The companies developing Artificial Intelligence (AI) are mainly interested in profit and ways to reduce the workforce. If they see an opportunity to replace a Human with a robot they will. If a task that a human currently does can be done by AI they will make it. Companies are falling over backwards for this kind of opportunity to maximise their profits. Greedy capitalist enterprises are always seeking new ways to decrease their workforces. Venture Capitalists in companies such as Uber would willingly invest in driverless vehicles for example if it meant a healthy profit. And the companies developing AI will certainly deliver the product to anyone willing to invest in their technologies. They will do this without any ethical considerations or conscience.

‘A Changed Labour Party’ pursueing Electoral Credibility but at what cost to policies?
‘A Changed Labour Party’ as Kier Starmer likes to call it, pursueing electoral credibility but at what cost to policies? Sir Kier Starmer keeps dropping in phrases about the Labour Party’s electoral credibility but what is unclear about his focus on this issue is the cost to the Labour Party’s policies and ambitions.
The last time we saw ‘A changed Labour Party’ was that of Tony Blair: and what a disaster that was
The last time we saw ‘A Changed Labour Party’ was that of Tony Blair’s ‘New Labour’: and what a disaster that was. So is Starmer wanting to take Labour back to the uninspiring and instantly forgettable Tony Blair years? Well on the face of it it would appear to be so. So even though the Tories are gifting the next General Election to Labour, nervous Starmer still seems intent on watering the Labour Party policies down to worthlessness.
Saturday Night TV on the BBC all repeats, whats going on?
Sat here on a Saturday night wondering if I had been travelling in time with Dr Who. All repeats of the Wheel and Blankety Blank. I even knew the outcome of the Wheel because my mindvhad been refreshed by watching Gogglebox earlier in the week which had the very same episode. So what’s going on with Saturday Night entertainment on the BBC? It’s really no fun watching repeats of game shows when you know what’s going to happen. Either give us a new series of the Wheel or something completely new. Watching predictable TV is certainly not on during prime viewing.
Waterways Pollution in Britain: Thatcher’s privatisations come to a shitty end
Last weeks admissions of failure by the British Water Companies are the perfect demonstration of the failure of Margaret Thatcher’s privatisations. Water pollution in the UK reflects and reveals decades of mismanagement by these water companies and exposes once and for all the failures of Britain’s privatisations brought about by the Thatcher and Major governments.
Now the final cost of these privatisations include polluted rivers and the coastline of the British Isles. Years of lack of investment and mismanagement have surfaced to show us the extent of the problems of privatisation. These companies have been creaming off profits to shareholders and investing in other business interests whilst neglecting their primary purpose. The stench of corruption and malpractice is as bad as the stench left by them in our polluted rivers and our beaches. Companies such as these have the obligation to look after the resources they are managing not to trash them. This obligation should be a prerequisite to the nature of there work. Hence by increasing pollution in our rivers and upon our beaches they have failed to execute their duties properly and should be removed as a liability as quickly as possible. It wouldn’t take long to do this and to prove this in a court of law and the British Government should be pressed to do so as a matter of obligation. However we have a Conservative Government in power that still supports these failed privations dating back to the Thatcher and Major Governments so any action on the matter seems remote.

A.I. Just because we can do it doesn’t mean we should
Artificial Intelligence (AI) could determine our roles in the future and determine human societies. AI has the potential to undermine societies and destabilise human relationships. At present we have the ability to decide which way we wish to go with A.I but we should understand the consequences of using A.I. before we go any further with it’s implementation.
Just because we can do something doesn’t necessarily mean that we should do it
Artificial Intelligence (A.I) is a case in point here and just because we can do it doesn’t necessarily mean that we should do it. To progress an implement A.I means taking away a humans ability to do the same thing and give it to a machine of a chunk of code (or both). To progress like this and measure it in only profit and efficiency terms could be irresponsible. To consider the implementation of A.I. there has to be more consideration given other than just implementation for profit and efficiency gains. We have to learn to consider this topics of ethics, social responsibility, macro economics, social factors and even matters of world order. At present the world and various big players ( companies) are pressing ahead with A.I regardless. There seems to be a free laissez-faire attitude among Government’s to just let A.I happen. Nobody seems to be envisaging the future and what our increasing obsession with A.I. could potentially lead to.

Putin most likely is disappointed by talks with China
Talks without allegiance and without commitment for towards armourments are likely to be a huge disappointment for Putin. China remains uncommitted towards Putin’s crusade. A show of strength yes but a commitment it is not. China will benefit from trading arrangements with Russia to replace some of what it has lost through the sanctions imposed upon Putin by the West but the deals made are not mutually beneficial. Putin is running out of options so any deals are better than no deals but it is also a sign of Russia and Putin diminished world currency. China remains aloof and certainly doesn’t wish to get drawn into a possible set of sanctions itself. China has to face it is reliant on exports to the West. To face large sanctions and boycotts on Chinese made goods would put his own regime at risk. People in China are being kept sweet and dormant by financial success. To risk upsetting that would most likely be a huge destabilising factor putting his regime at risk. The People’s Republic of China could be a very real possibility if this tyrannical regime were to upset those that they rule over. That Western trade are actually shoring up this regime is a political irony in itself. Take away this scaffolding and the Chinese are likely to implode.
Russians are the real Nazis being led by Putin
Russians take a look at your country. Take a look at what you represent. Take a long hard look at the nazification that your country has undergone by Putin. Those of you that support Putin are the new Nazis. Putin has brought shame on your country and made you an international pariah. This is something that the majority of the world condemns. Your country is guilty of atrocities which you shall forever regret and be ashamed of. Putin must die and must be cleared away in order for your country to break free from it’s shame. You must rise up against Putin and destroy all that he symbolises. Russia is currently a Nazi state being run by a pseudo Tsar. Russians are the new Nazis of the World being led on this journey by your despotic leader Putin.
The West must go after Putin and defeat him by and any means possible. The West must continue to support the Ukraine and even give them everything that is required to defeat Putin including long range missiles and jet fighters.
Defeating Putin is the only way to weaken him enough to be toppled by his own people from the inside. There is no compromise Putin must die.
If you don’t hate Putin then you too must be a Nazi
The People of Russia are misinformed. They are kept in ignorance through the propaganda from Putin’s regime which feeds on and thrives on their ignorance. Putin controls all means of communication and propaganda in Russia. There are no defiant voices because they have been suppressed by Putin and his brutal police force which is just the KGB in disguise. Those who support Putin now are either the ignorant and misinformed or they themselves are Nazis. If you don’t hate Putin then you must yourself be a Nazi. Can there be an expectation that the people of Russia will eventually come to their senses. Can there been any cohesion of those against Putin and any hope that they may rise up and retake the sanity of their Country? Its a difficult task when there is little available to galvanise these people into a political and fighting force from within Russia. It’s possible but also a disparate hope. It is up to the West then to go further and make sure Putin is defeated firstly in the Ukraine and then on Russian soil.
Putin has destroyed the international reputation of Russia
Putin has destroyed the International reputation of Russia. He has turned Russia into a police state run on behalf of a group of Nazis. He has made Russia in a country of Nazi sympathisers. He claims to be running a campaign against the Ukraine on the basis that they are Nazis. However the only thing that comes close to being a Nazi state is actually that of Russia. The Russians are the real Nazis. The Russians represent the real Nazi threat to the world and Putin is the instigator and the Fuhrer.
Russia will never live down the shame that Putin has brought upon Russia. Russia deserves to be exiled for a long time. Russia must examine what it represents and what it had become.
Britain needs Socialism now more than ever before
Tory policies have caused Britain to run aground. Thatcherite policies and values have now backed Britain into a cul-de-sac. There is no route forward any longer and therefore no reason to cling to the values of Thatcherism. Britain has no income and is also bankrupt of ideas. Now the only course of action available to the Tories is to raise levels of government income from taxation. This was inevitable as a result of privatisation of Britain’s assets. Recent Tory governments have relied upon borrowing as a way of shoring up the facade that everything was under control. Then along came Liz Truss who tore down the mirrors to reveal the true horror show that the Tories had created. Truss even managed to make matters worse and that takes some doing. The only way back for Britain is to adopt a style of socialist economics. Britain needs socialism now.

There may be dangers ahead for the Labour Party and they should not become complacent
Kier Starmer’s Labour Party needcto be aware that the job is not done yet and there is still a long way to go. Yes the Tories have certainly given them a good head start but success is not assured. Here are the things that the Labour Party must get in order to be assured of winning the next General Election. They should not rely on the Tories to do it all for them.
How to tackle the ‘Cost of Living Crisis’
How to tackle the ‘Cost of Living Crisis’. Well the first obstacle is to remove the Tory Government because they are not equipped, ethically or ideologically, to deal effectively with the ‘Cost of Living Crisis’. In fact many of their policies have contributed to this situation. The legacy of Thatcherism is also a contributory factor. The current situation of having our Energy and other utilities in the private sector is a major factor contributing to the high levels of Inflation that we are seeing. These Energy Providers have just got increasingly greedy and any attempts to moderate this by Tory Government Policies has been ineffectual.
