βIn my work with the (Nuremberg Trial) defendants, I was searching for the nature of evil, and I now think I have come close to defining it. A lack of empathy... a genuine incapacity to feel with their fellow men. Evil, I think, is the absence of empathy.β

It also warned that the strength of the various climate feedbacks means we could reach 3Β°C of global heating by the year 2050.

24.10.2025 14:20 β π 4 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0A Labour Party FB advert showing, on the left, the words 'Without Digital ID' with a background featuring nine (NINE!!!) household bills, two (TWO!!!) driving licences, and a passport - suggesting this is what we all carry with us on a daily basis just to prove to all the people asking that we are who we claim to be. On the right, behind the slogan 'With Digital ID' is a phone, suggesting we can swap all those other means of identification for this one (expensive, heavier tracking device). There's an irony here: Sir Keir Starmer claims to be on the side of workers, a left-wing politician looking out for the vulnerable... He's not though, is he... I want to see his ID... It's also worth considering that there is obvious skin in this game. As I suggest in the post, someone is very, very keen for Digital ID to happen - so much so they ar really blitzing social media to promote it, despite there being no need for this at all, and a ptition of 3 million signatures showing how unpopular it is. Why keep pushing then? Especially considering how unpopular you already are? There has to be a reason... At Starmer's level, it will be about money, but beyond him sit the ideological monsters, such as Thiel, and eugenics is a fairly safe bet there...

This message is a carefully-composed lie and the third FB ad promoting Digital ID I've seen there today. This really matters to someone...
Labour doesnβt really have a βdilemmaβ. It has a choice: change direction or die. Keep chasing Reform voters and Labour will be wiped out in the local elections and then wiped out in the general election.
Remember that theyβre supposed to be on the left, and they could still win it all again.
ThIs is what will sit behind your Digital ID. If they dont like you, they can just disable your access to different services. Its tech totalitarianism.
