Would it apologize for lying if you accused it even when it found the correct email? Interesting thing to try, I'd guess it would, more often than not

He probably shouldn't have licked Trump's shoes while he was down there. Big mistake, bad optics

Yep I should have stuck with Alta vista

Maybe they could have called him a liar a lot more because it's true?

Do we always have to run a disclaimer about how an Israeli target is bad before we are allowed to criticize Israel?

Yep, and my initial reaction was why? That sort of upper house in the UK would be meaningless, just another bunch of people to vote for. That could be fun for a pollster (the original poster) but not the rest of us.
Anyway, it won't happen, it will be met by screams of terror from the media

Originally, of course, that democracy that HoL was limiting wasn't extended to many people.
The UK should really be unicameral like NZ. Both countries have very similar structures with weak regional organizations.

That though is typical of federal systems, where states are given more equal importance than their population would suggest
comment in response to
post
Ok that's a fair point. My general view is that bicameral governance expresses different levels of power, which is typically the case for federal systems. The UK has an upper chamber stuffed with unelected elites whose purpose was originally to restrain democracy.

The powers of the senate derive from the importance of the states, otherwise that power would never have been granted. There is no equivalence in the UK. The UK is, in practice, unicameral because there is no other power but Westminster
comment in response to
post
Except that states aren't constituencies. And constituencies have far less power than states.
comment in response to
post
It is because the senators represent states that have real power. If you had a senate here, it would be for show. What's the point?

But Australia is a federal system. To import the Canberra model, you'd have to reorganize the UK completely.

Maybe Elton and Dua should have given Kier some nice clothes or a few concert tickets. That's the going price for the PM

Well if you're going to die, you might as well chuck something a bit more lethal, right?

Baroness Casey is an interesting one on Wikipedia. She's got a long history of running orgs, but seems to have a simmering and low level hatred towards the people those orgs are supposed to help. Much like the Rochdale police, in fact

Your comparing two things that haven't happened and saying one is better than the other. It isn't 100% convincing

The right hand graph is a projection of what might happen 3 or 4 years from now if the labour party doesn't change it's mind again.

This is right, but also we aren't arming Iran so opinions about it matter a lot less

A lot of this is the who gives a fuck effect. Did shaggy have an Adams apple? Yeah, sure, whatever. Do KitKats have a hyphen? I guess.
Probably more interesting is how the question structure predisposed people to say one thing rather than the other

The director of ddu stood for the Brexit party and the delightful Steven Pollard is amongst the advisors. No info on funding as that would give the game away.

Modern border controls only started after ww1, prior to that many people travelled or emigrated without passports or much control, so he's just flat wrong, never mind his dank little watch thing

They want to sell it to govt because they aren't making a profit on private sales. And no profit on private sales because it doesn't really work. No end of hype though.

Look, if the AI companies aren't making a profit in the open market on that basis, how will they save money for governments?

You mean expenditure and lack of profit? Give ed zitron a follow.

They've spent a huge amount on AI with no realistic prospect of getting it back. They need someone stupid with deep pockets to cover this. Step up the Labour Party! It's not just corrupt, it's a con as well.
