Music producer, polyglot, lecturer, anti-misinformation, anti-Brexit, satirist. Please ask yourself whether I'm being serious before you go psycho. It's usually parody.

Haven't seen any report that disagrees with what Goldman Sachs is saying.

Hey, many thanks! Sorry if it's not your thing and you've wasted time.

For all the talk of migrants 'invading' the US, maybe that country deserves to find out what it's actually like instead of forcing occupation on others. Not saying China's more ethical but that the US isn't better. Of late, Europe, Canada and a few others are worth defending but the US is 50-50.

It's generally not possible to help by supporting US businesses on ideological grounds. Look at these asshole corporations treating illegally occupied Gazan territory as Israeli. (One's European. The point's that the US isn't an ethical alternative.) That's like treating Ukrainian soil as Russian.

Not familiar with the circumstances under which that was said. Maybe he was softening the public in case of an Epstein-file release, pivoting towards saying his benefits to the world outweigh personal defaults (instead of being the pedophile-bashing saviour MAGA thought).

...restraint isn't one of its characteristics. Israeli public opinion was about protecting hostages, not holding back per se. From that perspective, the rationale behind striking harder has just got stronger.

I get how there's broad support for a deal that has two-way compromise but is anyone asking whether it'll be enforced? Reporting's been about the letter of the agreement and not that breaking agreements has been a regular feature of this saga. I feel Israel now holds the cards and...

We would still have aplenty young boys willing to shine our shoes in the street. We could still slap pauper dimwits. The Falklands would have been invaded by us. The EU would be our colony. Our taxes wouldn't be wasted on schools, hospitals or TokTik. So there!

My fault. Was going down the feed and your question jumped out. I rattled off a reply as I've recently been wondering if it might work out better to go for complete digital anonymity in the future. Will read the article as it's yours.

I was replying to the question about whether we were wrong to leave, giving an opinion and not commenting on the column. Only just seen you wrote it. Apologies, I now understand you were directing interest towards it. I sincerely thought you were opening a general debate.

... around the world could be leading them into the lion's den. Sure, you can give your opinion, might even be encouraged but you're laying yourself bare in an environment controlled by people that want to know it for nefarious gain.

Failing to see your logic. People are told they can shape public opinion on Twitter. I reply that Twitter might be shaping theirs. Encouraging participation when politically motivated online surveillance is intensifying, people are refused visas/entry to the US for their posts or imprisoned...

Yet I'm sick of being told people are fed propaganda, Musk pushes agenda and of widespread election interference on- and offline. There's clearly an overall strategy to control the conversation as illustrated by the TikTok affair, the way Big Tech interacts with the government or resistance...

Shaping policy, eh. That's a fine example of doublespeak. The use of policy to shape opinions is the greater evil. There's also the quality Vs quantity argument.

What I've found personally is that in many (most?) countries getting that kind of service from officials is possible. Whether it's masterminded from the top is a separate issue and often isn't. www.lbc.co.uk/article/corr...

Asking permission before you rob someone would kill the mugging industry.

There was a recent report of the Taliban charging Afghanis about 40 pounds in order to receive email threats from them. Those threats are to be used as evidence in asylum claims. Farage's plan to pay the Taliban to receive deportes could provide a lucrative cycle for them, upping migrant arrivals.

Spotted my seat in the picture. For those who don't know me, I have a really hot butt.

Therapeutically messing around with some #acid_techo #music #vinyl while I have the physical strength. Reckon I'll get some oxygen canisters and see if I can mix a bit more often.

It solely happened to you.

Maybe to the Russian-occupied parts?

That's what leaving the EU was about too.
