Will we send the driverless car to prison if a malfunction causes a fatal accident ?

Who will be responsible when a driverless car car causes a fatal accident ? London will strongly resist this .

"Privatisation is a failed experiment which takes all our money and pays it out to shareholders."

Do we pay enough tax for good Public Services?

Can you see the problem?

They are not Public, so they will never be good no matter how much you spend.

Excellent points from Ash Sarkar on #bbcqt - privatisation and private equity involvement in what should be public services are bleeding our country dry.

A terrific AFP fact check uses reverse image searches to expose how a White House video took scenes from Florida, Texas, South Carolina and Nebraska and lied that they showed "Chicago is in chaos."

You highlight the current Achilles heel of the current Labour party their paltry turnouts of street smart activists for street work are pathetic But disagree on social media its key to getting the message across to a wider audience and Corbyn used it effectively as LOTO and Zarah is quite adept.

Gar_eth @garmobile.bsky.social · 18h

You have to admit they are keeping it all pretty quiet ? In spite of what the establishment would have people believe Corbyn was very popular unafraid to face people on the streets and trusted by many people and 3 years to go before either Corbyn or The Greens are tested in a GE.

Gar_eth @garmobile.bsky.social · 18h

I am not anti Your Party I used to donate to Labour under Corbyn just frustrated 😉 seems to be a lot happening below the surface and btw politically similar goals to the Greens

Green Party level with the Labour Party for the first time.

Let’s see if the media give the Greens as much coverage as they gave Farage when he didn’t even have MPs.

You have a point but newshounds love good copy and even more if they can put a negative spin on it. Greens to legalise Drugs! when you drill down and provide a logical explanation addicts need to be treated as patients not criminals and it would reduce the petty crime supporting addiction.

"Polanski slammed” reports the Daily Express. The person doing that “slamming” is, err, Daily Express journalist Carole Malone.

And the reason? Because I want us to follow a science led public health approach to regulate drug use.

Polanski slammed over bid to legalise drugs

All the press reporters have handed in their press badges to the Pentagon, even Fox propaganda News handed in their press badges. The regime is losing control. We the People are fighting back. The regime is going to increase the violence to try to get us back down. Don't stop the resistance.

They lie about the ECHR.
Just like they lied about Brexit. Claiming if we just got rid of that ‘European’ thing, we’d be free, we’d have control, all our problems solved…
It’s NOT TRUE.
We’d inflict more chaos on ourselves and torch our own human rights framework for NOTHING.
For liars.
Again.

Typical hysterical shouty response from Malone, with no experience of the problems and unprepared to listen to any point of view other than her own. Zacks point those already addicted to hard drugs need to be treated as patients by the NHS rather than criminalised.
