Power of Attorney is not meant to be exclusive. Yes, one person signs the papers, but I read before I went into this: other interested parties, i.e. relatives or friends, are meant to be consulted. Poor Ranulph Fiennes! #bbcBH

I have heard of these classroom "robots" as an aid for children receiving treatment, perhaps chemotherapy for cancer. Are these numbered among the 2000 school children mentioned in the report? #BBCbc

90 years ago, Parliament responded to the rise of Oswald Mosley's Blackshirts by passing the Public Order Act, which banned political uniforms, private militias and the threat of force for political objects. The debates make very resonant reading today. Here's the Liberal Robert Bernays. (Short 🧵)
You cannot conduct a fair match when one side is playing with a ball and the other with bombs and, if democracy is to survive, it must be conducted according to definite and recognised rule. One of them is that no political party should resort to any weapon other than reason and argument. The introduction of private armies, as I see it, strikes at the root of democracy. I know it is contended that the Blackshirts are not armed and, therefore, are not an army, but I do not think that argument can be upheld. … Uniformed men in military formation suggest, and are meant to suggest, the idea of force. It is no argument to reply that at this or that demonstration no force is intended. It is an inescapable fact that a uniform in politics symbolises force, to be used either now or in the future.

I want the Prime Minister to look into a TV camera and say the RNLI are heroes, that we do not change policy by street violence in this country, and that he expects any criminal action to face the full force of the law. That's it. That's all he has to do.

The Trump and the Kushners have lives devoid of simple pleasures. Events and experiences are merely opportunities to make money. Kushner will never know the joy of, say, an injury time winning goal totally against the run of play. Well done, UEFA.

On the importance of what we feed AI. That's why companies that do try get their hands on as much information as possible. On the best information possible. And all that once came from our minds. Which shows our brains are cleverer than AI, it's just good at summing us up. #GoodMorning, everyone
A 3 panel cartoon. A lady paints a fence that consists of many wooden planks. She's finished painting two and is halfway done with a third. She then hands the paint brush to an AI robot that continues the work along the fence, always painting two planks, and half of the third.
