Helicopter test pilot and instructor. Ex UK military but now working for the Norwegian government. Living in Norway changed my view of government intervention and social norms.
Voter priorities from today’s General Election in Norway exit polls 🇳🇴.

What I struggle with on this platform (in echo chamber terms) is, that while the language today was probably wrong, there is no question that the majority of the UK population are concerned over the levels of net migration (especially recently)/1

UK annualised inflation rate(CPI) since 1945. The macro view of the ‘cost of living crisis’. Of course the problem is if you map lower skilled earnings growth (or falls)onto to this it makes for grim reading.

This sort of machine scares me. The focus on drone warfare demands an ethical debate. Some suggest drones could just be fighting drones but that really lowers the level at which countries or entities consider conflict acceptable.
