Shouldn’t we ask Ai how we keep our data safe from Ai hackers?

I’m shocked that in the audit certificate in last years cabinet office accounts, the auditor refers to the ‘volume’ of claimants under the infected blood compensation scheme. What is happening to our language?

These calls from the opposition for the government to rule out tax rises ahead of the budget are so irritating

Why does every guest/contributor on R4 have to say ‘thank you for having me’? Is it a contractual obligation?

Harry and family are returning to the UK. Fine. I really don’t need to hear any more about it.

Why do people have such an aversion to the word ‘number’ preferring ungrammatical alternatives such as ‘amount’ or ‘volume’?

How can the BBC allow a newsreader to utter the phrase ‘3 times lower’?

I’m getting pretty bored and irritated by the seemingly endless speculation about what Burnham may or may not do. Let’s just wait and see.

Farage effectively confirmed this morning that the £5m was payment for services. Presumably therefore it is taxable as income.

This ‘debate’ over Englishness is ridiculous. England has always been a place of immigration, from the Beaker people onwards. This is not true of, say, Japan. (And the people who preceded the Beaker people were brown skinned)

BBC continuity announcer used the expression ‘at the top of the hour’ today. I had to go and lie down.

Overheard at the Washington Hilton: ‘Good evening sir, checking in? Yes, I believe the President will be here tomorrow? Yes sir, are you attending? I may pop in. Any luggage sir? Just this shotgun and handgun. That’s your constitutional right, sir. The porter will show you to your room. Thank you.’

With increasing concerns about the USA’s commission of war crimes, and certainly a lack of humanity in pursuing the war, the UK should certainly suspend use of airfields here, if only to avoid complicity in any such crimes.

Please can the BBC news please explain to their journalists the meaning of ‘overestimated’ and ‘underestimated’

A demand for unconditional surrender is just a recipe for maximising the death toll. Especially when demanding it of a regime quite prepared to machine gun its own population

Who is responsible for the most deaths, the late Supreme Leader of Iran who Trump called ‘evil’ , or President Putin of Russia who Trump greeted with a red carpet?

I despair of our political class. In a world beset by enormous problems including threats from aggressive totalitarian states, a deteriorating global environment and a stuttering economy, we have a governing party and opposition more concerned with internal squabbling and political point scoring.

The White House says it is discussing options for Greenland. But it doesn’t seem to be considering the option of discussing the security of Greenland with Greenland, Denmark, the EU and NATO, which is surely the most obvious option. I wonder why.

There are posts on Facebook and instagram claiming Starmer was rude to Joanna Lumley and of her attacking Khan, saying London is ruined. I don’t believe either of these posts have any truth. But people are believing them without question.

Has Witkoff ever been to Ukraine? If not, why not? He might get a better perspective of what being under attack means. He needs to see for himself

Putin sounds scared to me, with a touch of desperation.

David Norris @borisnorris.bsky.social · 13/12/2025

Putin continues the war because he has no option. Anything other than complete victory would be the end of him.

BBC News keeps reporting that Coventry was bombed by ‘The Nazis’. It wasn’t; it was bombed by the Luftwaffe. Just desperate not to say it was the Germans. Easier just to say Coventry was bombed during ww2

Witkoff has clearly succumbed to the Dark Side. He is plainly compromised as a negotiator.

Whatever Ukraine has agreed to, Zelenskyy will be blamed by Trump when Putin rejects it

What is the logic of fining a national health trust? This is just punishing the patients

Trump, almost certainly the most corrupt and dishonest President in history, accuses BBC of being corrupt and dishonest. Trump’s reputation has certainly not been damaged. Nor has he suffered any loss.

Israel seems eager to take advantage of any excuse to continue killing Palestinians.

Trump is always hyperbolic, but he won’t be exaggerating when he claims to have provoked the biggest protest against a government in the history of the world.

David Norris @borisnorris.bsky.social · 03/10/2025

Why was Lammy booed? Because the government still trades with Israel? Or because they have recognised a Palestinian state? Or something else? I’m puzzled.

The COVID enquiry continues, but will it answer the question of why Germany had more infections, but fewer deaths?

I just want to say how much I despise these hackers who put jobs, businesses and livelihoods at risk for pure greed.
