AI brings genuine benefits. Medical research, better understanding of complex systems. Useful. Keep that. Making 25% of us permanently unemployed and rendering pics of Fat Johnny Depp is not useful. It harms the planet and society. If it costs users money, it will stop. So tax the compute.

If people don't want to pay tax to make this country function and help out the rest of society and particularly those who need help most... then maybe they should move to Dubai and stop bleating about it. Really sick to death of it.

Norway produces more oil than Venezuela. And yet, between January and August 2026, electric vehicles made up 97.8 percent of all new cars sold in that country. Moving to EVs is often based on intelligence, not need. Which is why it lags in the notoriously short-sighted and stupid United States.

The answer to "Does Israel have a right to exist?" Is NO. It was setup on stolen land given by one colonial invader to another and Genocide was their first action when they arrived. It has NEVER had a right to exist.

I don't know how long we have to keep up this pretence of "the will of the people" or "it would have worked if it had been done right" or "respect the referendum". It was/is a fucking stupid idea; a con; a fraud; a lie; a travesty and a gigantic flop. I have been saying so since the start of 2016.

I’ve worn a grubby RNLI cap for decades. I sound London, but I was born in Truro and I was a basically feral (Gen X) kid wandering the coast path with a dog until sunset for a lot of my early life. The lifeboats are in the fabric like trawlers and farms and pasties and fish and chips.

Look. This is really simple. Whilst the RNLI is a charity, it forms part of the basic infrastructure of the country (whether this is a suitable arrangement is another matter). Due to intimidation parts of this infrastructure are unable to function.

While rightwing media nods approvingly at the prejudiced outcry in Piddington, a RNLI station has to close because of white British thuggery and threats. This is where the constantly toxic obsession with immigration leads. To racist, flag-wielding vigilantism that ruins this country for everyone.

The attacks and vilification of the RNLI is just the tip of the iceberg. If we have learned anything from right-wing facism in the past and present it is that it is everything about hatred, intolerance and racism and nothing about compassion, decency and respect. It must be opposed at every level.

As a cyclist on UK roads, you can follow every law, cycle responsibly at all times with consideration to others and still be routinely endangered by motorists. Partly because general driving standards are abysmal, but also because you bear the responsibility for other cyclists‘ misdemeanours.

The people running these companies believe that climate change could kill us all by the end of the decade. This is not a fringe worry. Publicly, many executives soften their language to sound reasonable, but privately, the fear is real. No other industry poses this level of danger to civilization.

The balaclava blackshirted thugs are a result of a decade of politicians, tabloids and the broadcast media telling racists they have "legitimate concerns." The normalisation of actual fascism rhetoric and action has led to this and is a far greater "legitimate concern" than any migrant on a boat.
