Drew to some. Andrew to others. It all depends on the radio era & station + the country and the need to disambiguate! 🇬🇧/🇧🇷 en-gb/pt-br Hello to all ex X! Nice to see you here.
Of course Reform also took a donation from a public figure who suggested "someone should kill" the Mayor of London.. who he calls "the Muslim mayor". Farage SUBSEQUENTLY (key chronology) asked him if he'd like to stand for the party.
Bonkers X feed wants Zia as Home Secretary. After holding a poll which wants him deported. So I guess he'll need to get straight on to deporting himself the moment he gets the job!
Half a century of advance warning. Undeniable patterns in recent years. Constant record breaking temperatures now. And somehow in 2026 this is the depth of commentary from a man who was in charge of government purse strings: "Clearly there's something going on with the weather"
This isn't well handled. Heartfelt condolences, but where's the acknowledgement of the author's role as the senior government official responsible for leading the executive department that oversees railway infrastructure management and safety? Where's the "what I'm doing" part??
Meanwhile, Vote Leave campaigners are shocked to discover "taking back control" doesn't mean they PERSONALLY get to control our borders! Andrew Rosindell campaigned to shut out the "nation as close to us as Poland!". Now it's "totally unthinkable!" (He also uses "could of" which makes me squirm.)
Leopards eating faces. Andrew Rosindell campaigned to close our borders to Polish people. Did he think he'd personally control who got in after Brexit? "totally unthinkable!" "a nation as close to us as Poland!" The Vote Leave lover who said "I don't think I could of (sic) made it any clearer"
Murdoch media calls it "Belfast 'Beheading' " in both social media text + on screen. I posted about the key difference the word "attempted" makes on X & received accusations of "pedantry" & "shame on" me. It would literally mean the victim had died at that time if true. How is it not significant?
Chaining of AI systems is possibly what will lead to the "killer-domino effect that ends civilisation"! I'm extrapolating (slightly!) but as an example: Google song recognition output gets fed straight into the search bar.. which gets fed into AI Mode [we didn't ask for] and leads to this madness:
I asked Gemini to analyse a biography for typos/repeats during a site refresh. It came back with changes that didn't relate at all to the text. It had used it as a starting point for 'creating' something around the 'idea' of what I' sent, then made recommendations on improving its OWN fake text!
I asked Gemini to analyse a biog for errors/repeats. It came back with changes that didn't relate at all to the text. It then revealed it had used it as a starting point for 'creating' something around the 'idea' of what I had sent, then made recommendations on improving its OWN fake text!
What happens when you point out to someone that calling to "ban Sharia Law" in the UK is a bit ridiculous when it isn't legal anyway:
Ah the tricks Murdoch's hacks play! Rayner & Farage both investigated. No outcome for Farage yet - ie. not yet in the clear. Rayner *cleared*. Presented to you as "inate corruption of left-wing establishment". Of course no mention of Tice 'TVKev's' on-screen wife at TalkTV = Tice's offshore wife
Where was the scrutiny back then? (Vic Derbyshire, Eddie Mair and you wouldn't have let him get away with this!) Marr looked like he had been told off by headmaster. It's really hard to imagine Starmer or any decent politician behaving like this, but.. will they have to, in order to look 'strong'?
I was listening to Andrew Marr go on about how "timid" Starmer is.. which is a bit rich, given that back when he was supposed to be the big political interviewer on BBC holding politicians to account, he just sat there taking blow after blow and moving along politely like there was nothing to say!
Curious how ITV News made their post look like it was saying "getting them to do the work" rather than what the story revealed.
GB News lamenting how many people simply don't go out any more.. with MP Andrew Griffith - former Chair of JUST EAT, whose business model depends on people staying home.
Quick example of racism for you.. This white guy who believes he can make comments about the woman's body.. But he also thinks that a black guy who does the same should be kicked out of the country.
I've got an assignment for Henry.. www.bbc.com/news/technol... Who knew that UK DAB signals depended on the US Air Force? 10 years since this happened and nobody _now_ seems to know whether it could happen again.. Nobody is asking those in power if UK radio could be taken off deliberately by USA!
Don't forget for next issue - Reform wants to see a portrait of the King in every school so children learn to respect the man Nigel Farage calls: "even more stupid than I thought" and about whom he says: "Charles has terrible judgement" "Perhaps he should just retire and talk to his plants"?
Meanwhile, less than a month after Suella called for an end to political indoctrination of schoolchildren:
