I remember being shocked and disappointed by the Harris revelations and completely unsurprised by the Savile ones.

So the Government is going to make teenagers' lives worse, and then give them the vote. I have to ask, once again, is this Government on drugs?

I don’t care if β€œAI will soon be the norm”, I don’t care if β€œwe all have to adapt or die”, you won’t convince me to use it in any of my creative roles.
