Surely the solution is to build a skeleton structure on either side of the bridge that gives off an unmissable signal if the approaching vehicle is too high?

What I've learned from my many decades on the planet is that the authorities lie to us. They always lie.

What I like about AI is that it brings into sharp focus the question, how do we want to live?

Compare and contrast the Government language.

£3,750 EV grant on a £35k car: ‘helping families’.

Cycle to Work: ‘subsidising leisure’.

And yet cycling delivers TEN TIMES the impact of electric cars for reaching net zero. It’s almost like narrative, not data, is driving policy.

My guess is the Epstein files will show some good old boys enjoyed travel and partying with famous people. Everyone will say, 'well, wasn't that a lot of fuss over nothing.'

In a nutshell. It’s not boats, it’s austerity.

And let’s not forget that austerity is a political (not economic) choice to funnel funds from public into private hands.
“since the start of 2010 the authority had seen reductions equating to a real terms decrease in funding of £465.9m - 70% of its overall budget”

and people are wondering why the UK is “broken”

it’s not “boats” it’s austerity

I remember the first time I encountered a novel by an author I enjoyed that had been co-written. I asked the librarian what was going on. She said the famous author came up with the story and the co-writer did the grunt work. Now AI is the co-writer.

I'm not sure how Zack Polanski is navigating the political pathways to power. Every politician who gains power has had to accede to the wishes of the parasite class in some way. Any politician who appears incorruptible is considered extremist and destroyed by the billionaire owned MSM.

I wonder if the subjugated peasants sensed the Roman empire was about to fall or did they just carry on chopping wood and fetching water?

Anyway, I'd better get on and chop the wood...

It's dawned on me how a lot of news shows are frustrated theatre productions. Various characters take turns to deliver lines (with suitable facial expressions) before a 'voices off' reports from another location.

I once read how Plato's wacky ideas were tolerated when optimism dominated but as soon as the mood changed to uncertainty he was arrested. Humans don't change.
