Dinner with Mr Brexit: Bannon’s European Revolution – Planned with Farage, Backed by Epstein Nigel Farage was the figurehead and his partner Laure Ferrari started it. Steve Bannon and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein were providing almost daily support

This is clearly an intricate international conspiracy. The big question now is whether the democratic free west has sufficient cohesion left to deal with it. bylinetimes.com/2025/11/19/d...

Indeed. There is a serious debate to maintain here. But maybe you could have just written β€œAI is unethical” and saved yourself the bother of writing a book which seriously engages with the issues! πŸ€”

Its social media. I was asking a simple question. You reply with rudeness. I don’t accept such unethical behaviour so I am blocking you. Have a think about how you behave.

He certainly does have a lot to answer for. A man who still pushes eugenics and believes people of colour are less intelligent than the master race. I think there is a word for people like that.

It is going to remind me in three weeks to get my arse in gear.

It is like being back at work after a performance review!!

…. into an article on my ancestors’ experiences, locations, employment etc and has provided a basic structure. It has provided the basic review of literature, provided 70 references from 1840, which are put in APA Style, and given me a spreadsheet to organise my data…..

About two hours ago I asked ChatGPT if there was a social class influence on deaths from pneumonia and bronchitis in East London in the 19th Century as I was interested in how many of my ancestors had died from respiratory diseases. Two hours later it has pushed me into pulling my data together …

U.K. leader calls local ban on Israeli Maccabi Tel Aviv soccer fans "the wrong decision" British Prime Minister Keir Starmer says Birmingham authorities were wrong to ban fans of Israel's Maccabi Tel Aviv soccer team.

Starmer is outraged that fascists who assaulted Muslims in Amsterdam, tore down Palestinian flags and chanted β€˜Death to Arabs’ and β€˜No children left in Gaza’ don’t get to do exactly the same in Birmingham…

Isn’t it interesting how in the space of a few hours the entire British establishment and press now stands fully behind violent football hooligans just because they happen to be Israelis. Talk about 2 Tier Policing

Can we also express our support and solidarity with all British Muslims who are getting abuse and attacks because of one man. I mean it’s not as if we accuse all Jews of being personally responsible for the Palestinian genocide.

"What do you mean by Palestinian hostages?"

Hadash Israeli MP Aida Touma-Suleiman "There are thousands of Palestinians who are kidnapped from their houses.. with no trial, no possibility to know what they are charged of & they are kept in prison. What can you call such a thing?"

Ha Ha as I said. it is no surprise you should try to rewrite history.
Labour In was the Labour Party campaign to put forward a "progressive" case for Remain
launched by Labour MP Alan Johnson who set up the group and was run separately to the cross party Britain Stronger in Europe Campaign.
