And Then Sorry…

   ...for my prolonged absence but I’ve been bombarded by real{?} world things to do.
   I see the budget, put together by that lady wot runs that failing whelk stall just down the road, isn’t going down very well. Seems the only winners are those with abundant babbys, paid for by us.
   You spot wot could be the outcome of this? Remember that scam-demic? Remember them building that never used Nightingale Hospital? I’m betting that in the near future, after folk have done the maths - with help - on the financial gains possible with more babbies, we’re going to need a Nightingale in every town and city in the country to act as maternity wards.

And Then, Sorry…

   ...for pinching this from the comments over at Going Postal yesterday but I just couldn’t help myself. Apologies to all concerned - especially the originator; a classic.
   Is this not a perfect sum up of wot we’re up against right now or wot?

And Then Poor BBC…

   I see our proud seekers of truth at the BB-Calamity are in a bit of bother over ‘fake’ reporting. Again. Is this the death knell of our beloved ‘news’ channels? I mean how will so many millions of us wypipo start the day without checking this wondrous BBC site paid for by you and me for stuff like this;
“Donald Trump don announce say US no go attend di G20 summit for South Africa on top one widely discredited claims say dem dey oppress white pipo for di kontri.”
   Anyhoo, I’m sure that site will be getting ever more popular here as the demographic changes year by year; nay, month by month. 

   Looking on the bright side I see ‘I’m A Celebrity{?} Get Me Out Of Here’ is due to return to our televisual receiving devices soon. How exciting is that then? No? Oh.

Quote; Amit Ray.

“In this era of fake news and paid news artificial intelligence is more and more used as a political tool to manipulate and dictate common people, through big data, biometric data, and AI analysis of online profiles and behaviours in social media and smart phones. But the days are not far when AI will also control the politicians and the media too."
