Home Office has announced rollout of facial recognition technology worth £141 million called ‘Police.AI’.
Labour. I beg of ye. Stop doing things that make it almost certain you’ll be handing the keys to 10 Downing Street (and all our personal data) to Farage. Please. Just do better.

Graham Linehan proves the point that trans liberationists have been saying from the start:
If you'll permit dehumanising and stripping the rights of trans people, you will dehumanise and strip the rights of anyone on a long enough timeline.
If you'll permit dehumanising and stripping the rights of trans people, you will dehumanise and strip the rights of anyone on a long enough timeline.
This is exactly the same playbook Graham Linehan uses against trans people, where defending trans rights is cast as defending "rape" and "paedophilia." He uses "rape" and "paedophilia" as punchlines, and, therefore, all of his hate speech and advocation for violence against his enemies is justified.

To read white nationalist thought, one would think ancient and medieval Europeans were beings of pure ether, had neither flutes nor drums, and subsisted on clouds of ambrosia.

I’m really quite surprised at the BBC website today. ‘Here is a video, some people say it does not show what it very obviously shows’ is not how you report this.

Palantir software is now the basis of the Government's fraud reporting service. So it now handles sensitive financial data for millions of UK citizens. Plus NHS data. Plus military analytics. Plus policing.
And, of course, it's quite explicitly far right in its politics.
