Councils are keen to approve planning for warehouses because it drives employment. But it's the shittiest min wage transient work. Nobody does it unless they've no choice. These places are more like prisons. They definitely aren't economic and social catalysts that councils want.

Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

To be fair it’s going to be very funny when these clowns invent AGI and the super intelligent machine tells everyone to get offline, avoid processed food, stroll in the woods, seek community, eschew racism, pay high marginal rates of tax and ignore the ravings of deranged billionaires.

Nigel, what’s your view?

Absolutely!
7
PRESENTER:
Funnily enough, this is what your new show’s about, isn’t it?
