@scratchcardpro@DanielJHannan There are pretty obvious reasons to think they will be safer and cheaper.
Look, I've had enjoyable chats with cabbies but it's a bit strong to say that automation would dehumanise and atomise society. Replacing manual labour with machines absolutely is progress.
@coglet@jeremycorbyn The invasion of the USSR was disastrous because Britain and America were supplying them with weapons. If Britain was neutral, Hitler probably wins. Japan might have been getting oil from us and the Dutch, so quite possibly no Pearl Harbor.
It is absurd that we live in a country that is enthusiastic to arrest people for tweets, but seemingly unable to unplug Steve Bray’s amplifier whenever a Prime Minister resigns.
There’s a legitimacy to people shouting at the end of Downing Street.
But amplifying your voice or music with a massive speaker? Piss off.
What will Keir Starmer be remembered for? For me, it’s a toss up between saying “sausages” instead of “hostages” and getting bollocked by a teacher for doing the 6-7 with school kids.
