Beelbeebub @beelbeebub.bsky.social · 15hThis put them in a really difficult position should a police investigation and the courts find they did break the law Then the only conclusion is the Reform party's internal rules allow criminal acts. It would be like a football club having rules that allow players to sexually assault people. 020
Beelbeebub @beelbeebub.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Did Xi - a big strong tough man - have tears in his eyes when he said this? 000
Beelbeebub @beelbeebub.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Saw "builders sunscreen" at a builders merchants the other day. Lots of words like "tough" and "sweat" on the packaging. Very manly Still it's a step up from any kind of protective equipment being grounds for instant ridicule. 010
Beelbeebub @beelbeebub.bsky.social · 02/10/2026It is although I have issues with measuring the "cost" of various kinds of immigrants. It being incredibly subjective and very sensitive to the criteria selected and often done in bad faith. But that aside any reasonable discussion *must* include both which the original quote didn't. 010
Beelbeebub @beelbeebub.bsky.social · 01/10/2026What that post and those that are saying "it's just a fact" are missing is any acknowledgement of the different *benefits* of immigration from "culturally distant and less developed" places that you just don't get with immigration from culturally similar places. 110
Beelbeebub @beelbeebub.bsky.social · 30/09/2026He tells it like it is and says what most politicansn in the republican party are afraid to say. 011
Beelbeebub @beelbeebub.bsky.social · 29/09/2026... The UK government and police have been quite neutral in their statements. The only significant "it was Iranian terrorists" chatter is coming from the trump administration who cannot be considered a reliable source. 110
Beelbeebub @beelbeebub.bsky.social · 29/09/2026The police have said no explosive device was found only an unspecified quantity of petrol. It is entirely proper the police took precautions and acted as thought there may have been explosives but the current posture is increasingly pointing away from this being terrorism... 300
Beelbeebub @beelbeebub.bsky.social · 29/09/2026....makes everything look unprofessional. Rather than say "look it was an ai cover I knocked up because we don't have any recent images" your made up some bollocks about "sensitive military operations" - when the aerial images have been all over the professional news channels for days. 010
Beelbeebub @beelbeebub.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I make no mention of politics. Merely mention your cover image is deceptive as it is a near photo realistic image of an EoD remote and 3 white vans on a road approaching fairford which bears no resemblance to objective reality. It makes you look unprofessional (it's not you, so slop... 200
Beelbeebub @beelbeebub.bsky.social · 29/09/2026The airspace restriction over the village came into effect at 13.40 on Sunday. That footage was shot earlier in the day. But claiming that images widely shown on national TV cannot be shown for security reasons is a poor excuse for using fake AI images on a supposedly serious "research" profile 110
Beelbeebub @beelbeebub.bsky.social · 29/09/2026It was taken by the associated press and published widely by the BBC and other national news sources. AFAIK the security services and police have not complained about the footage They have warned about speculation and fake imagery though. Like AI images of 3 vans and a robot in a road .... 120
Beelbeebub @beelbeebub.bsky.social · 29/09/2026The fact the 5 men arrested have been bailed without charge is a big indicator that the security services don't have any evidence this is terror or espionage related at the moment. 100
Beelbeebub @beelbeebub.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Hang on Is that an AI image? Based on the actual video footage this cannot be a real photo. Wrong vans. Wrong road. Wrong police tape. 100
Beelbeebub @beelbeebub.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Also possible. There *was* a plot to bomb the base that the security services were aware of. 5 delivery drivers unwittingly triggered the response. Trump then shoots his mouth off about the classified intelligence thus tipping off the real terrorists that they were blown. 132
Beelbeebub @beelbeebub.bsky.social · 27/09/2026I think a storyline where the sith return to power because a guy with a red light saber who says stuff like "there were very fine force users on both sides" convinces the citizens of the new republic that Princess Leia was too emotional and blue milk is a bit too expensive. 060
Beelbeebub @beelbeebub.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I believe "Babylon 5" back in the 90's was one of the first shows with a deliberate 5 season arc from the outset but it wasn't the norm 120
Beelbeebub @beelbeebub.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Bentley and RR are a natural fit for EVs. They strive for smoothness, silence and effortless power. The cost and weight are an irrelevance and even the range isn't a problem - a Bentley is nobody's only car. If the owner really needs to do long distance they'll take a helicopter or jet. 121
Beelbeebub @beelbeebub.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Heartbreaking: The worst person you know just made a great point 041
Beelbeebub @beelbeebub.bsky.social · 23/09/2026The BBC do (at least now) have a story up on main page www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... Interestingly it was a french coast guard official on the boat. It would be peak funny if the french requested extradition.bbc.co.ukPolice looking at video of anti-migrant activist slashing at boat with knifeDaniel Thomas, known to his supporters as Danny Tommo, livestreamed a video of the alleged incident. 76414
Beelbeebub @beelbeebub.bsky.social · 22/09/2026"super technological intelligence" is better. Then all US gov docs will refer to the US leading the world's in STI's and how Donald trump gets STIs. 030
Beelbeebub @beelbeebub.bsky.social · 20/09/2026I feel a "we didn't start the fire" parody coming .... 040
Beelbeebub @beelbeebub.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Why does the AI industry need a mere puny human to advocate for it? 010
Beelbeebub @beelbeebub.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Did "big strong generals" come up to Tumonwith "tears in their eyes" and beg him "Sir! Please make your beautiful arch into a military storage depot..."? 000
Beelbeebub @beelbeebub.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Just helped with a local jumble sale and one of the items handed donated, well let's say it came with a tub of water based lubricant ... We didn't put it up for sale. 021
Beelbeebub @beelbeebub.bsky.social · 19/09/2026It's like trying to discern meaning and motive behind the octopus that picks world cup winners. It's a fucking octopus. It has no clue about the world cup. It's just picking a nice jar to curl up in. 031
Beelbeebub @beelbeebub.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Is the bigger problem not Trump or any similar successor but that the much vaunted US constitution and system of checks and balances has been proven to be totally inadequate. The entire US policy framework, both foreign and domestic, is now at the whim of rural swing voters every 4 years. 000
Beelbeebub @beelbeebub.bsky.social · 16/09/2026You realise the various age verification requirements for accessing adult content were contained in the Online Safety Act 2023 - introduced to parliament by Michelle Donelan - the *Conservative* MP for Chippenham and then Secretary of State. 080
Beelbeebub @beelbeebub.bsky.social · 16/09/2026"...telling people what they're not allowed to do..." "Don't exploit your workers" "Don't be racist" "Don't sexually harass people" "Don't evade taxes" "Don't dump sewage in the environment" All things that Stalin said 1100
Beelbeebub @beelbeebub.bsky.social · 15/09/2026One thing that might make it appear fairer would be to allow IHT to be paid before death eg some sort of account at HMRC you can pay into to build up "credit" and that gets used to pay IHT on death - without getting included as part of the estate. Any excess is refunded and charged IHT 010
Beelbeebub @beelbeebub.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Glass half full view would be that *if* we are able to get AI data centers to invest in the build out of renewables then we get to use all that power when the AI bubble bursts. Lot of of it's tho 030
Beelbeebub @beelbeebub.bsky.social · 12/09/2026I believe US gulf coast refineries are set up for heavy crude like Venezuela (and Russia and Canada) produce and cannot process the light sweet stuff produced by fracking. 120
Beelbeebub @beelbeebub.bsky.social · 11/09/2026It all depends on the sampling. If the 2k peeps were sampled around the reform conference or who answered the phone on a weekday morning then it won't be representative. But a proper sample can give the population wide results within a few % Most polls are only a few thousand people. 041
Beelbeebub @beelbeebub.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Why has the friendly proud patriot with 'legitimate concerns about immigration' being caught in a net? 011
Beelbeebub @beelbeebub.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Perpetual by-election will suit him well: - Never has to sit in parliament - Always campaigning - Investigations are always on hold - doesn't even have to turn up for the count. 000
Beelbeebub @beelbeebub.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Is the act still in force? Was it repealed? Wondering why it isn't being used? 000
Beelbeebub @beelbeebub.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Cannot think why there might be a difference in response. 010
Beelbeebub @beelbeebub.bsky.social · 05/09/2026Luckily he's not going for a job that involves making vital decisions on complex issues based on listening to many competing information sources. 000
Beelbeebub @beelbeebub.bsky.social · 02/09/2026Yeah, fuck those arseholes who blow up foreign energy infrastructure and cause a massive drop in the availability of oil and gas on the world market. Oh wait. 010
