The dystopian world
worthy of George Orwell
genocide perpetrated
by the terrorist state of Israel
is supported by a majority of Cabinet members
while people protesing against genocide
are condemned as terrorists

Can't wait for the morning I wake up, have my coffee, and he's nowhere in the news. Just an orange stain in the history books. And the stuff that actually matters to people gets to be the headline again.

Every single book of mine on my website is now pay what you want. No need to pirate, the site has simple guides to transfering the files.

So, what do you want? AI slop, or human madness

Your call.

Trump is insane.
Netanyahu is a demon.
Farage is as bent as a nine bob note.
Our treasured institutions are infected with Zionists...corrupt.
Pensioners are worth nothing, they have served their purpose.
We must, regardless the cost, defend their economy, their fiscal rules, their way of life.

Bad take. UBI is unconditional access to resources. It says, "I trust you. Show me what you can do." It is the power to refuse until the pay is right. It is the freedom to choose paid or unpaid work. It fosters community and societal participation.

And ending survival fear is a psychological need.

A lavish party to celebrate a £241m military AI deal with Palantir.

This is the same US firm embedded in our NHS, with links to anti-democratic politics. This deserves scrutiny, not champagne.

We absolutely can afford a UBI, and we do need it, regardless of any impacts AI ends up having.

The cost of UBI is its net cost, not its gross cost. If you get $15k and pay $7k higher taxes as part of the deal, that cost is $8k not $15k.

Try calculating the costs of not doing UBI. Include fascism.
My Sunday Times piece: The idea that we will need a universal basic income because of all the jobs that will be displaced by AI is gaining traction, but it is wrong on several counts:

We can’t afford a universal basic income — and don’t need it

We can’t afford a universal basic income — and don’t need it
If AI massacres jobs, the state will never find £1.5 trillion a year to keep us going. Targeted help would be far more sensible
