Re: Tuesday 15th April 2025
Morning
Listened to some of the Start The Week repeat last night, serious contributors on genocide/war crimes and the Law, the BBC at its best .
This morning featured an interview of 'combat veteran' JDVance by some UnHerd bloke.
That reminded of WATO's gone by when John Humphrys (iirc) would introduce the HERITAGE FOUNDATION as though they were a worthy org .
NOW we've seen Heritage in its true colours as perpetrators of PROJECT 2025.
Here is Trump plotting offshore concentration camps in El Salvador for the wrong sort of Americans --

" What an appalling inversion of the truth. Teachers want to enable critical thinking, they are already regulated to be careful how different opinions are represented in the classroom. That's what you don't like Fartrage. You and your party already want to control the 'facts' and indoctrinate through the media. You did it very effectively over the Brexit debate. Classic fascism, paint your opposition as the biased indoctrinators and yourselves as the a saviours. We've seen this playbook before and it must be resisted. The other parties need to get smarter about how they counter this. "

Re: Tuesday 15th April 2025
Yeah same with Google trying to foist their crappy AI onto my phone.
The only thing I can think of that it might be useful for is getting it to answer when my Dad rings asking me to order something he wants online and telling him to get lost. I'm too much of a soft touch and I never see the money he promises he'll pay me back.
Seriously he must owe me about £150 since the start of this year alone. The latest one was a super king sized duvet because he claimed the cat had peed on his bed and he couldn't just put his duvet in the washing machine because 'it might break it'. I suggested he take it to the care home my mum's in which has industrial sized washing machines and he's there nearly every day, but no, it had to be a new one. At my expense. Before that it was one of those Japanese Maneki-Neko waving cats you see in Chinese takeaways (long story). Those two alone were nigh on £50 between them.
And then he has the temerity to whinge and call me 'miserable' (in Scots it's a synonym for stingy) if I quibble about buying a round in some shit pub with no decent beer he's dragged me to against my wishes. Last time I had to put up with karaoke for fucks sake just so he could have another pint before we shambled home. Honestly he's a massive pain in the arse.
So I'll tell you what Google if you can provide me with a superior AI father who doesn't scrounge off me then give me drunken cheek I might consider your offer.

Re: Tuesday 15th April 2025
Other than that all I have is genuinely miserable news. I emailed my Labour MP over a fortnight ago expressing my disgust at the disability benefit cuts. I kept it as factual as possible, backed it up with stats from the OBR and DWP, explained my own circumstances and how I'll be fucked. All in the most polite and eloquent manner of which I was capable. To date I've had no response.
I was certainly less confrontational than this guy. I do like a bit of righteous anger
(Stephen Timms is the minister for the DWP and disability).
Needing help to eat, dress, wash, cook, and use the toilet are not “Low level functional needs: An open letter to Stephen Timms, MP.

Re: Tuesday 15th April 2025
Oh yeah and as for Labour MPs trying to obscure their affiliations behind 'Westminster green', it took the Tories over a decade before they began trying to camouflage themselves or mimic other parties like weird moths.
'Have you seen your Labour MP lately? You may not know because they can mimic the bark of a tree or a Tory MP.'
