@TheFreds Bus drivers should be given tools to defend themselves.

@nqocahnn_ Never give up.

@skdh Like the splitting of the atom, there will be huge ramifications. We have a technology that currently has no easy political solution. There currently is no political system that can handle it.

@JOBhakdi The UK’s devolved countries are essentially Marxist satellite entities at present.

@JohnSmi06888284 @RupertLowe10 “Wouldn’t stand a chance” was too strong. My point was diplomatic: damaging relations with the US risks weakening deterrence and giving Argentina an opening to press its claim. I wasn’t trying to compare military inventories.

@LeilaniDowding I've had a few confrontations in Blackpool with some of these people. They drive the horses right between the two lanes of traffic, often at night.

@DillonLoomis Also, people are desperate to invest in humanoids, and Optimus is in production.

I am bewildered, and not very impressed, by the visceral, naked, irrational hatred spat out by some defenders of Jason Arday. If a Cambridge professor is accused of being an unqualified charlatan, the accusation might be racially motivated. On the other hand it might not, depending on the evidence. The correct question to ask is not, ”What is the colour of his skin” but “Is it in fact true that he is an unqualified charlatan?” Please examine the evidence before leaping to the assumption of racism.
As for the idea that journalists “piled in on him” and “hounded him to his death”, most attacks were against Cambridge University. Jason himself was widely regarded as an unfortunate victim of foolish promotion way beyond his ability to cope. In appointing him to a professorship for which he was manifestly unqualified – in ludicrously describing him as “the best in the world” – certain senior members of the university showed a level of patronising condescension towards black people that could fairly be described as racism, while at the same time making him tragically vulnerable to such attacks as came his way.
