You own a BMW car and yet you send a neighbour to Heathrow airport to pick up your daughter in a pick-up? How strange.

Tories head for record low in London local elections

Tory psephologist predicts Conservatives will be hit by big rise in Labour support

Conservative party support in London looks set to slump to a record low at the local elections on 3 May as the young, ethnically diverse electorate turns to Labour in increasing numbers.

Projections from the Tory peer and psephologist Robert Hayward indicate the Conservatives will lose about 100 council seats. (Guardian)
Here's hoping.

I was expecting some "Brexit" fallout. It's been a while now . . .

A self-driving car killed a female pedestrian on Monday in what is believed to be the first fatal crash involving an autonomous vehicle.

The victim, named by authorities as Elaine Herzberg, was crossing the street at night time when she was hit by a self-driving Uber 4x4 in the South West city of Tempe, Arizona. The 49-year-old was taken to a local hospital where she died of her injuries.

The incident is the first known death involving a fully autonomous vehicle. (Telegraph)

Yes.

The story that seems to be gaining traction is the Cambridge Analytics Facebook one.

Maybe folk are just bored with Brexit.

This one is behind the Telegraph's paywall but the headline's a gem.

There seem a be a few stories of people having to talk to the police after having accidents in Teslas and claiming it was autopilot what did it.

There's no story, they've just kicked the Brexit can down the road again.

The shit will hit the fan eventually I suppose, but JRM and his pals are so desperate to cross the line they'll accept practically anything to get there. The DUP are rather less predictable imo.
