- Comment on Keir Starmer in crisis as Labour drops to 16% in devastating new poll 2 weeks ago:
Well at least the Greens are polling relatively high. Hope that trend grows now with new leader + possible collapse of Corbyn/Sultana.
- Comment on Paper and mobile train tickets to be replaced with GPS tracking in new travel trial 5 weeks ago:
TfW have also implemented this in every station in the South Wales metro area. Works pretty well and it is so much cheaper than paper ticketing.
Not sure why this won’t be able to be used in England too. Sometimes I think that some in government just push for the new shiny tech thing (be it AI, GPS…), without considering how applicable it would be.
- Comment on Apple launches legal challenge to UK ‘back door’ order 7 months ago:
Tulsi Gabbard, US director of national intelligence, said tapping Americans’ data would be an “egregious violation” of privacy that risked breaching the two countries’ data agreement.
A bit rich coming from America after what we found out after the Snowden whistleblowing.
- Comment on Camping with the far-right: What I learned from a year undercover 8 months ago:
The documentary is a good watch. It is scary to see how the PA members think their views are normal. e.g. saying something along the lines of “everyone thinks this…” after saying something abhorrent.
- Comment on Strongest storm in generations predicted as Éowyn to hit UK and Ireland 8 months ago:
Are you nearby to it at least? The last big one in December they had the emergency warning zone a fair bit bigger than the actual red area to account for people travelling. Which does make sense considering people will commute up to 50 miles or so, plus inaccuracies from phone masts covering a large area.
