Of course Farage's 'policy' doesnโt work. It isn't intended to work. It's meant to cause a splash in the unthinking press (and GMB) and thereby get Doris at Number 33 Lambert Road, Peterborough to go 'Ooh at last someone is trying to do something about these awful boat crossings.' That's it.

RefUK, RW media, & Eurofash are plainly trying to whip up a panic about this. Any serious report must begin by explaining that Ceuta is in Africa - not mainland Spain - and 48k+ of the 50k crossers were already returned. It is frightening how many still don't know this. Please share on all socials.

Think the next lane is moving faster? Maths says you're probably wrong. Most traffic jams aren't caused by crashes โ they're created by tiny braking differences that ripple backwards into "phantom jams." Smooth driving beats aggressive driving every time. Randa Herzallah explains
Donโt change lanes โ the maths of holiday traffic jams
Traffic jams often happen without a real incident, and the maths tells us that changing lanes will make things worse

Holiday in the climate emergency. No thatโs not AI or edited, just a snapshot I just took with my phone on Lacanau beach in France. What future will this boy grow up in? It is in our hands, but time is running out.

A company trains a system to run exploits, does an exploit "test" without guardrails, and monitoring, and markets their unsafe practices as โmodel capabilitiesโ when their models RUN EXPLOITS and the politicians supposed to hold them into account parrot their marketing. Make it make sense.

Look, on the one hand they allow perverts to covertly film your children and upload the footage to pedophelia forums. On the other hand, they can save someone half a second by projecting in front of them information they'd otherwise have to glance at their phone to get. What's a regulator to do?!

Somehow the BBC have made this half time even worse
Can someone check that Donald Trump hasnโt just invaded Greenland and used this half time shenanigans as a perfect cover?
I would literally rather watch the first half again than this.
It's like a whole evening of Comic Relief compressed into 15 minutes.
