Gen-X remainer. I post a lot about politics. I’d like a world where I could post more about Perl and programming, but it’s been a while since my anger at Brexit and this UK government has left space for that. #remain #european #fbpe

You have to salute the French when it comes to protesting- it’s like they get taught how to do it in school or something.

Remember the days pre Brexit when a bagged salad would last a week. Now you’re lucky if it’s got 3 days on it. Quality of food has been awful since Brexit.

Apparently.. If you fuck around on your own that’s dangerous. If you fuck around with mates that’s an event But if you fuck around and write it down, it’s science.

Listening to radio 4 about AI’s. It’s amazing that they can read and understand code, read and understand books and all of human knowledge- yet they are incapable of reading and understanding the law.

If that is genuinely their boat, they’d be in for on hell of a shock when they got into the channel. That looks like one of those little speed boats you would hire on holiday when the sea state is essentially dead calm.

I'm so bored with this. If Burnham, like Starmer, thinks Labour's 'red lines' are unmoveable for political reasons then, ok, I understand that. But to then keep pretending there is some 'ambitious' deal possible that will discernibly increase UK growth is just absurd. www.ft.com/content/4ec5...

The vote was to leave the EU (political body), no one voted to leave the SM or CU. That was an entirely political decision. You can be a member of both and still be compatible with the Brexit vote. The redlines are just horse shit. They won’t be the first government to break a manifesto commitment.

Starmer/Reeves EU policy: 2024 - reset, but within the red lines 2025 - strategic partnership, but within the red lines 2026 - dynamic alignment, but within the red lines And yet such slow progress, negligible economic dividend. I wonder why. What could the obstacle be?
