Cable Forum - Online Safety Bill Etc

Jusr been on the BBC news that mobile phones are to be banned for children in schools by law in England, so hopefully this will help to curtail bullying (includes both smart & non smart phones.)

Richard, you are so woke!

How on earth will it curtailing bullying?? They can still access their phones outside of school hours. :confused:

The kids will get bored with nothing to do at breaks so playground bullying will resume, just like the olden days when we all had to learn to grow a pair.

Won't stop bullying in the slightest, it will just revert back to how it was years ago, "Oh look at you with your £1 shoes" "oh you don't have (insert brand) clothes" "oh you have a packed lunch how poor are you" and all the other stuff that was used to bully kids.

Again this whole namby pamby attitude is pathetic.

The salient point of this is not to deal with bullying, but to deal with the addictive nature and harm of social media.

What does being 'woke' mean to you?

I think he refers to finding the magic door which leads to the land of the Golden Butterfly, where rainbow Unicorns trot across pleasant green meadows and the sweet silence is only occasionally broken by the brightly coloured Dragons chuckling to themselves as they pass overhead.

. . or something equally as disturbing :erm:
