I managed to avoid swearing in my reply...
Dear Kevin, Unless your "business roundtable" consists of a grovelling apology for Brexit and a solemn pledge to seek to rejoin the European Union, it's safe to say I'm very much not interested. Rest assured that I'll be clicking the "unsubscribe" link immediately.

I received an email this week from Kevin Hollinrake, chair of the Norwegian Blue Party, inviting me to join a "Business Round Table"...
Email from Kevin Hollinrake, Chairman of the Conservative Party, inviting me to an online business roundtable next month with "business leaders across the country". Offering "a chance to shape the future of UK business" plus "Insider understanding of the Government's business strategy, as well as the Conservative Party's response".

As you've disabled replies and quote posts on this, here's my take:

1. Vandalism of this nature is wrong.

2. Organisations like Policy Exchange shouldn't exist unless they're completely open about who funds them.

Is that an offshoot of Fractal Wrongness?
Fractal image with the following text: FRACTAL WRONGNESS You are not just wrong. You are wrong at every conceivable scale of resolution. Zooming in on any part of your worldview finds beliefs exactly as wrong as your entire worldview.

It's not a case of either/or. And claiming that Russia was "provoked" into invading Ukraine is ridiculous.

Remind me how appeasing an aggressor in Europe worked last time around...

And the site is now even more amazing, with AI explanations for the correlations!
AI explanation for the correlation between the popularity of the name "Alix" and the number of carjackings in the US: "As the name Alix fell out of favor, there were fewer people inadvertently summoning cars with their mere presence. This led to a decrease in opportunities for carjackings across the country."
