It already happened! We already had an election won by a buffoon with a platform of very obvious lies and fraud while the entire system screamed abuse at his opponents as traitors and horked up dubious legal cases against them. Our institutions have been packed with malignant wingnuts for years!

Morning thoughts about "AI".
Where do we go from here?
Where do we go from here?
![Thoughts about “AI”
Yes it’s:
The slop
The theft
The brainrot
The loss of work
The crumbling of creator rights
The destroying of the environment and infrastructure
But it's also the destroying of trust in anything that you’re not seeing with your own eyes right in front of you.
Wonder now turned to the narrowing of eyes in immediate scepticism seeing something magical.
Questioning the realness of everything from a stilted written apology to profound works by students in school.
It feels like a slow poison to creativity and humanity at large.

The diplomatic "achievement" of the ceasefire was to recalibrate the tempo of the genocide sufficiently to get it off the front pages and the news bulletins, thus alleviating the political pressure on Israel's western accomplices.

I get why the Beeb is concerned about doing this. They don't think the country has their backs. They don't think the government does. They may even have been told, quietly, that they won't get support from Downing Street.

Serious howls of outrage in the media this morning at what is a relatively modest Budget from Labour that does nothing more than fiddle around the margins.
It does highlight the missed opportunity. If you’re going to get this reaction anyway, why not at least get it for attempting a big swing?

The UK Right is already shifting to the language of "remigration" in emulation of trends in the US and German Far Right. If migration numbers generally and small boat numbers specifically decline then the demands from Farage through to Philp to mass deport the "wrong kind of people" will get louder
Whole issue - at least electorally and rhetorically - is such a moving target. Does make you wonder what the anti-migration folk will focus on next if, by some miracle of miracles, a UK government were ever to actually 'Stop the Boats'.
Net migration fell sharply agaim to 204,000 in the year to June 2025, having been 344k in 2024 and 848k in 2023. But falling immigration has been the biggest secret - and it is time for the media and political debate to catch up with this change
