It has to be wondered if our TAX BIG TECH campaign to fund child health has hit a :nerve' overseas? Especially as today's news headline shows that the Trump administration are placing pressure on our government to provide Big Tech with the opposite of tax breaks?

Latest study indicates the benefits of phone bans in schools are not as pronounced as would commonly thought.

Instead, should we think about Vaccinating Social Media?

2024 was warmest year on record. The natural Ups and Downs of CO2 'broke' once we started burning fossil fuels. The amount the seas/plants can absorb is at maximum and wildfires/droughts killing plants mean even more CO2 released.

Out of 10, how concerned are you?

RACISM - I have confronted a post, an echo cavern, in which those commenting are under the delusion this was not linked to 'Race'.

I disagree... vehemently.

How have you tackled RACISM? #BLM #Racism #freespeech #socialmedia

If it was to snow outside of Christmas, the first Sunday of the New Year is enough to bring the inner child SMILE!

Wishing all my connections that you get to enjoy friends and family this year. A lot of struggles for many behind a smile, but if we support each other, we will grow together into a brighter 2025.

Interesting study on effects of Early Childhood Adversity. The cost to the individual, the families, the community, the wider society is huge in all so many ways including financially. A key area for True PREVENTION initiatives. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

An example of Bias... one should not take their studies 'to find what one believes is there', but to find 'what is actually there'.

Your thoughts please on the Public Health pick?

I have met and chatted with Dr Vivek current US Surgeon General, a very fine man. I'm sure Dr Nesheiwat is a great TV doctor, but worried she's only being picked because she was seen on Fox News..

What should we do about this? Tax them, use proceeds for Children's health & wellbeing.

With 3 Ministerial replies, 35 Parliamentarians, 200+ child orgs and almost 25,000 members of the public calling for such a big tech levy.
