- Comment on Why solar panels in the UK are inseparable from Chinese slave labour: Experts say Britain should follow other countries and take tougher stance 12 hours ago:
I hope the Uyghur Muslims realise how lucky they are having Mudorch’s London Times newspaper fighting their cause . Their tireless work to stand up for the workers of world, the oppressed and downtrodden for all corners of the globe, is noble indeed .
It shall remain a mystery then, why the Times and to a greater extent Murdocks other titles, made such a fuss about the removal of a mere statue, that of Edward Colston, (an enthusiastic slave trader from the 16th century) during the BLM protests of 2020.

Yes. I like his work, but this is rather glib - and as you point out, not at all representative of how people felt and feel about the Zx81.

- Comment on Tusk: 500 million Europeans ask 300 million Americans to protect them from 140 million Russians 4 weeks ago:
The people who put Trump in office, at great expense, are the people who make money of selling arms. If arms sales go down, they will be unhappy and the president will be advised, his support will be reduced unless arms sales resume.
If a country stopped buying arms, and also stopped by American oil and gas, pressure on the US government increases : no more donations if the big corporations are locked out of certain markets.
Historically, those actions - or their equivalents - have been more enough to get the US sniffing around for other leaders for that country, who more amenable to US interests, and covertly supporting them.
So this country is no longer buying US arms, nor US oil. It might then decide that it no longer needs to work in the US dollar, switch the Euro or Yuan, weakening the standing of the USD as the world global reserve currency.
This would be enough to get them a delivery of Freedom & Democracy by the US Military, or at least coup or assassination.
If it sounds far fetched, the US did this to Chile, Cuba, Argentina, Venezuela, Iraq and Ukraine where they have been interfering with elections for a decade or more

- Comment on Firefox deletes promise to never sell personal data, asks users not to panic | Mozilla says it deleted promise because "sale of data" is defined broadly 4 weeks ago:
Mozilla is funded by google to promote the search . But how much longer are they gonna pay if no one uses it ?
- Comment on Firefox deletes promise to never sell personal data, asks users not to panic | Mozilla says it deleted promise because "sale of data" is defined broadly 4 weeks ago:
It is concerning - because Firefox barely has enough users to sustain it.
If no one takes on the development of Gecko, we’re in the soup. It’s the only alternative to blink and WebKit. Tor relies on it .

Last thing the government need is people using social media to realise we have more in common than differences, which social media naturally does.
So it’s managed.

- Comment on Working-class creatives don’t stand a chance in UK today, leading artists warn 5 weeks ago:
Standard Guardian pearl clutching.
Here is the reality :
posh people do arts because they can afford to do it, and not have to earn. This has been the case for hundreds of years and private school has nothing to do with it.
The chances of making a living in the arts for anyone outside London, is next to zero. So to ignore the facts it’s enormously London centric kills any credibility .
Perhaps also consider what qualifies Andy Haldane, career economist at the Bank of England, to magically transfer his bean counting talent, into top job I. The Arts as chair of the RSA .
And then consider the only workers strike in its 270 year history took place on his watch .
