Isn't this a telling aspiration? To want robots to look after your kids, so you can do stuff, rather than robots to do stuff, so you can spend time with your kids?

The darkness inside these shrivelled men must be like a gaping unfillable void.

WE DID IT!

After huge public pressure, the Government has dropped plans for mandatory digital ID to work in the UK.

This is a big win for freedom and proof that when we come together, we can stop policies that go too far.

Thank you to everyone who spoke up.

Instead of saying Trump did this or Trump did that, why not say the US did this or the US did that?

The US failed to prosecute him, elected him, elected two houses to suit him, obeyed and flattered him.

Right now Trump is being used as an excuse. The US is the real issue.

Why does the UK govt need US approval to know what is wrong?

Is the UK a sovereign state or not?

Must take action against platforms profiting from exploitation and abuse.
