  • If people over 18 can buy it then that’s fine. I do think under 18 is too young for cigs. Way to ruin your lungs. Though I am wary of how totalitarian the UK is becoming especially for young people - no phones, no social media. Prohibition and banning people turns us into North Korea, China, and Russia. It’s a fine line to cross. However, we definitely do need tighter regulations for certain things. But I think the gov is diving in head first instead of finding a more nuanced approach with things. This feels more like it’s about control and policing society rather than making a healthy and happier society.




















  • Well the BBC is technically forcing us to watch it. Many people don’t watch TV at all but constantly receive threatening letters complaigning that we are not paying for a TV License that we don’t use. They want every single household to have a TV and a license even if we don’t watch the BBC. So that is a big problem with a forced narrative from the BBC. I do agree that they do a lot of things well but it’s often too little too late. However, my main issue is not the quality of state controlled media or the ethical problems with that but rather the fact that they keep forcing us to pay for it. Even if we don’t use it.
