The USA with Trump and the UK with Brexit are both grappling with the consequences of epidemic stupidity. Before he was murdered by actual rather than just wannabe fascists Dietrich Bonhoeffer summed it up.
"Stupidity is a more dangerous enemy of the good than malice."

My daughter-in-law's iPhone spent 5 days on the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean before being found by a scuba diver and returned to her by a circuitous route. It is still going strong.

Which stone did #r4today find Luke Johnson underneath? He countered Sharon Graham's statistics with playground insults and misrepresentations of her position. Sharon may sound like Rowan Atkinson's "Not The Nine O'Clock News" Comedic Union Rep but she remained courteous throughout.

At the age of 69 I have just failed the age verification test. I can now testify to the uselessness of Yoti. How do they get away with it?

Companies list outside the UK because capital is cheaper elsewhere. The problem isn't red tape, it's the greed of London's institutions. They offer poor value to retail investors and expect unreasonable returns when investing themselves.

The growth in self-checkout cuts staff numbers.
And it makes people like me, in wheelchairs and unable to reach, wait longer to pay them for my purchases.

The growth in self-checkout must have something to do with the epidemic of UK shop-lifting. Why should we, the shoppers, do the shop's work for them unpaid? #r4today

Emma Barnet isn't questioning the Home Secretary, she is pushing her own agenda. Her talking over is rude and disrespectful. We want to hear Yvette Cooper, not Emma Barnet. #r4today

The humbug meter goes off the scale as Nick Robinson tries to turn the prompt resignation of a minister who was found not to have broken the Ministerial Code into an attack line against Kier Starmer. At least he was talking to a Labourite rather than another washed-up Tory has-been. #r4today

Once upon a time Facebook was a Social Network. I used it to stay in touch with friends around the world. I could see all their posts in strict chronological order, and ad-blockers worked. Now the platform controls what I see. What's Social about that?It's just a waste of time :(

Liz Truss crashed the economy. You know it, I know it, everyone knows it. Nevertheless, Elon Musk's X-ecrable mouthpiece would have you believe she's the hard-done-by would-be saviour of the UK undone by the evil blob. Lettuces are nowhere to be seen
