The Home Secretary says "we have become the destination of choice in Europe, clearly visible to every people smuggler and would-be illegal migrant across the world"
That is a factually untrue claim: the Home Office shows that the UK is fifth, getting 1/10 claims, while Germany gets 1/5 claims

The Labour Government reeling off the same far-right talking points on immigration. And look who is celebrating. The far-right.
There is a political alternative that won’t ever scapegoat those fleeing war, persecution and torture

People who put the empty wrappers back in the tin of Quality Street (or whatever) should be skinned alive

That was the plan. The oligarchy wants to kill the poor.
One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

There's so much nonsense talked about Just Stop Oil.
The truth is:
- The protests they carry out have been shown to be the most cost-effective in history. They really work to draw attention and approval from the public. Their backers only fund what works.

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

It’s not just the Artists whose work gets used that needs to be paid for. Every model in the art should be paid for; every piece of art on a wall; logos; pets; home interiors; tattoos; music being played in the background; …
This is what companies have to pay for now. Why should AIs be exempt.

feels like yet again time to mention that the *videogames* industry (that's a creative industry, which people do creative degrees in) brings in more than twice the amount to the British economy as the fishing and steel industries *combined*
I cannot understand what these people think the purpose of human life is?
It is *not* "pursue joy, deal justly, love well, try to understand as much and see as much of this beautiful world and of the deepness, richness and variety of human culture and experience as you can before you die"?

How is this repeatedly made into a policy issue - by *all* parties - when the blunt fact of the matter is that grown adults who are obliged to pay for their own education, and relentlessly pursued to repay their loans, should be able to study whatever the fuck they want.

Artists should be able to enforce normal licenses against AI companies: no use without a license, limited terms, terms set by rights holder, no use after terms end.
This is what every company has had to do up until now. It is what has kept artists housed and fed.
Meta should be prosecuted.
