Starmer's knee-bending to Donald Trump is cringey, says Nick Clegg
The former deputy PM says Starmer and Trump's relationship is "getting a bit embarrassing".www.bbc.co.uk
And, funnily enough, one of the reasons Clegg went is supposedly so that Meta could put someone more amenable to Trump in his place.
Yep, either way, he was replaced conveniently and swiftly by a Trump lackey.I think it's more that he didn't want Zuck to be cosying up to Trump.
I think it's telling all the social media companies had decent people working in ethics and they all resigned when Trump was elected.
Yep, either way, he was replaced conveniently and swiftly by a Trump lackey.

I don't get it, the tech bros really seem to be banking hard on MAGA being a thing forever.
Hmmm. How to "drill, baby, drill" without breaking your manifesto pledge?

"Everyone does it" is, I guess, the refrain from Labour supporters. But then, they took the moral high ground before the election and said Labour would be better.
Takes 13 years in blighty. Takes about the same time in South Korea.get building more nuclear (and do it quickly like S Korea)

Keir Starmer to announce plans for digital ID scheme
The prime minister believes a new scheme would help crack down on illegal working in the UK.www.bbc.co.uk
Can I wish death on him now, before I end up in jail for saying that?
If someone does kill him, you're all invited to mine for an all-you-can-eat BBQ, with free beer for a long weekend, walking in the hills, and axe-throwing with a paper cut-out of Starmer's face as the target.
Well if it becomes law you will have to.Well, I won't be carrying it, or participating in it.
I'm not bothered about the privacy concerns, well I am, but I already have a passport and photo driving license. So there is no real change.Well if it becomes law you will have to.
I'm in two minds about it all. Having one would certainly simplify the shit tonne of paperwork and ID security checks I've had to do recently. I can also understand the privacy concerns, but in this digital day and age I'm inclined to think they are almost a non-issue. It's not exactly hard for the government or other agencies to track or find out everything about you if they wanted to.
"Papers, <snip>" reminds me of all the war films with Germans and Jews.I'm not bothered about the privacy concerns, well I am, but I already have a passport and photo driving license. So there is no real change.
What I don't like, is where this leads. "Papers, please"
...and what difference does it make to the black market anyway...illegal labour is illegal labour.
Jail for you then, my dirty little perp. What are you trying to hide?Well, I won't be carrying it, or participating in it.
Yeah. It's the bare-faced lying from Starmer that's boiling my piss the most....and what difference does it make to the black market anyway...illegal labour is illegal labour.
Sorry for getting sentimental but some sayings in this post brought a massive smile to me this morning.Yeah. It's the bare-faced lying from Starmer that's boiling my piss the most.
Our local curry house was done for housing a load of illegal immigrants for the asian mafia. I understand they got paid for it, but when the po-po found out they got slapped and had to shut.
When they re-opened, shortly after, the asian mafia showed up with a new car full of illegal immigrants.
Who are you more scared of? The asian mafia, or the police?
Even if you're not mafia-led, if you want to pay someone cash in hand, how the fuck is an ID card going to stop that?
Bike shop not a million miles from me pays a lad cash in hand a couple of days a week. That's a British lad, born and bred, mind. You can bet your ass that if he could find someone cheaper who could do the work, maybe an immigrant, perhaps even one who can't work in the UK legitimately because he's not got a digital ID card, he'd fucking pay him cash in hand too.
Starmer needs to <insert something painful, possibly final, here>...
