I think Transactual put it best (in reference to the girl guides) and now Labour too:
"There is no problem being solved here, only harm being done."
All to appease the right, who hate them anyway - shame on them.

‘have you tried ID cards yet?’
Remember when Britain voted for Tony Blair? It was twenty years ago, so the public are entitled to ask why the fuck this malicious clown’s opinion on anything is relevant now.

Every AI related meeting I’ve attended has involved a ‘pros/cons’ activity where colleagues present a litany of unspeakable horrors as the cons and then one person says ‘yes but it did give me an inaccurate recipe for apple crumble’

Jfc. How much evidence do the education trade unions need to stop talking about ‘safe implementation’ and start organising against this.
I really hope I’m in an AI booster meeting at the exact moment the bubble bursts.

Maybe Streeting should instead look into why doctors have started to diagnose something called ‘shit life syndrome’, consider what its causes might be, and then work towards some solutions
(first being he immediately resigns)
(first being he immediately resigns)
Considering Streeting's well stated belief autism, ADHD etc, along with mental health issues, are "overdiagnosed", I won't hold my breath for this doing anything other than being used to cut support, along with opportunities for diagnosis, for people who need it. #r4today
