Who radicalised this domestic terrorist - a white English man? What social media, TV channels, or politicians influenced his views? If he was not white, how different would the response from Reform UK be?

I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:

Screenshot of a Tweet from Pope Leo XIV. It reads:

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgen to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity."

I still remember Esther Rantzen on That’s Life holding up a small ad from a Local Authority in the early 70s advertising for an Equal Pay Officer but offering a lower wage for women. I’m part of generation of teenagers mildly radicalised by amusing trivia.

In fact, it was so bad that there was a campaign called: "Don't kid yourself. Without consent, it's RAPE" (I know, it seems British men ALSO need to be taught about consent! - who knew 🤷‍♀️) 14/

A woman in a military-style outfit stands close to a man in red military attire, who raises a drink, while another man sits alone, looking distressed.

A distressed woman, partially clothed, is seated with her head in her hands, surrounded by empty bottles, emphasizing the serious issue of consent.
