Potential solution to the migrant boat problem ?

Intercept the boat, take its engine, make sure they have a few paddles and then have frogmen with those torpedo-like mini subs tow them back to 200 yards (visible distance) off the French coast.

Be harder for the French to complain or intercept if there is no surface boat doing the towing and can get the invaders back to a safe-ish distance off dry land back where they came from.

And while we are at it, load up the entire british establishment and do the same to them!

I guess the key critical-path factor in these migrant boats is outboard motors and large semi-inflatables. That would be the place the French could crack down on if they had any motive, but they are happy to let the migrants leave eh!

Funny segment on an old Yes Minister about why Britain has nukes… Because the French have got them eh!

It would not surprise me to discover the navy only has about 20 active frogmen and they are all too busy blowing up gas pipelines and dams!

Anyway would be better done by an international charity “Repatriate the invaders!” or something, so no ties to officialdom. Can imagine how difficult that would be to set up as a charity whereas a charity such as “Invaders taxi service masquerading as the rnli” is easy to maintain.

Job review I read… “clicky and devious”

Job review I read… “clicky and devious”, if you fully understood it you might find it funny… Arrrgh Harrr!!!

I thought… yeah, there! and every other corporat-tail borganism….

I think the reviewer actually meant “Cliquey”

Lets say the place itself (which I have visited and it made me think Arrgh Harrr) it just made me think of the classic monty-python meaning of life assurance company… it’s fun to charter an accountant and sail the wide accountancy Gilliam animation pirate sketch!

I mean I do not want to mention the place, it’s reputation speaks for itself LOL, actually was (20 years ago) a nice in-keeping with the theme, place!

Funny I guess in a sea of debt have to cast oneself as a sailor on the payroll craft eh! Think the rest of the crew might be conspiring to save their own asses… the office dynamic eh! I guess with a.i. the management probably figuring to cut all but most cutthroat of their staff and replace the rest with in-the-cloud a.i. and dumb enforcer physical robots…

“Shaping culture is in the DNA of ITV. “

“Shaping culture is in the DNA of ITV. ”

A quote/slogan from an ITV job advert I saw.

Seems the definitive answer to the question of whether Life imitates art or Art imitates life?.

Television (an ipcress machine in every room) is instrumental in reverting humanity to bonobos and beyond… i.e. love island, drag-stars on ice etc. The storylines in the soaps etc. let alone the so-called “News” eh!

Actually I reckon “Drag-stars on ice” has potential, you don’t fit them with ice skates, but just make them walk across a frozen pond in stilettos. Or up and down a frozen slope in stilettos…. should be hilarious!

1.FM Radio, Reggae Channel, Thought I had heard all Bob Marley’s songs… 2 new ones in two nights….

Slogans, Not a bad tune! And in fact the whole set of 1.FM radio channels are a cut above, from the ludicrous 192 kb/s bitrate to the quality of the playlist selection….

1.FM Really made me appreciate classical/baroque music and how awesome Boccherini was/is! (Sad tale of dissing the boss! Refused to alter a tune his aristocrat sponsor wanted altering…) Along with the old Lute/Harp style stuff, though cannot stand the solo harpsichord… but actually in the background with like violin/viola whatever it is a sound that fits!

The unannounced but definitely planned attack on cash has started…

I reckon it started when the new plastic UK notes were introduced with an actual coronavirus logo on them eh! and then like official advice to pay by contactless to avoid handling deadly virus-carrying banknotes eh!

but months ago most of the self serve machines stopped accepting cash, been to cash machines in several places on several occasions and they were out of service, tonight tried to use cash machine, out of service, bloke walks up and says “not working again?” so…

They have actually done it in Nigeria… gone pretty much cashless, announced, but like citizens in Nigeria are storm in a tea-cup easy put down by more brutal forces, which is destiny of all us serfs on earth eh! Whilst brutal humans are quite easy to recruit, brutal robots once affordable even better eh!

Well, the Spartacus conundrum, better to die in a revolt or die as a serf??? How close the peasants revolt came to “success” (well an unknown outcome really if they had succeeded) all by a barrel of beer and an opportunistic murderer with the cover story of loyal “lord-mayor” servant of the King eh!

postscript: yeah, cash machine worked in this supermarket but real human checkout just closed and all self-serve machines were card only! OK, baccy and gambling counter was still accepting cash.

So I thought I’d check in with how badly mired in the Seven Deadly Sins I was….

So Wikipedia is first port of call of course and seemed to me a good article on the subject that taught me a lot.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_deadly_sins

So yeah basically it was worth reflecting on when considering my current state/attitude if you want to be Christian. All of the sins represent a non-ideal state of affairs. But really hard to avoid so, I can kind of see the Catholic confession of sins (which is biblical) as being useful, of course bit of a paradox that even a saint can battle with certain sins, though probably at a lesser level. Of course another paradox about who “owns” the priest.

So Pride apparently is considered the deadliest sin, the sin that made the devil the devil as it were, so then I thought, hold on the whole month of June is called “pride” month isn’t it? So I looked up word pride on google and this is what you get. You may notice the final hand in the animation is making the “devil horns” hand sign eh! You may also notice a lot of trannies dress up as demons or witches.

A funny meme I saw was something like “signs you are not an oppressed minority” – a) all major international corporates change their logos to support your ideology. b) etc.

Anyway I’d recommend a read of the wikipedia article, and maybe look back to the Greek/Roman virtues mentioned in the wikipedia article as well.

A.I. Might destroy the world if “bad actors” get their hands on it ???? Bad Actors have bought it all up already eh?

A.I. Might destroy the world if “bad actors” get their hands on it ???? But surely Bad Actors have bought it all up already eh!

OpenAI… what exactly is open about it? nothing! it is closed source owned by microsoft. And the only reason public access to it is market research on what people use it for and actually training it in real world.

I think the argument that if it is open source it will be OK is also false… who can afford the server farms of supreme graphics/a.i. processors that it needs to run on.

(If people believe in a benevolent dictatorship or that the bankers are “here to help!” they should be stupid enough to vote for me LOL)

It is already out of control if you ask me! Though the Hilary Clinton endorsing De Santis deep fake was quite funny and well done… Hail Hydra!
