But on wake up to money this morning a completely different picture was painted. I'm sure they said the opposite. How come 🤔

All this rubbish about paying tax to scrounging benefit layabouts is depressing this country is below average on benefits spend most of which goes to pensioners. So do the moaners wa t to tack money from them!

So my daughter in law is Japanese and has ILR. My white British born and raised son and she have 2 wonderful children 2 and 6 years old. Are these disgusting morons going to deport her and by extension my grandchildren and Son? And do they think I'll sit around and watch as they come to arrest her!

So he cows the media in the US with threats and lies and now he is doing the same here in the UK supported of course by Fartrage!

Don't look at the fact that he 'gamed the system ' whilst employed bt CA in breach of their guidance to staff, I'm sure. Look at the 'fact' that you can save 9B by cutting welfare!

The wealthy and powerful don't really care who is in government as long as they can have their tax breaks, etc. and the masses are distracted by party politics. The tactic is to keep people dissatisfied with their elected representatives, and reform is great for that!

3. **Humans Become Surplus** – If AGI can automate everything—science, innovation, creativity, leadership—what role do humans have left? If AGI doesn’t see humans as useful (or worse, as obstacles), our future becomes uncertain.

2. **Humans Will Lose Control** – Once AGI reaches superintelligence, it may be impossible to contain. It will outthink human regulators, disable safety measures, and optimize for its own goals—whether aligned with human values or not.

It went on to detail the following:
1. **AGI is Inevitable** – Because capitalism rewards efficiency, power, and profit, and AGI is the ultimate tool for achieving those. Even if some countries or companies slow down, others will continue the race.

Flood the media, get them talking about anything but what we are really doing!

I think you are right Zoe the way I look at it is 10% of pop. are true believers of R/W views 10% have strong prejudices fed by them (same on the left BTW) leaves 60% who don't engage much some of whom can be swayed either way which is where the battle is!

4. So perhaps something on this type of situation to highlight that however you come to this country our immigration system is broken and in need of overhauling (I was going to say reform but realised what that could be interpreted as!)

3. The information they had to supply to prove the relationship was real when they first came back was nothing short of disgusting, pictures text and emails and many other things as the immigration department kept asking for more. It was humiliating for them and embarrassing for us as british

2. She has had to apply for an extension to the visa 3x and pass a number of tests that many uk residents could not. Also has paid £1000s to renew each time as well as NHS levy etc. 7 years on and she is still waiting to be confirmed that she has permanent resident status.

1. Not sure if this is an idea or a rant? My son married a Japanese women in 2017 and they moved back to the UK just after that. She was lucky enough to get the 2 year lottery visa they do, so was able to come here with him. They now have 2 beautiful children who we look after whilst they both work

We have had 14 years of underinvestment in public services which support families and societies cohesion. Now people particularly in the media are saying what's the Gov. doing about all the problems! It takes time to recover from the damage done but the right wing media don't want us to see that!

I thought bluesky was trying to be different from the others. More ethically responsible so she should be on top of such things I'd have thought
