What is the sign for something being ‘clearly the truth’? Adults struggle with this so I’m not sure how jr. is supposed to work it out. 5 minutes ago, janner said: Presumably there is an internet version of John Craven's newsround or similar that parents can trust to not be a subversive influence on developing young minds, You think subversive is a pejorative term?

Seriously . The age of enlistment in the UK is 16, I would think it is better they can see it on Social Media, than experience it for real.

Absolutely. The sanitised version on Youtube is nothing compared to the reality of war, or even a Friday night out in the spicier areas of town.

Mull that over. These days he's telling us how racist the countryside is. Although, when I was in Newsround's demographic, Craven had handed over to Krishnan Guru-Murthy. Who now presents on Channel 4 news, that well known bastion of unbiase....nope sorry couldn't even finish typing that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
