A month old now, but it’s important on the unnecessary surveillance creep we
keep having. First this, then digital ID. Worrying levels of authoritarianism
that solves nothing. Government are supposed to represent us, not ignore us and
treat us like children. Who are they working for?

On Wednesday, Dr Kandiah, founder of refugee charity The Sanctuary Foundation,
referred to a Mail on Sunday article written by Jenrick this weekend. He quoted
a line from the Conservative politican that said: “I certainly don’t want my
children to share a neighbourhood with men from backward countries who broke
into Britain illegally and about whom we know next to nothing.” Dr Kandiah
continued: "These words echo a fear many have absorbed – fear of the stranger.
The technical name for this is xenophobia. All phobias are, by definition,
irrational. Nevertheless, they have a huge impact. xenophobia “extreme dislike
or fear of foreigners, their customs, their religions, etc.”

[https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/xenophobia] ---- Sorry, I’m
confused. BBC apologising for accurate reporting? Accurately calling out racism?
Still got a Tory appointed chairman and many board members. I remember when they
used to attempt to be impartial.

Looks like the UK is leading the world by shamelessly sacrificing AI safety at
the altar of Trump. Appeasement never works and we have gone backwards towards
again being spineless lapdogs in this special relationship. I remember when we
shamelessly followed them in supporting the Iraq war via a sexed up document. AI
can be very error prone and has the potential to be seriously dangerous. It has
been said to be used for military purposes and when life and death is in the
hands of a computers decision, who is going to take responsibility for this?
Dangerous. Cowardly from Labour. I wonder if we traded this for zero tariffs.

Gaza Strip in maps: How a year of war has drastically changed life in the territory - sh.itjust.works
Analysis from the BBC (who are usually quite motivated and effective at
justifying Israel actions). The sheer devastation is incredible. 66% of
buildings damaged. 90% of the population displaced. Water and sanitation systems
non-functional. 53/500 needed lorries entering the territory per day (down from
142). They’re not even trying to look they’re helping now. The population have
been squeezed into over-populated tent cities. It feels like they think if they
create the conditions for disease and it kills people, they don’t get blamed. To
me, it’s hard to think of a way this could get closer to genocide. Absolutely
sick. Israel seem to be galvanised by inaction of the world and probably looking
to do the same in Lebanon. Is Yemen after? Where does this stop?
