Many victims/survivors or child sexual abuse and rape got this letter this week saying their abusers are being assessed to be released after serving just 33% of their sentence. Ive had message after message from people deverstated after recieving it. By the end of this year, 100's or rapists and pedophiles could be released onto our streets. This is how kier starmer plans to tackle VAWG........ by letting more sexualy violent men back onto the streets after serving just a slap on the wrist for some of the worst crimes imaginable

There are posts making claims on X saying: "Breaking the UK government is banning VPN's next month" This is heavily exaggerating and misleading for clicks/engagement. The facts: > Liz Kendall's statement (June 16, 2026): On BBC Breakfast, the Technology Secretary said the government will make further statements in July about VPNs and additional restrictions. This ties into the under-16 social media ban and other child safety measures (e.g., AI chatbots, curfews for 16-17 year olds) > This relates to enforcing a planned ban on under-16s using social media (expected to take effect around spring 2027). The government is concerned children will use VPNs to bypass age verification and safety protections under the Online Safety Act > Focus is on children: Previous consultations and statements explicitly discuss age-restricting or limiting children's access to/use of VPNs where they undermine safety rules, not a ban on VPNs for adults. > No full adult VPN ban: VPNs remain legal in the UK for adults. There is no announcement or plan for a nationwide prohibition on VPN use by the general public. Claims of a total ban are not supported by government statements. > Timeline: July 2026 is for more details/announcements, not the start of any ban or major restrictions. Actual implementation of child safety rules (including any VPN measures) is longer-term > If this did happen it would likely mean you would need to ID yourself to use a VPN, now this would defeat the object and would cause a huge backlash. I'm posting this so we have some clarity on what we do know rather than the scaremongering, if they do go for a full adult ban then that would be different and almost impossible to stop as people would easily get around a so called VPN ban even children would be able to.

Portsmouth University just released ‘Gender Identity Guidance’. It doesn’t mention the Supreme Court or EHRC. In fact, it doesn’t make any reference to protecting women at all. It does, however, mandate preferred pronouns and allow playing sport according to ‘gender identity’.
