Ok, thanks

I don't see this is very relevant because it's the planned/anticipated increase in data centres that people are worried about.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if these clever AI cameras could somehow also detect and deter a particularly common form of dangerous driving: speeding.

Yep, same situation in Crews Hill Enfield: unfortunately it's the abandoned golf club's they choose to develop, not the (supposedly) active ones.

Surely it's fair enough for a political movement to want to stick to it's original noble purpose. I certainly don't agree with the anti-migrant, white industrial nostalgia bias, but maybe it's a good thing that they don't want to abandon working class for prof and managerial.

Surely must of the growth inducing effect if it exists is from goods transportation. Drastically reduce private car use and you could have much the same effect without building more roads.

​​Watch: USS Abraham Lincoln docks after 10-month mission
The US aircraft carrier was set to return in May but the war with Iran has kept it at sea on one of the longest deployments ever.

Why is "squirreling out new ideas and niches" driving economic growth but ensuring "markets operate fairly" not? The question is daft.

Teared up? I was outright sobbing! However, would love to hear better informed views (than mine) on the extent to which the director's rightward politics slanted the historical interpretation.

Couldn't you have some kind of floating boom bridge that could be opened laterally rather than vertically.

Overuse of "as" is my absolute media pet hate. Nearly always should just be an "and".

Drinking wine in a pub. An appalling state of affairs indeed.

Agree. I watched it all through again a second time and it was just as enjoyable. But I agree.

Would love to hear more on whether air/water pumps are still the way to go given the recent popularity of reversible air/air. This report of interest: assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/6a4e1e...

Why it exists or why it should exist? I don't remember it being very historical. Theoretical arguments for inequality are not necessarily explanations of why it exists.

With the exception of surface transport, those other lines are in a similar place and cheap electricity won't always make it particularly easy to reduce further e.g. aviation, agriculture. Even heat pumps and elec cars about practicalities, upfront costs and suspicion as well as electricity price.

I remember back in the day an old lefty explaining how the Thatcherite Right proudly used "radical right" to falsely appropriate the positiveness of radicalism associated with the Left, in the same way the Nazis used "socialist".

Wait, this is the same Telegraph that rails against the spendthrift ways of Gen Z for buying a sandwich for lunch instead of living entirely on the cheapest boiled greens available because that way they’ll have a house deposit saved in a mere 15 years? They need to make their mind up.

Also, what Dan says seems utterly plausible. It's not hard to see cities collapsing into anarchy from financial and infrastructure systems disruption. Maybe not "kill us all" but potentially catastrophic and civilisation ending.

In London, the are many streets with parking either side where SUVs now can't get through side by side but it doesn't seem to deter people buying them.

So, just to get this straight, it's the people warning about AI ending civilisation being in a sex cult, rather than the possibility of AI ending civilisation, that makes you want to quit civilisation?

okokapi.bsky.social @okokapi.bsky.social · 17/09/2026
They can still make a lot of noise revving and farting away in modified vehicles. And you can't get rid of SUVs through this approach either.
