My memory of Ian Crichton Smith. The genius poet who taught me English at Sixth Form. We called him, "The Weed".

Two issues that, when weaponised, no matter how gently, or are used to deflect from difficult problems, brook no criticism.

Religious belief.
Serious illness.

An age limit for Social Media?

The Labour government has not ruled out a ban, saying "nothing is off the table" but that any ban must be "based on robust evidence".
