“Sometimes you have to prioritise the intelligence that will save us over the biology that slows us down”
The rich will stop at nothing to steal basic resources from everyone else. They think AI will save us all and they don’t care how many people they need to sacrifice to do it
This should destroy Nigel Farage’s entire political argument.
Net migration has collapsed from 944,000 to around 204,000, yet voters still think it’s rising because Reform and Farage have spent years feeding Britain hysteria instead of facts.
Asylum seekers are only about 9% of immigration, not the “invasion” constantly screamed about.
The NHS was broken by underfunding.
Housing was broken by austerity.
Wages were crushed by corporate greed.
Migrants were the distraction. Not the cause.
Almost 10,000 likes for straight-up lies by Annunziata Rees-Mogg, quote:
"Asylum seekers make up 0.08% of Dorset's population and 44% of alleged sex offences. So unbelievable I had to check. It's true."
It's not true, it's utter garbage.
I'll go through facts and figures. /1
Hahahahah! Just seen this on FB:

Have you found yourself in the hideous position of having a Reform councillor?
Here’s how you can help your brand new councillor settle into local government properly: email them this week with an actual council problem to solve.
Got rubbish piling up? Email them.
Bus vanished from existence? Email them.
Streetlights dead? Email them.
Care package delayed? Email them.
Pavement like the Somme? Email them.
Send them in by the hundred. Make sure they’re made very clear on what their job is.
Being a councillor is not standing in front of the Union flag shouting about dinghies on GB News. It’s reading committee papers at midnight, attending meetings nobody enjoys, holding surgeries in church halls, and dealing with the endlessly glamorous world of drains, social care budgets and recycling disputes.
Welcome to local government.
The boats are in Kent. The bins are in your ward.
The email address for your ward councillor can be found on your local council website as soon as it’s updated.
Feel free to copy and paste to share wider.
Crazy isn't it Jeremy Corbyn's Labour party had an 'antisemitism crisis' and now Zack Polanski's Green Party does.
While Nigel Farage's Reform party, with Nigel Farage and loads of Nazi lovers, doesn't.
It's like it's some kind of scam used against Left Wing parties.
When you see the relentless attacks from other parties on the Greens across the media remember this:
They hate our plan to end Rip Off Britain.
They don't want a wealth tax.
They don't want public ownership & lower bills.
They're trying everything in their power to stop us.
Eddie Howe adamant yesterday he could change and adapt to survive / thrive again at #nufc. But today's team has a 'what I know' feel about it: Murphy, Burn at LB, Osula over out of favour record signing Woltemade.
With PIF & ownership present, cannot afford to underwhelm again
How the world works in a nutshell: giant corporations profit from an illegal war whilst the governments who wage them tell the rest of us to tighten our belts.
The stench of *kale*?! Written by a man who said he couldn't be trusted to work in schools because he admits to being a predator? A man who assaulted his pregnant partner? We should be asking why violent misogynists are still being given a public platform.
As well as every away end being full this season - last time out Wor Flags spent two weeks unpaid putting up a massive display, encouraged early entry and the fans obliged - only for our players to jog back in a derby.
Not the fans’ job to get them motivated. It’s yours.

Sunderland have dropped points against every side they've faced twice this season, except Newcastle United.
Newcastle were gifted the lead at St James' Park, and still squandered it.
22 points dropped from winning positions.
That's on the manager, and he knows it.
Absolutely no belief, no pride, no fight, no bravery, no creativity, no game management...nothing of any note in that second half. One of the most tepid and depressing halves of football I've ever seen us play #NUFC
