"Rudy Giuliani, a Trump cybersecurity adviser, doesn’t understand the internet"
Basically he mistyped a tweet making it appear as an hypertext link, someone noticed, saw the resulting website address wasn't registered, so nabbed it & put an anti trump message on it....
I probably shouldn't mock others struggles with technology. The other day I asked 'Alexa' (aka Amazon Web device thingy) to play a song, which it heard wrongly, resulting in me forgetting 'Alexa''s name & unable to stop resulting racket (apart from pulling plug out).

Re: Wednesday 5th December 2018
Although I don't agree with it, spending less money on welfare is at least a genuine political choice. Spending more money on providing less welfare, as we are currently seeing, propped up by spurious claims such as less money helps people more than more money and very dubious claims of "fairness" is just pure evil. And the excuses people invent to absolve themselves of this evil get more unconvincing and convoluted the more the holes in their idea of "fairness" grow. Tory voters have no problem with socialism when it's a case of everyone's taxes being used to build flood defences to protect the houses they knowingly bought on flood plains but when a person has the misfortune to become ill their claiming the sickness benefits they thought they were entitled to via their many years of NI contributions is somehow unacceptable. We all vote in our own interests, of course, but wanting more of our taxes spent than would be otherwise on endless assessments to deny extremely ill and disabled people benefits our politicians have already deemed they qualify for doesn't seem to be in anyone's interests but those pocketing the cash for doing the assessments. Seeing how self-evidently obvious this is, it can only be assumed that Tory voters are either very spiteful, very stupid or all work for Atos, Capita, G4S, Maximus etc.HindleA wrote:Relieving the State is presented as taking from the State.

I suppose it will be a bit "after the mayor's show" in the Commons today - anything notable happening (apart from PMQs of course)?

#FBPE types predictably whining that Corbyn went on something other than Brexit at PMQs today.
Its not like parliament isn't discussing the latter non-stop into next week or anything?

Grant Shapps is in (at least) two minds . . .

In the Commons Grant Shapps, the former Conservative chairman, told MPs that he was still “contemplating” how to vote on Tuesday and that he was “currently minded to vote against”.

I've just looked up to find that Sky TV news has gone from covering Theresa May's "Brexit" deal, and is now covering a funeral (George HW Bush's).
No wonder I'm confused.

As usual I didn't watch Newsnight yesterday (same as almost everybody else, then) but from what I have gathered it was something of a new low even for them?

A combination of dumbed down gimmicks and an underlying narrative close to "actually, the PM had something of a triumph today"

I'm unable to to give you information regarding Abbott's speech today, PorFavor. I didn't watch or see it.

Mr citizen and I saw Peterloo recently
It's an important film; it's timely
Leigh's films are exceptionally fine and Peterloo is good. It's not Mike Leigh's best work, in my opinion.

Re: Wednesday 5th December 2018
The film didn't seem historical to me. The divide between rich and not rich remains. That hasn't changed. The desperation of regular working class people living through bad government legislation and policy remains.
Re: Wednesday 5th December 2018
The link below has Abbott's contributions, she's regularly interrupted and the Hansard thread is an interesting read.

'Parliamentary elections every year'
Yes, please. It'll concentrate representatives' hearts and minds. Any government doing right by the electorate gets returned.

Mr citizen expressed concern about possible disruption caused by high annual representative turnover
Said it like it's a bad thing
Disruption by unaccountable entrenched bastards causes greater worries

I disagree with the Chartists ,I am with Mr Citizen on this one for numerous reasons.
Re: Wednesday 5th December 2018
Diane Abbott's contributions in the House today emphasised decades of security infrastructure cooperatively integrated will leave UK security compromised by the act of leaving the EU. She didn't say it like that. The UK's treaties with EU nations as an EU nation will be gone; there's nothing in May's EU Withdrawal notes about this and more. J Hunt just assured the House the UK will be secure. I'm not reassured.

I've thought about it. Annual Parliamentary elections. Other electoral and press reform would have to exist. A string of bastards in every year otherwise.
