Call centre worker here. I record a tally when the customer, before providing their email address, state 'all in lower case'. No Doreen, your email address is case-insensitive. Highest count in a day is 24. We need to educating the UK public.

Another reminder - because far too many people don't seem to know it - this guy tried to *PREVENT* war crimes investigations. The only whistle he tried to blow was his own.

Why some of you held him up as some kind of heroic figure makes my brain bleed.

years ago everyone shit their pants over deepfake of Obama but the real problem wasn't realistic generated content, it was dogshit slop shown to a fucking moron that any moderately intellectually competent person would see as fake immediately.

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

dont think they have any PHEV here. They've gone all-in on the US market with inline hybrids that are basically just superchargers for more power rather than anything to reduce emissions.

even their hybrid stuff is half arsed. A few years ago you went on a wait list of up to a year for a RAV4, now you wouldn't buy one because its among the worst in class.

The ageing fellas at the news desk have such a boner for a strong, young white man in politics they are going to will Hastie to the top of the pile whether we like it or not.

Opinion piece in the 9Papers:

Hastie's got the right stuff but one obsession may fast-track or derail his ambitions
By Peter Hartcher
October 11, 2025 - 5.00am
"The train coming down the tracks isn't the one that you expected. It's not the one advertised on the board," says actor Benedict Cumberbatch playing the role of a pro-Brexit strategist.
"Well, tough," he says. "It isn't even the one that I imagined. But I accept it. And you can't stop it," he says in the 2019 movie Brexit: The Uncivil War in the persona of the notorious Dominic Cummings, adviser to Boris Johnson.
"There is a new politics in town. One that you cannot control."

Article extract:

As he read his charter letter from his leader, Sussan Ley, setting out his duties as opposition home affairs spokesman, he realised he would have no part in immigration policy - opposition immigration spokesman Paul Scarr, not Hastie, would "lead" and "develop" the policy. Hastie practised his personal policy of a
48-hour cooling off before making any major decision.
At this point, a more typical politician would accept the ruling, but then begin a quiet campaign of leaking and undermining against the leader. Hastie did not.
He was careful to take counsel with a handful of trusted allies, including only two Liberal MPs, so that he couldn't be accused of "doing the
numbers" as a prelude to a leadership challenge.
He told the most trusted of his trusted circle, his wife, Ruth, that he'd have to take a 25 per cent pay cut if he went ahead with the resignation. She rejoined that the family budget would simply have to adjust.
