He of the eponymous law. FRSA. Good at writing and sums. Degrowther, and not a fan of capitalism. Your pal. The Eye of Sauron, but for headlines. Made by socialism and immigration, which seems to annoy people. Come for the headlines, stay for the Gramsci.

I used the same prompt with the latest Gemini, and it gave me this. It’s still not 100% accurate (it misses 1998, repeats 2010, which knocks the order out). But it’s much closer, and no spelling mistakes. I could probably get it to do it correctly with a couple more iterations.
