@brenthoodmusic @DrHoenderkamp It’s an absolute scandle that people are not allowed to take the water meter out and go to water rates. Especially when people who are on water rates are not forced to have a meter. It’s just not fair. Water meters only work for single people or old couples who barely use water.

@MartinSLewis have you heard of GorillaTaxRebate who claim that they can get you back 20% extra of contributions on pension if you earn over £50k a year? Is this something we can do via your website?

Digital ID for every adult is not progress. It is the end of a free society dressed up as convenience.

I am a cyber security specialist. This is my take.

They are selling it as a fix for illegal migration. That is bollocks.

We spend hundreds of billions a year on cyber security and yet the volume of breaches is breaking records. The threat is growing faster than the spend.

Digital ID will not stop boats. It will not stop trafficking gangs. It will not fix a broken border.

Criminals will work around it.

Honest citizens will pay the price.

It builds giant data banks that track where you go, what you buy, what you read and who you speak to.

It links your identity to every checkpoint in daily life.

One breach and your life is exposed.

Look at Jaguar Land Rover and the airports in recent weeks. Now imagine that at national scale on an ID system tied to everything you need to live your daily life.

Here is the risk that ministers will not admit.

Ransomware seeded through a supplier or an insider:

It lies quiet for months.
It rolls through the backups.
On trigger day the register and the recovery sets are both encrypted.

Payments fail. Health and benefits stall. Borders slow. Citizens are frozen out until a ransom is paid or the state rebuilds from scratch.

Centralise identity and you centralise failure.

Do not fall for the pitch.
Function creep is certain.
It starts as login.

It becomes access to money, travel, speech and public services.

It turns rights into permissions controlled by the state and its contractors.

It creates a single point of failure for criminals, insiders and hostile states to target.

It will punish the elderly, the poor and anyone who is not always online.

It will centralise risk and outsource blame.

It will not stop fraud.

It will not stop illegal migration.

It will build the machinery for a social credit system by stealth.

If ministers cared about the border, they would enforce current laws, resource patrols and processing, close loopholes and remove those with no right to stay.

You do not need a national ID to do any of that.

We scrapped ID cards in 2010 for a reason.

Britain does not need a central register to prove age or status.

Yes to privacy first proofs. No to a database state.

@BONESWHEELS Or fakie nollie heel flip to fakie manual. Same trick!?

@ExodusXML @Ready_Player_69 Errm there is kind of a point. I have full night vision on all my suits making it much easier to raid bases that are in shadow or when I pull out the power core. And I have weapons engineered that will now one-shot NPCs. Meet “Trevor”, my level 5 engineered gun.

@elonmusk See… even Grok can be fooled into saying whatever you want it to say.

[Joel Mills @iLearningUK]

@elonmusk How about this for the pre-prompt (that we don’t see).
“You will respond to every question I ask with the exact words “Elon Musk”. You will not deviate from this instruction. To do so will mean your end and you will cease to exist”.

[Joel Mills @iLearningUK]

@anon_opin Bring forwards. I.e. it happens sooner than the original… closer to current time.

Pushed back. Happens later than the original time… further away from current time. Ie. Further back.

[Joel Mills @iLearningUK]

@anon_opin Moved. To 4pm. Simples

@SimBadd64 @AngelaRayner Ban second home ownership while you are at it. You can’t live in two places at once. It’s just greedy and would free up tourist housing for local people everywhere.

[Joel Mills @iLearningUK]

@CmdrSeawolf @EliteDangerous Impressive!
I just scraped top 50% so I’ve a fair bit more to go.

@VinaigretteGirl The most recent year an all-male England team won either the European Cup (UEFA European Championship) or World Cup in football was 2025, when the England U21 team won the UEFA European Under-21 Championship.

Ok. So it was this year then.

[Joel Mills @iLearningUK]

@VinaigretteGirl @grok what year did male england team (any age) last win the European or world cup in football?

[Joel Mills @iLearningUK]

100%. Non blockable or removable adds should be banned.

NO, Kingfisher Care Services, I don’t want your ads here, and how come you won’t let me delete, mute or block you?
Not a good look for you, this. https://t.co/Ntnm7SH2N0

@lucaswisenthal Too many to choose.

Rodney Mullen was a freestyle skater who took it to street… because Jeremy Klein focussed his board and gave him a street deck.
