Oh this can just fuck off An AI-'written' complete copy of my own book is now on Amazon; same title, more-or-less the same blurb, and exactly the same impetus. Reviewers of Amazon, I urge you to absolutely dive-bomb this plagiaristic piece of shit: www.amazon.co.uk/FORGOTTEN-VI...

Ever since The Mill wrote an article on Educate and Empower, the fundraisers in navy jackets who people on Reddit often accuse of being a scam, there's one question we've been itching to know: what's been happening inside their office since we published?

THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION was released 32 years ago this week. One of the most popular films ever made, and among the greatest Stephen King adaptations, the making of story has as many secrets as a Rita Hayworth poster… 1/51

Katie Allen-Gyves started teaching at a secondary school in Gorton last September. By December, she had died. The inquest concluded last week, and the verdict was a "tragic accidental death", but Katie's colleagues have told The Mill that the public hasn't heard the full story.

Happy 13th anniversary to that terrible misunderstanding at a WI meeting.
PARKHAM WI: The speaker at the April meeting was Captain Colin Darch, who talked about piracy embarrassingly the WI all dressed as pirates for the evening not real-ising that Captain Darch was going to be talking about his experience of being held hostage by Somall pirates rather than piracy in general.Captain Darcy with a group of WI ladies who are dressed as pirates. He’s quite chipper despite everything.

Leeds trams update
Satirical poster in Hyde Park, Leeds.

TRAMS? WE DON’T NEED TRAMS!

The solution can be achieved with the application of INTELLECTUAL GUMPTION and our INNATE ANIMAL CUNNING 

FOR EXAMPLE:
1# Municipal Sedan Chairs
The feckless can be harnessed
to make up for their complete lack of feck. A win for all.
#2 DOMESTICATE THE UBERBOTS
THEY WILL NEVER TURN AGAINST US.
#3 WHEELED FEETS
Absolutely no reason why this can't happen at scale.

 GIVE UP ON TRAMS. CONTACT YOUR MP AND DEMAND THE ABOVE

What if he does ‘this’? And no one - NO ONE - has done anything to stop it? Or even attempt to stop it. “Well, no one thought he’d actually DO it” is not going to cut it for generations to come.
