Archer is basically a Tory Mandelson. It’s interesting to see the different way they are treated by the media; Mandelson being the devil incarnate and Archer is just treated a loveable rogue.

That said, there has to be a national care service. Just might involve some complicated funding mechanism.

Mike Cameron @mikercameron.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
If the trade off is lower pensions to fund social care then that would involve a shift of wealth from lower to higher net-wealth individuals. Which can’t fair. Needs some further manipulation of the tax system to make equitable.

I’m also wondering why, given the numerous credible allegations relating to false accounting, there hasn’t been some form of investigation into the clubs activities by the SFO or HMRC?

Mike Cameron @mikercameron.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
Fairly obvious, but Man City won’t be adequately punished for their utter contempt for the rules of the competitions they played in. They’ll not lose a single title they stole, nor will any financial penalty discomfort them. That’s just the way it is.

The ingrained behaviour of NHS managers, as betrayed by scandal after scandal, inquiry after inquiry, is that service users should just shut up, stop moaning and be grateful because they get treated for free. Until this attitude is eradicated, nothing will change. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I would like to see at least one exam at school taken under open book and open internet conditions. Let’s see just what kids can do when they’re given access to all the tools. The questions would range across domains of knowledge and be necessarily difficult. Might ensure the tools get taught.

Note that the American politicians saying “tech companies can’t accurately moderate out harmful social media posts” are the same politicians who are saying “we’ll get an AI to read five years of your posts before we let you in the country”.

Just to tailgate the zeitgeist, an adjustment that has to be made is to bar employers from using AI to assess applicants suitability for employment. This is a pernicious, dehumanising start to building the relationship required between employer and employee.

So the police are good to throw traumatised women on the floor after one of their own raped, strangled + burnt one of us, but they’ve forgotten where their riot shields are when terrorist paramilitary thugs shut down a port? Is that where we’re at? Because they’re not paid to choose whether to work.
