Animal lover. Loathe this current crop of venal, thick, morally bereft politicos with every fibre of my not inconsiderable being. I like lots of things from Sci-Fi/fantasy, to Margaret Rutherford films & anything in between

Bezos is sacking 14,000 people to replace with AI.

Microsoft are cutting 4.1% or jobs (9,100) to replace with AI.

“I’m old enough to remember when mainstream British politicians, who should know better, stirred up racial hatred as a path to power. You’re old enough to remember too because it was last Tuesday. And it was Robert Jenrick”

Cathartic anger at flag-flying racism.

Take a look at Farage's grovelling "Happy Birthday Mr. President" tweet. He's even holding a bottle of Trump wine.

Farage is no proud patriot. He's a creepy fascist sycophant who parrots Russian lies and thinks Andrew Tate is an important voice for men.

It is embarassing not to see the BBC pulling up Reform leaders claiming that Nathan Gill was just some fan who got photos taken with Farage - he was an MEP for them & their leader in Wales while taking cash from Russia to act against the UK! Literally the very basics of your job to point this out

"You should never overestimate the extent to which the BBC changed this country by giving endless airtime to Nigel Farage, other far right extremists and the Tufton Street junktanks, while shutting out progressive voices."

I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".

If you want to know about the state of British media, these 'formidable obstacles' include assault of a police officer, ABH, football hooliganism, entering the US on a false passport, mortgage fraud, stalking, endangering a grooming trial, defaming a 15 year old refugee and a lifetime of racism.
