"a fall in net migration of 300,000 a year would increase the deficit by about £20 billion. The government are already having to make unpopular tax rises and spending cuts in the upcoming budget, but would have to make more if the deficit increases."
The coming collapse in immigration to the United Kingdom - UK in a changing Europe
James Bowes analyses the fall in net migration to the UK as a result of government policies and explores some of the political and economic consequences.

Hot take - even as a joke, I don't really like the idea of ppl blaming interns for taking down production
Even on the chance it happened to be true (and there are definitely cases where it wasn't an intern), if an intern was able to do that, that's a problem with the processes and systems in place

yes but you'd also get 20% of the vote for speaking like a nazi without publicly identifying as one
You'd get done for showing a swastika here in Germany. Or any other nazi emblem. Quite rightly so.
🚨 Swastika Nazi strikes trans
woman after she films his swastika.
📍 WinCo @ Citrus Heights, CA.

He shakes in line for 3.5 minutes before leaving.
Incident report will be released this evening.

A great way to fight back against AI taking away work from creatives is to buy art by actual humans.

If you’re thinking, what can we do? Well, I’ll tell you one thing you can do: look at the patterns of the past and then REJECT the next big disruptive technology that comes along and seems like an “emperor has no clothes situation.”

Great article on why nazis love AI Art. No longer do memes and communicating agenda require nazis to have a single creative worker in their corner willing to sign off on a hideous vision of society, AI offers direct brain-worms-to-audience communication newsocialist.org.uk/transmission...
