This is terror.
Israel is using Microsoft Azure to store recordings of every phone call made by Palestinians in the occupied territories, then using AI to analyze the contents and select targets. Microsoft is (dubiously) claiming ignorance.
‘A million calls an hour’: Israel relying on Microsoft cloud for expansive surveillance of Palestinians
Revealed: The Israeli military undertook an ambitious project to store a giant trove of Palestinians’ phone calls on Microsoft’s servers in Europe

We are heading for a future where technology is dirt cheap.
But housing, healthcare and even food is almost unaffordable.
They have taken control of the essentials and they will rip you off for every last penny.
We must take back essential resources from greedy billionaires.

The class-based ignorance of Fraser Nelson was plain to see in #Dispatches when he asked a disabled DWP claimant why not just try his job idea for 6m, a year. And live off what? There's no savings or inherited wealth to cushion you & that's the point. The system cuts you off immediately.

Danger is now that Scottish Water will end up being owned by Blackrock if we elect a Labour Scottish govt.
If only our Scottish Government had *all* the powers, and we broke the chains of Westminster. We'd see many more stories like this one 👍

Let us hope that the Putin attack never happens. Although I have to admit that in the last few months RAF Lossiemouth has been very busy with American & German aircraft.

When Putin starts attacking the west and UK, where will the British Army Be, Miles away protecting Israel.
Keir Starmer puts the British Army on standby in Tel Aviv to protect Israel. Proving that he is the world's worst chess player ever.

I've always thought this. If I block it should be for a reason, otherwise what is the point of social media? Sometimes it's beneficial to see things outside your own bubble, even (especially) if you're disagreeing. Bams get blocked 🤷♀️
Beware #BlockLists
They are blunt instruments, sometimes used by people with ignorant or unpleasant intentions.
If I'm going to block someone, I want to make that choice depending on their content and their character.
