Honestly I think his strategy at the moment is just to offend as few people as possible while he waits and sees if Boris crashes and burns. It might work (maybe possibly) but will change nothing of any import and is extremely depressing.

I guess this is a policy from keith :sigh:
No surprise that the former DPP is in favour of criminalizing people for poo poo that doesn't matter.

Downing Street has expressed concern over moves to end the prosecution of young people caught with cannabis in some London boroughs, under a pilot scheme being developed by Sadiq Khan.

Both Downing Street and the Labour leader, Keir Starmer, said they did not endorse any further decriminalisation of drugs

Honestly that result in the Colston trial is loving incredible. Yet another reminder of how brilliant a jury based system is.

I'm sure Patel has an idea about how to deal with the issue of Activist Juries.

All according to plan I’m sure

Weird how the article mentions court cases related to :argh:Corbyn:argh: and not the 5 people represented by Carter-Ruck because forensic Starmer decided to accuse them of leaking that report.
Big lols if Labour goes bankrupt because they have to pay 5x Carter-Ruck costs.

"subverting the processes" is the only way anything ever happens in this country anyway, how would we notice the difference?

Please subvert the process in the correct way by giving the MP / their party lots of money, thank you.

1) why didn't the company storing the data have multiple backups?
2) if above, who the gently caress signed a contract with no backups?

Labour_membership_copy.xlsx in the same directory as Labour_membership.xlsx counts as a backup :science:

This has all the same energy of people tattling on idiots to their bosses trying to get them fired for saying whatever socially unacceptable thing and it makes me just as uncomfortable.

Like when people get caught on video making a racist rant in a coffee shop or whatever, then get fired for it? Because that's very good energy.

The Wikipedia article has all you really need (as long as you fully absorb it) - the one thing that's almost never mentioned in discussion of her is the simple fact that as a single woman in the early 20th century there were almost no jobs that could keep her off the streets, and cooking was the only one she could actually do. But that's the key thing that takes it from a simple "Bad woman lock her up" situation to probably one the most important cases in public health (and wider arguments about liberty versus authority).

Seems like they could have achieved the same thing as quarantine if they just paid her a wage to do nothing, which would be a lot cheaper than prison.

Glad things have moved on since then.

It definitely was automation, and in the sense most people use the word "AI", in that they managed to take the work of thousands of people and instead turn it into something done by a single person in a little box. I'm only surprised they've not (yet) tried to outsource the crane driver and traffic control jobs to the Philippines.

Automated container terminals already exist so they don't need to bother outsourcing.
