File under ‘D’ for Discard
Goes with the choice
Are we surprised to be told that young people who work at home and spend ages messing about on the interweb experience loneliness and mental elf ishues? Aaaah, nope.
Crypto-crackers
The North Koreans are getting the blame for hacking the world’s largest crypto treasure chest and strolling off with $6.3 billion in imaginary cash.
North Korea is like Labour on steroids. It has little in the way of industry and relies on what it can scrounge to survive.
Toxic colour fades
Green grotter members and councillors have been dropping out of Mr. Alias’ party at a fair rate since its conference declared supporting a Jewish state in Palestine is rachelist.
Labour lockjaw
The ’uman bluddy rights industry is expecting to make a bomb out of Angrier Robot’s miles of red tape aimed at wolf-whistling builders. There will be compulsory courses on their conduct for employees on top of stonking fines on employers.
Another way ahead
If the scrounger nations want cash, they can always apply to the IMF for a loan and pay interest. Which might make them think carefully about how the money is spent. Unless they have a Labour-clone government, of course.
