Yeah, and 2019 wasn’t the rout they like to say it is, either. Plus that new book on Starmer lays a good chunk of the blame on his intransigence. But that all gets out of sight is out of mind

I’ll never forget the Tory MPs laughing at Jeremy Corbyn for wearing a green tie in solidarity with #Grenfell
Theresa May was on the backbenches lambasting her colleagues.
“It’s for Grenfell”, she said angrily.
Victims families were in the Commons that day.
Never forget.
The Grenfell Tower tragedy five years on. has anything changed? https://youtu.be/rrkqflsm0KE

Contrast South Korean pragmatism with Tory racism.
A country doing what it needs to do following a labour shortage created by closing it’s borders (not because its racist but to protect its population from a pandemic) vs a country falling apart because ‘forrins’ are banned.
Whenever you see some corp article saying "x uses AI to do y"
"X uses machine learning to identify patterns that mean a machine can do Y"
Simple application of an algorithm that lets you separate things out quickly and easily.
Self driving cars? Machine learning that avoids stuff and keeps to a route.
The intelligence is in the people that wrote the algorithms & worked out how to encode things so it became tractable.
More powerful processors means this happens more often.
That's it.

You know, a gay man dressed in leather at a festival is far less likely to be a nonce than say, ooh, a vicar or a prince... 😘 https://twitter.com/djmanna123/status/1536622680102797313
