In February 1777, General George Washington ordered the first mass immunization campaign in American history by mandating that his troops be inoculated against smallpox. He protected the Continental Army from an epidemic that was deadlier than British forces.
249 years later, we have this idiot.
Now, I don't think we can put AI back in its box. Like all discoveries, it has potential for both good & bad. We need to regulate, control, & monitor it, & we need to label it. I think that's the 1st & most urgent thing. Cartoonist Giorgi Nanava just called human art 'inspiration' & AI 'imitation'.
An image containing a post from Isabel Oakeshott complaining that the press are reporting on her boyfriend’s tax dodging accompanied by various reports about his tax dodging.
'Richard Tice’s girlfriend is very annoyed that the free press she champions, despite having emigrated to a dictatorship without one, is investigating her boyfriend for stuff she says people who aren’t her boyfriend, like Angela Rayner, should resign over.'
You couldn’t make it up. 🤦🏻♂️
The Pope as Pope ye, whacking Trump in the face.

They will say what they like, because they know it is not what they will do and there will be nothing anyone can do about. Fascists will promise the earth to get elected. Once in power thry will not relinquish power. Thry will impoverish millions to make fortunes for the selves just like Trump.

🔴 NEW - Nigel Farage Attacks X as ‘Dangerous’ Despite His MPs Pocketing £55,000 From Elon Musk’s Platform

Good. It’s easy to forget that climate change denial & shilling for fossil fuel companies provided a template for Tufton Street, Brexit & pretty much every egregious example of persuading populations to vote against their own interests. The story of Don Pearlman should be taught in kindergartens…
2026: President Trump says that Peter mandelson "was a really bad pick"
2025: President Trump approves of "Peter Mandelson as UK ambassador to the US"
The Brits appear ready to shame the US news media into covering this, distracted as they are by gazing at their own navels ...

Warsh is an Epstein crony
I checked this too.
*20 seconds* of Reform logo display.
*No other* party logo displayed.

I went and watched the segment on iPlayer. This is absolutely wild. It’s basically doing a free micro political broadcast for Reform during BBC Breakfast.
It’s very hard not to give up…
The media outlets that we should be able to trust to hold power to account are in the pockets of power. They undermine our democracy every day.
I despair, I really do.
We all need to lodge an official complaint. It takes no time at all, and I've dropped a link to BBC Complaints in the comments. This is shocking.
