Look at the bloody hypocrisy of Reform:

"I'm just contemplating the fact that one moron, one psychotic moron, one capricious idiot, has completely bollocksed up the global economy not only to the detriment of his own people, but the detriment of the planet. ... It's like how much more of this can the planet take?"

Hmm.. but he's actually also clearly VERY ignorant.

You can go back 23 years and find him talking about what humans were doing "Hundreds of Millions of Years Ago"!!

Number-crunching:

2009 - Nigel Farage revealed to have claimed around £2000000 in taxpayers' money for expenses & allowances, in addition to his salary.
2026 - Nigel Farage invests around £2000000 in Kwasi Kwarteng's bitcoin treasury' firm.

and somewhere in the middle told us "never trust a Tory"!

Brilliant observation. It's these little devices + weasel words + choice of framing that kids should be taught to recognise from a mile off while in school, so we finally have a hope of growing out of the childish tabloidism that Britain still laps up.

In London again, in the glorious sunshine. Crowds of folk happily queuing for Madame Tussauds. People strolling past trees in full blossom. Polite young men letting me off the bus in front of them. Truly, a city on the brink.

I believe this is a golden age of children's literature. There are books being published today that will shape the minds of generations; life-changing books whose readers will change the world. There really is a book for EVERYONE now - if we can just help every reader find those books!

Amol Rajan says he's "very worried" about his kids growing up in England.

And these are some of the responses, highlighting why he is right to be worried:

Reform UK are just normal everyday folk challenging 'the establishment'.

Also Reform UK: Treasurer sells property for £270000000

It really should be that simple.
An obvious deterrent and should be a simple 'trap' to avoid.

Fuck me, we’ve got serious people suggesting the solution to AI generating hallucinatory references in academic papers is to apply AI reference-checking.

No. Just stop it. Blacklist any academic who submits any paper with hallucinatory references.

So now we have 2 distractions from his Epstein connection.

SixToes - Low Guns Feat. Dave Gahan. (Official) YouTube video by SixToesMusic

Often as I pass through Ravenscourt Park, I remember moments of this music video and think it's such a shame it didn't get more attention.

AI lines now so blurred, you may just assume it was a montage & all auto CGId.. instead of being carefully conceived & executed.

Every time you mention Osborne's Razor I get very confused and think of an old mutual colleague (Mike) whose level of shavenness or otherwise would indicate how his day started, which in turn would indicate what kind of mood R. Park was in.

Cool insight.. are there comparable in North Holland? I'd love to ride out of Amsterdam to find something like this.

How can Trump talk so gleefully about having "decimated" Iran while claiming to care about the people and its future?!

Time to reshare this «that’s what you voted to leave » video

All of those countries that can't get jet fuel because of the Strait of Hormuz, like the United Kingdom, which refused to get involved in the decapitation of Iran, I have a suggestion for you: Number 1, buy from the U.S., we have plenty, and Number 2, build up some delayed courage, go to the Strait, and just TAKE IT. You'll have to start learning how to fight for yourself, the U.S.A. won't be there to help you anymore, just like you weren't there for us. Iran has been, essentially, decimated. The hard part is done. Go get your own oil! President DJT

Hey donnie, you might like to reflect on the words of Rabbie Burns, in “To a louse”.

“O wad some Pow'r the giftie gie us
To see oursels as ithers see us!
It wad frae mony a blunder free us,
An' foolish notion”

Suggestion 2 for @mrjamesob.bsky.social
Sunak should be remembered "as Rishi Hood" - Robin Hood in reverse:

Taking from the poor and giving to the rich:

James mentioned he couldn't think what Rishi would be remembered for.

Suggestion 1:
Announcing in N. Ireland that it would be "the world's most exciting economic zone" because it has access to the UK market AND EU single market.
"That is the prize". "Unique". "Unbelievably special" he said. 🔊

It's one step away from Jim Davidson!

Of course "jimbo" is probably Reform's dream pick for culture secretary. Here's his latest showreel:

You know that “Sharia law” Christian nationalists keep warning about?

Yeah — this is it.

Just swap the religion. And suddenly they’re fine with it.

Not like that's going to lead to worsening repercussions in future, eh?

How can their be a fair trial in Trump V BBC if he claims

"they admit they are guilty"

and says they were

"using AI to put words in my mouth"

during the legal proceedings?

Well you might say that, but I'd rather wait for a more reliable source.

Within the next year the majority of companies will ditch almost half their workforce - says Jack Dorsey, co-founder of Twitter.

Musk says his tech will soon be able to do all human jobs.

If so, society is in big and imminent trouble.

So why isn't the topic being discussed on TV and radio?

“It’s not “unethical” to scrape the web in order to create and analyze data-sets. That’s just “a search engine””

Yesterday, 100k hits to mapit.mysociety.org by “Mac” “Chrome” (50k of them 5:30-6am). 72,831 IP addresses. Blocked at 8:20am.

It’s not unethical in theory. It is unethical in practice.
