My interpretation of Count Dracula, based on the version from the 1992 film, Bram Stoker’s Dracula, starring the amazing #garyoldman as the titular character.

If Reform can go from nought to sixty in 5 seconds (in terms of support & prominence) why can’t the millions of left-leaning people do exactly the same for @greenparty.org.uk ?
It’s not beyond the realms of possibility.
The old two-party monopoly is dead.
Be part of the change. ✊💚

It’s really simple:

AI was built on stolen work. It’s an environmental disaster. It makes the people who use it dumber. It’s biased towards right-wing extremism. It’s the tool of our oppressors.

Don’t use it for any reason ever.
