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."

And Then I Repeat…

   Upon awakening to the shocking ‘news’ of the train stabbings, I’m waiting for the ‘official’ translation of the incident once the damage limitation department has it sorted and it’s blamed on a catastrophic software error on a ticket inspectors ticket punching machine.
   May I humbly repeat myself? Thank you:
  Oh to live on an island with easily protected borders An island rich in deposits of coal, natural gas and oil
thus enabling the government to ensure the population they were elected to protect and serve, can live in safety and have secure, readily available, reasonably priced energy.

Quote; A K Haart.

“This soggy word salad is merely bureaucracy, nothing to do with the world beyond the bureaucratic bubble of meetings, resolutions, agendas, posturing, announcements, brochures, discussion papers, media briefings, logos, NGOs, quangos, lectures, strident finger-wagging, virtue peddling, overseas travel and more meetings. Then even more meetings.”

And Then Up…

   Well, so, it’s been on the ‘news’ today that income tax could go up a tad. With the oft reported current cost of living crisis, every little hurts.
   Don’t those up there ever think things through? Tax up so folk will be unable to buy stuff resulting in many shops wot sell stuff not ordering new stuff to sell and possibly shutting down. Obviously, the makers of stuff will see they’re no longer selling stuff to retailers so will cut back, or stop making stuff altogether, and also possibly shutting down.
   All this will result in ever more folk unemployed and thus ever more folk that can’t afford to buy stuff.
   So round and round and down and down we go we go, eh?
   The other item making headlines is the weather round the Caribbean with winds of 185 miles per hour. I wonder if the phrase they’re dropping for the sake of drama is, ‘...strong winds with gusts of up to 185 MPH’

“If you've got a billion dollars and you're ungrateful, you're a poor man. If you have very little but you're grateful for what you have, you're truly rich.”
