I bet all those idiots buying internet connected appliances are enjoying finding out some 17 year old can now defrost their fridge remotely like happened to French supermarkets. But being able to remotely check if you have milk without opening the door was worth it right? Tech stupidity ftw

We have supported children to get a correct age assessment after they were wrongly assessed as adults by the Home Office. These are not decisions for AI systems. Age assessments must be human and expert-led. No child should be stripped of the protections they need.

Given the negative comments about young peopleafter the Alan Milburn report, mostly from older eople and pensioners itsprobably a good idea to remind them without young people paying tax the state pension ceases to exist. They 'paid in all their lie' for the people retired before them

My brother fought in the infantry and lost soldiers in Afghanistan. The press used to report deaths before families had been told and I would check my phone over and over, scared it would ring. I went to the inquest of one of his killed men. I saw his red-eyed parents, girlfriend and baby daughter.
