It’s all a bit sterile for my liking and I’m not convinced it won’t be used to fuck City over, we’ve already had experience of this in the Chumps League.

It was that bright spark ref, changing the rules, possibly not knowing he was destroying instead of enhancing the game.
I'd love it, if it was Collina.
It was not Collina, and it was not a bright spark ref.
The law changes are agreed and recommended by IFAB - an 8 person team of which the UK have 4 of the seats (and have had this many or more all the time). It's pretty much on us!
They were decided in March (I think) and came into force on 1 June.

Considering the handball/penalty incidents, can someone explain what a natural silhouette is for someone running/lunging/blocking during sport?

NoVAR has increased the accuracy of decision from 92.5% to 98.1%. in womans world cup which is similar to Mens world cup.
This means a major decision will is missed in two more games a season without VAR than with it. Not every major decision mistake made ends up being match changing.
The question for every one is ... is that improvement worth the shit that comes with VAR?

The law change on handball is nothing more than a decision to take any blame for a wrong decision away from the official its that simple and rather than improve ref standards they have decided to just say if it hits your hand its a penalty.
Its farcical.

I don't agree that that is the reason, but i don't think the new wording is especially helpful, other than the part for ball-off-hand in attack.
We'll see how this 'natural silhouette' waffle plays out, but it's not been great so far. Rose vs City maybe; Scotland vs England - marginal touch, but the arms was out; Japan vs Scotland - not given at all; Japan vs Neth - looked harsh to me.
Kick the ball at the arm is going to be rife (as is kicking the ball at the ref to get a dropball) and I think it needs some more work/clarification.

The natural or unnatural silhouette waffle is just that, waffle and is meaningless.
To take away any flak from the ref they have just decided that if it hits the hand/arm or even shoulder looking at some decisions so far its a penalty.

That may be. But some 'bright spark' in that 8 man team came up with the idea, whether it was an English ref or not.It was not Collina, and it was not a bright spark ref.

Also, if the rule only came in force on the 1st June, Why have VAR been giving those stupid handballs in the CL for most of the year?

Because they are making it up as they go along, distorting competition with sudden law changes in bringing in and then also changing the way its implemented during competition.
Its completely unfair on clubs and players as what costs/benefits a side in one game suddenly reverses in another.

The biggest thing for me is trying to get footballers to learn how to run and play football with their arms behind their backs.Because they are making it up as they go along, distorting competition with sudden law changes in bringing in and then also changing the way its implemented during competition.

Sheer Stupidity, never mind clever arsed forwards trying to kick the ball at their arms!
