@bazzacollins @claire4devizes - Its flawed. Children can't get credit cards therefore they are banned by default.
Have been critical of most of @claire4devizes’ net nannying plans, but this one strikes me as eminently sensiblepic.twitter.com/qBnU2GaG

@MikeHenson Some accept debit card payments, which are available to under 18s -
@bazzacollins - Banks vary from 7 to 16 as min. Simple solution is law making debit cards 16 or 18 -
@MikeHenson Very restrictive on kids for legit purchases though. Shops increasingly moving to cards, not cash. -
@bazzacollins - come on Barry. Show me one shop that doesn't take cash. Cards make it too easy for kids to spend money & get parents in debt -
@MikeHenson Amazon, eBay, iTunes Store, Xbox Live… That’s where the kids are shopping -
@bazzacollins - Responsible parents encourage saving & open a bank account for their child so can give them a debit card & control spend -
@mikehenson Yep, precisely. And what Perry's proposing is banks have to verify age of card holder before they can use adult sites. - 5 more replies

@bazzacollins nah, that means you've got to start identifying yourself to porn sites. Who wants to do that? -
@njkobie you're up early -
@bazzacollins up early and thinking about porn! Any news on your game? -
@njkobie No, waiting anxiously. By the way, the "boys' day out" is now me and Graham, so you're welcome if you want to join us. -
@bazzacollins ha, I'm allowed to come when you've been ditched? :) what time's it on? I do have to do my hair and stuff... -
@bazzacollins might work. Keep me updated on the pitch - that's gotta be the first time I've ever said that. - End of conversation

@bazzacollins what proportion of kids cough up £££ for sites? Won't they just go to the free ones? -
@pjbryant Maybe, but if people are profiting, they shouldn't be profiting from kids. -
@bazzacollins agreed, hadn't looked at it from that side.
