Libraries have always been at the hub of the community but the ‘Community Hubs’ concept is a cuts based model that often sees other cut services shoe-horned in with libraries. It’s a smokescreen for cuts.

This government is going to try and FORCE EVERYONE to digitally ID verify to get on social media Social media users face passport checks to enforce under-16 ban Ministers seek harder line on ID verification Social media companies will be required to implement “hard checks” on people’s ages such as demanding passports or driving licences under plans to stop children from using their platforms. The government is due to announce plans for a social media ban for under-16s in the coming weeks amid concerns that children are being exposed to harmful content. Tell @andyburnham No! We must all challenge this together No to Digital ID! @Togetherdec

Melancholy this evening. Trying to find the closing words to speak for a place that should not have needed defending. What will the turtle doves, house martins, fieldfares… and cuckoos return to next season, if they return❓ #SaveCotonOrchard ✏️ change.org/p/save-the-green-…

🚨 LABOUR BACKS PLANS TO FORCE EVERY HOUSEHOLD TO PAY THE BBC EVEN WITHOUT A TV! Look at the desperate extortion scheme being cooked up in Westminster to rescue a dying state broadcaster. A parliamentary committee has officially recommended replacing the 180 pound television licence with a compulsory household levy added directly onto your council tax or broadband bill. Under this plan, you will be legally forced to fund the BBC even if you do not own a television set and never watch a single second of their programming. Over half a million households cancelled their licences last year because the British public is sick to death of subsidising state propaganda and biased reporting. In a free market, a failing media company goes bankrupt when customers walk away. Under Andy Burnham and Lisa Nandy, the state simply forces you to pay for it under threat of criminal penalty. Now connect the dots to their wider censorship agenda. Labour is banning young people from social media, setting up a state information defence centre, and forcing internet providers to promote the very broadcaster you are being forced to fund. The BBC has abandoned competing for audiences and has become a mandatory state church funded by an unavoidable poll tax. Retweet this immediately to reject this broadband tax grab and demand the complete defunding of the BBC. 🇬🇧🔥
