It's one man's word against another (litany of words, school reports and more)
I haven't seen any yet but you could probably find a few contemporaries who didn't personally witness Farage being Farage at school. But there doesn't seem to be a single former pupil or teacher who find the descriptions of racism, anti-semitism & cruelty unfeasible. Shocked, I tell you...

When Farage was singing Fascist songs etc (in the mid 70's-80's) they weren't a click away or a few minutes on Google. He would have to seek them out and make an effort to learn the lyrics etc. This wasn't schoolyard bantz

Poems are now battlefields.
"Our society might have stumbled into the most embarrassing possible cyberpunk dystopia, but—as of today—it's at least one in which wordwizards who can mesmerize the machine mind with canny verse and potent turns of phrase are now a pressing cybersecurity threat."

I have a husky who "talks" when he wants something. Whilst on the phone to a then colleague, I heard a husky talking in the background & commented on having the same breed. it turned out the noise was his non-verbal daughter. I wanted the floor to swallow me up.

London's giant AI artwork to be torn down
The bizarre story of why a much-talked-about creation is being torn down. Plus: Docklands Light Railway extension, giant laser stalks the night sky, and more tales of Android phone theft rejection.

Hey Labour
Remember the majority of voters who believe in treating people decently and not stealing from those who've endured months and years of hardship fleeing war and persecution to seek a place of safety?
