Things become easier when you realise what Object Oriented Programming originally meant.
"OOP to me means only messaging, local retention and protection and hiding of state-process, and extreme late-binding of all things. It can be done in Smalltalk and in LISP. There are possibly other systems in which this is possible, but I'm not aware of them."

Over the course of history, dictators, autocrats, & authoritarian Govts have regularly tried to avoid the rule of law.
Authoritarian & autocratic leaders always seek to avoid inconvenient legal constraints & judgements.
Even considering ignoring #ECHR rulings shames Britain. 🇬🇧

'That's the face of the Nice Guy Empire, also known as the rules-based int'l order, also known as the US-led world order. It presents the facade of humanitarianism & democratic ideals, but underneath it's just as savage & bloodthirsty as any other empire in history' ~ @caitoz https://twitter.com/caitoz/status/1544505840819847169

Are FBPE slowly beginning to realise the labour right never cared about Brexit or the single market, and they only used the issue to remove Corbyn, even if the cost was a Boris Johnson led government?

Is it just me, or are 'woke street name changes' not the biggest problem facing working people in Britain right now?

You can't just "make Brexit work", @Keir_Starmer, when it’s clearly doing such damage
Pretending #Brexit can be positive is dishonest, plays into hands of Govt & undermines national interest
Instead, admit this is about damage limitation - don’t falsely claim to “make it work”

I'm sorry but if you're making culture war bullshit your number one political issue while we're staring down the barrel of nuclear world war and the screaming death of our biosphere, then I think you're a bit of a tool and I'll probably say so once in a while. Sue me.
Well worth a watch

What kind of barbaric, uncivilised, intolerant, backward-looking, unethical, anti-human-rights, antidemocratic tin-pot authoritarian #neofascist regime would actually introduce new laws to "objectively justify" explicit discrimination against black people & Travellers?
Oh. 😬🇬🇧
RT @RichardJMurphy
Labour says it will refuse to talk to the EU about reversing Brexit. And it says it will refuse to talk to the SNP about independence. Are you really surprised that the sane people in Scotland are adding two and two together and think independence the best way forward?

Emmanuel Macron was the posterboy of self-declared "centrists", so now his party has done deals with French fascists, have any of them said anything, especially those who denounced left-wing voters for abstaining rather than voting for Macron?

This week I got a call from a women who's daughter in Weston-super-Mare had had her deposit stolen by her landlady. For months she tried to get it back & only got excuses & silence. Then as a last ditch attempt her mum texted landlady to say she was a member of @ACORN_Bristol...

Still can't get over this. After years of "Gender Critical" people calling to eliminate trans people, the Green Party still has people in power so ignorant that they think everyone can just get along? It's so ridiculous and ignorant https://twitter.com/BrentGreens/status/1542792775778930689
