difficult as they record by car type as in taxi, car, motorbike, light goods vehicle etc but not by suv, saloon etc. For the other 15 countries I've looked at the opposite is true and SUVs are safer. Can you help me out with where you got your data? It's strange that this phenomenon only happens in the UK.
In dept: Yes SUVs have additional safety functions and the comparison only shows what happens after they allready hit a pedestrian/ cyclists, their bigger frame and A column more than makes up for that by making accidents more likely and dus leading to a +61% /mile higher chance of deadly accidents if an SUV is involved. You can't ignore reality if comparing differences and only use laboratory data.
@@blub5117 yes but the real danger is going under the car or hitting the windscreen with your head. Going under a car with high clearance is less dangerous surely. And less chance of going over bonnet and impacting the windscreen.
18:04 so sad i hope things get better ❤
You wanna ask people who work in schools and with young people directly. It’s way too late, the horse has bolted.
26:08 oh James asking him if a bit of media attention would help with the school. That's awesome.
20:18 what in gods name were the police doing that was more important than this guys child
As far as big cars or trucks go, 2 reason's I owned, tanks as you call them. First reason, it came in handy as I was an executive at a haulage company. 2nd, I got disabled unfortunately, broken back and neck, I can't get in and out of a normal car, so where does that leave me?
Not sure of your reasoning on the first point you made? To your second point - and I have every sympathy for your condition - you can climb up and down into what is basically a mini monster truck?
50:44 There are exemptions for people with disabilities. So you wouldn't need to worry :)
Why do people buy S U V 's ? Even my G P's have 4! Whilst on cars, it seems that every other driver is texting ! Why?
Is catholicism christainity? It came about 400 years after Christ
2:09:00. Firstly England is the 7th most densely populated country on earth and the countries he listed like Vatican city are tiny.
But like the asylum seeker status has no bearing on the crime - Jenkinsons desires has no bearing on the crime either James.
And still nobody can successfully explain to me how the home office can safely process an undocumented person. Feel free to explain to me if you can ??????
@@user-kx2pb1ns3w
So why do the left mostly support undocumented people being granted asylum ?????
So would you fully support deporting any person arriving without documentation immediately ?
@@terrysmith5168Try doing that Terry.
Without documentation, it is very difficult with the vast number of nationalities.
You simply can't confirm the person's identity and therefore the country is under no obligation to accept them.
Do you think that any person who can't substantiate their identity is inherently dangerous?
Maybe there's another side to the social media story. I just want to share this, although I understand that positives are perhaps more rare than negatives. When our daughter was fifteen she had been so badly bullied at school that we had to take her out of it and home-school her for a year. She had long suffered from anxiety and depression and found it extremely difficult to find friends and even more difficult to keep them once she had. Social interactions were almost impossible for her, not least because of her anxiety and also because we live in a remote rural area. She became suicidal and then, when she was at her lowest ebb, she discovered online communities of people who shared her interests and concerns. She Facetimed so much with people from the US, Ireland and the UK they became her friends, talking her through her situation, sharing teenaged things with her at a safe distance so that she didn't get hurt so often. She formed bonds that continue to this day and it was the start of a journey back to society for her. She is back at school (she's 18 now) and doing well, she has friends and is in a long-term relationship and getting official support for her mental health problems. If it wasn't for social media, I strongly believe that she wouldn't be here.
Why not bring in lower speeds for large SUVs? so in a 30mph make SUVs do 15mph, and in a 20mph just 5-10mph, this will get a massive change fast!
Why do any of this at all? SUVs are no more likely to injure you. Of the top ten cars for VRU ratings (vulnerable road users - the technical term for pedestrian safety) SUVs make up half of the safest cars. Why do you want cars that are safest for pedestrians to go slower?
I like the idea. I do wonder though if car manufacturers will build vehicles to be a tiny fraction outside the criteria that includes SUVs. Further for those people that have larger (particularly taller) vehicle due to mobility issues (they can be easier to step into rather than down into) are you discriminating against them. Generally though I like your base premis as it approaches the subject from an angle that alleviates some of the issues (such as collision safety) without outright denial
@@JopardBDS why do you like the idea. They aren't more dangerous?
They are more dangerous to both pedestrians and more conventional height vehicles. Regards pedestrians I refer you to the caller whose wife suffered severe injuries from a very low speed incident. Generally pedestrians are more likely to go under high vehicles rather than roll onto bonnet of low ones. With vehicles an SUV's collision protection generally sits higher than similar parts of regular height vehicle so is more likely to intrude into the passenger compartment of the lower vehicle in a collision (or worse drive over which crushes the lower and rolls the SUV). I do wish to make one last point. There are very few entirely poor cars out there but almost every one can be a poor choice depending on the intended uses
Anonymity on social media is not acceptable. If you have something to say you need to put your money where your mouth is as they say.
Please tell me when we lost the ability to turn off something instead of having to be watched over
Every time they do this it just destroys business in the area and people simply shop elsewhere.
Weird James you say you don’t dislike people who drive suvs but you are insinuating such unkind things about them and so sure you know everything about them and their personality traits. Odd…..
