Questions need asking, was there a notice up informing the public that flags could not be put on the barriers? If not why not, are people just supposed to know. If yes then why did the police not just ask the people Ito hold the flags in their hands i'm sure the would have had no problem with that.
This is total bullshit (not Diego's post) but not able to display the Union Flag or England Flag in our own country. It's a ****ing disgrace that Cruella should be talking about, not about taking tents off people who are homeless. Other Nations flags, fair enough, that's a political display. You try telling a yank to take his flag down in America and the **** would shoot you.
5’ 10”, 11st 4lb... you should stop digging, you already cannot see out of the hole and your arse is in it.
They're best just ignored. They're just a coward trying to disrupt the thread because they're afraid that conversations break out as they invariably highlight their ignorance and hypocrisy. You can smell the fear in their posts.
I state one fact and then you try to repudiate it with a link to a totally different fact that I never mentioned. Our vaccine did still have to go through the authorisation testing process – just like any other vaccine or any other drug is required to do. I never stated otherwise. But you still have to have something to test in the first place. While the EU dithered about collectively funding vaccine research and spreading the money around so that it seemed fairly distributed, we did not join in with that failed approach and simply threw billions of pounds at it to get results quickly. When we had a vaccine and AstraZeneca were trying to manufacture it in factories in EU states they then tried to block it being exported to us because we were at the front of the queue having signed supply contracts first.
Hypocritical protestors that want to disrupt Remembrance Sunday appear to be incredibly stupid (we know that the likes of lifetime loser Jeremy Corbyn and Leftie loser Owen Jones always have been). The only reason that they have freedom in this country and the right to protest is because of those people being remembered laying down their lives to protect those freedoms. Ironically, thousands of Indian Muslims fought in the Second World War on our side, so why should Muslims be offended by anyone wearing a poppy to remember them? Only Starmer and Nandy seem to think it is inappropriate. As it appears that having the British flag on the streets of Britain is now an offence, if somebody organised an anti-Hamas demonstration then who do we think the police would be stopping? Corbyn and Jones would have nothing to say.
It’s absurd to think machines will ever match the intelligence of mankind I read Janet Daley’s column in the Telegraph quite often and she normally deals with social issues. So I am not sure what possessed her to write about Artificial Intelligence (AI) as if it could ever resemble humanity in an emotional sense. Perhaps she saw the Terminator films too many times. She starts off with a swipe at the Islamists whose position is arguably “is life worth living for its own sake or is it simply a prelude to a sanctified death?” Moving on from this situation where sentient beings have decided the moral standing to which they wish to adhere, there is the machine that can process information but never have consciousness. Unfortunately most of her concerns are around AI being cold and logical (but not in the sense of Mr Spock). The question of whether a machine could write Dostoevsky’s The Brothers Karamazov seems quite mute. That is not why anybody is interested in AI at the moment. Big Tech (and the money being poured into it) is only interested in using AI to do things in a way that can generate more profit than paying humans to do the same tasks. We have probably already seen excesses of venture capital go into AI hoping to make multiple times profit and such expectations are fanciful. Elon Musk, the world’s greatest authority on AI apparently, cannot make his overpriced electric car drive itself safely let alone put everyone out of a job.
