The right approach

Should we be afraid of A.I? The Governor of the Bank of England has assured us that his bank and the National Cyber Security Centre will keep us safe. How? By working ‘at speed’ not ‘at pace’ to make it so.

Better qualified

It is being argued that Thievin Reeves should have been made the replacement Housing Minister, not the failed tax evader Angular Robot.
    Just think of all the foundations Thievin built when she was wrecking the economy, is the proposition on offer.

No different

Another leg, just as dead. No danger of Labour paying for the unnecessary election for a cosmetic mayor of Manchester forced on the public pocket by the previous incumbent lying about serving his full term.

Gasp!

Was that really 190 degrees the weather lady said before the lunchtime TV news? Or was it just my cloth ears in the next room being plonkers?

And so it goes on

An Albanian drug dealer and bogus refugee escaped deportation when he came out of gaol due to a defective immigration court ruling, which was binned ages later following an appeal by the Home Sec.
    Lotz of cash for the lawyers and no defective judge sacked or sent for retraining? No eviction of the bloke yet, of course.

Friday Nite Football

The Alouettes travelled to the nation’s capital on a beautiful night. The Als got close, on to a TD. The winless RedBlacks got inside the 10, held to a FG, 7-3. Inside the 5 for the Als, on to a TD.
    The RB drove into Q2, from the MA 1 on penalties, TD, 14-10. A TD back at them by the Als. Just a FG as the half ran down, 24-10. 3rd down at the MA 2, penalty, FG, 24-13.
    In Q3, the RB got to the MA 5, stopped.  TD the other way in the 10th minute. The Als stopped the RB when close on another 3rd down at the end of the quarter.
    Philpot got his 1,000 yards receiving on the way to a FG by the Als, 34-13. More Alexander to Philpot, no more scoring.

Just a bit late

The police in north London are trying to trace a thug who was wearing a lobster suit when he clobbered a young bloke and put him in hospital. This happened outside the venue for the World Darts Championship seven months ago!!
    Sounds like a lost cause to me.

Pity me

Isn’t it amazing how polyticians can always comes up with a sob story? Things that normal people can cope with because that’s life are always transformed into ‘poor little me’ stuff when a politico has a hand thrust out for donations.

It’s wot they do

Nice to see the world of astronomy rallying round the Jodrell Bank Observatory after the Labour lot cut off its funding to buy benefits votes.

Hot spot

Mallorca is a good place to go to watch protests against tourism pick fights with police; with tempers shortened by the hot weather. Just don’t look like a tourist if you want to avoid being clobbered by the locals.

Instant justice

“Here, catch that,” says the gym bully, throwing a barbell at his victim, who is knocked onto his back. Imagine the bully’s sense of shock and terror if his victim struggled to his feet, produced a handgun and put a bullet in each of the scumbag’s thighs. Why do you never see something like that in a TV drama?

Exported wealth

Labour is turning millionaires into an endangered species in the UK. Tax & waste policies have reduced their numbers to the lowest level since the Brown & Burnbum “eyes off the ball” financial crisis in 2008.

Not as advertised

You expect a heat wave to involve relentless sunshine but today started off sunny but we kept being clouded over more or less at random through the morning. And sun and no sun in alternation looks like the recipe for the day. We’re clearly located somewhere the panic mongers would prefer to ignore.
