Unclear on jurisdiction but if UK, Google has just admitted to three potential crimes under Section 1 of the Computer Misuse Act 1990. Other countries will have simular laws. Perhaps rather than talking about regulating IA, we should be enforcing existing laws?

RIP Dolly Parton.

Never met her, never interviewed her (despite decades of unrequited requests) but thought she was utterly fabulous in every way.

My small British company was bought by Americans. I have just been formally reprimanded for sarcasm and sardonic commentary. I told the disciplinary panel I was grateful for the opportunity to reflect on my attitude going forward and would be certain to bear it in mind in future.

In 2004 a human rights barrister & part of the appeal defence for the "Fairford Five", made a defence similar to that of the Palestine Action activists who broke into RAF Brize Norton last year. His name? Keir Starmer - who now even labels people who support these conscientious acts as terrorists.

If Muslims or members of the Asian and Black community had set fire to white people’s homes with children running for their lives, do you think we would be discussing legitimate concerns or focussing on who radicalised them and ideological and contributing cultural factors?

Disingenuous statements from Wes Streeting that he will introduce a wealth tax when all he means is slightly upping capital gains which is a tax on the growth of wealth not wealth itself. Only a real wealth tax that steadily erodes wealth would reduce inequality.

So it turns out that the US seizure of an tanker off the coast of Scotland used RAF Mildenhall in #England and #Wick airport (owned by the #Scottish Government). Is it too much to hope that those assets would not be available for an attack on #Greenland? Starmer and Swinney must make that clear.
