Creating a prompt for an AI to generate an image doesn't make you an artist anymore than explaining how you want your hair cut makes you a barber. Trying to profit from AI generated "art" is an attack on every artist whose work was used without their permission to train the AI.
Small boats account for about 4% of total combined immigration and asylum arrivals and that total arrival rate is falling but lets throw away some of our most important human rights protection in case that helps.
This was the "Emergency National Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2024" or "Bipartisan Border Security Agreement" or "border deal" and failed to pass the senate in Feb 2024 and May 2024 after being voted down by Republican senators at Trumps request.
During Joe Bidens administration a bipartisan bill was put forward to deal with Amwericas "problem" on the southern border. At Trumps request the GOP voted it down. Trump wanted to run on platform of solviong the immigration crisis so the last thing he needed was for the problem to be solved
What has the ECHR ever done for us?
I don't believe America will change and I don't believe they can be helped. For us the Dunblane school shooting was enough to reform gun laws and we haven't had another school shooting in 29 years. For America Columbine wasn't enough and neither were the more than 400 school shootings since.
The Dublin Agreement Before Brexit, the UK was part of the Dublin system, meaning if someone entered the UK by small boat, but had already claimed asylum in France, Italy, Germany or wherever they first arrived, the UK could legally send them straight back.
There are reasons people are drawn to conspiracy theories. They make some feel like they are privy to secret knowledge. They make others feel that someone is in control in a chaotic world and they make people feel like intellectuals without the effort needed to become one for real.
A show about someone working in a bar and committing crimes. Pour and Murder
If Trump is dead JD Vance and Pete Hegseth should try to hide the fact to maintain stability and avoid panic and disruption. Based on my limited research the best way to do this is by copying Weekend at Bernie's.
I really hope you manage to end the horrors going on in the US right now and Americ can start to undo the damage. I hope we can avoid the same and rebuild our ties with Europe and at some point welcome America back as a friend. Good Luck to us all.
We are and we face similar challenges. I hope we use what is happening in America as a warning not to do the same and to undo the damage we've alread done. My point is just because Russia has targetted the US don't think we were somehow spared. We really weren't.
Agreed. Europe needs to stop looking on this as a threat and start looking at it as an opportunity.
Given that he has attacked every ally America ever had, stripped away basic rights, attacked the most vulnerable in american society, dsimantled the most critical parts of the federal government, and has fascist thugs dragging people off the steets to internment camps I can see why,
Every day I am dissapointed not to sse his name in the obituaries.
I am not saying you haven't had the same. Clearly Russia is influencing US politics enormously. I do have an issue when you say "yall are only spared because Russia specifically zeroed in on the USA". We've had the same plus the Russian military breathing down our necks.
Thankfully the fact that America is now demonstrating how untrustworthy it is as partner and unreliable it is as a friend is doing a lot to re-unite Europe so we're finally starting to build some bridges again.
Russia targeted britain with a social media and misinformation campaign designed to sway the vote yes. There was already some anti EU sentiment from tabloid demonisation of immigrants. But the polls leading to the vote show a swing that corresponds with a targetted campaign traced back to Russia.
The Vote on Brexit passed 52% to 48% after a massive pro Brexit social media campaign linked to Russia. Afterwards the Russian ambassidor claimed Russia had achieved this. It has cost us hundreds of billions. Currently people who think we were wrong to leave outnumber those who don't 2 to 1.
Russia pushed Brexit and said "We have crushed the UK to the ground, they are on their knees and will not rise for a very long time". Russian military aircraft have been warned away from UK airspace repeatedly in last 5 years and we catch their ships mapping our undersea cables. But yeah "Spared".
I think you're correct. There is no one able to take Trumps place. Not Vance, not Trump's kids, nobody. MAGA will tear itself to bloody pieces through backstabbing and power struggles.
MAGA is a cult of personality centred around Trump. Its most senior members are hateful, ambitious and without a shred of conscience or compassion. They also have no charisma or competence. When Trump dies they will fight for the throne and MAGA will tear itself to pieces.
She will be at least as effective and far less offensive than any other candidate Reform could put forward.
Re-upping this again, please spread far and wide:
I'm ded 💀 😂 😂 😂
The yellow sun does only effect people from Krypton. The question is why. We evolved over billions of years and at no point did life on earth work out how to use "yellow sun power". He turns up from a biosphere that has never seen a yellow sun and suddenly he can fly through skyscrapers.
As Europe re-arms we need a new defence alliance that excluded the US. We need technological and strategic sovereignty from the US
Tensile strength is not the same as shear strength. A better question is this. If our yellow sun can give super strength, flight and invulnerability how come nothing on Earth ever evolved to exploit that?
To be fair Sharon Carby sounds like she would be at least as effective, a lot less damaging and far less offensive than the average Reform candidate. Being dead is a strategy that could really work in her favour.
Reform MP says they will negotiate with the Taliban.
Normally parody highlights issues by taking them to a comedic extreme. Unfortunately this is no more extreme than reality.
The reason the wealthy and powerful use this strategy of fabricating culture wars and holding up immigrants or gay people or trans people as an enemy is because it has always worked.
The only reason for leaving a human rights conversation is if you plan on violating somebody's human rights.
You have to feel for the salmon. Driven by instinct to swim upstream and even up waterfalls to return to the place they spawned and breed. Then their epic journey is cut short by a bear.
Every culture war is manufactured to distract people from class war.
The only hope I see is a unified Green, Lib Dem, Your Party alliance. I am in my 50's and Conservative or Labour governments is all I have ever known (apart from that one Conservative LD coalition). Now I don't see Conservatives or Labour winning the next election. Strange times.
Every one of Elon Musk's DOGE tech bro tweens should be looking at life in prison.
How do you feel about universal basic income?
Reform is like MAGA it looks like a hard right political movement running on populism, and frothing anti-immigrant xenophobia but at its heart it is a cult of personality made for the grift. No matter how cruel Starmer is he will never be Farage and to Reform voters that is all that matters.
This is a good thing. Children coming out of school as young voters with a good understanding of Democracy can only be a benefit. Hopefully they will teach critical thinking skills while they are at it.
No vaccinations and withdrawn from the WHO. I am beginning to think maybe the rest of the world should prevent Americans entering our countries purely from a public health position.
He is a senile doddering old man basing much of what he says on vague memories or nostalgia. I am pretty certain his attempting to roll back green energy in favour of coal is as much about him remembering how popular coal was in his youth as it is payments from fossil fuel companies.
I would love to see the Nobel prize committee waiting until Trump is on his death bed and then award another one to Obama.
Every policy he has is just warmed over pound shop copies of MAGA/project 2025.
A Green, Lib-Dem, Your Party alliance would be a blessing especially if it could get behind PR, net zero and rejoining the EU.
They will never out-Farage Farage no matter how xenophobic they become but they will certainly lose the left.
A pity that the data didn't go to broader definitions such as "people who see themselves as European" or "People who see themselves as members of the human race".
Why does nobody ask him which 6 wars?
Block Elon Musk’s bid to supply UK home energy, Ed Davey urges Lib Dem leader says giving Tesla a foothold in Britain’s energy market could be national security risk.
I despair at this country sometimes.
I prefer the European approach. Give Ukraine unwavering support and aid without charging or exploiting them so they can endure until Russia either gives up or ends up with no army.
The people of Clacton are certainly getting their money's worth.
Vegetable prices going up almost 40% in a month is incredible. Is this in anyway linked to all the immigrant farm workers either in hiding or in concentration camps.
Pressure to reduce environmental impact is always placed on the user and never the company. IT companies should be compelled to site data centres in locations that provide natural cooling and use closed loop cooling systems and renewable energy. Microsofts Project Natick should be pushed forward.
She could always try a dangerous channel crossing before being consigned to a room in a stripped down hotel, unable to work and subject to abuse while a howling mob of racists threatens to burn her alive. Or maybe she could just report the loss to the British embassy and stop whining.
This is what happens when people with no understanding of technology try to legislate it.
63% of people think net migration rose in the last 12 months 8% of people think it fell Yet it fell by 400,000 in 2024 vs 2023 [It is falling further in 2025] Public service broadcasters are doing a core part of their job on this topic badly if that 8% is not closer to 30% at least
Wordle 1,525 2/6* ⬛🟩🟨🟩⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Nice!
500km more range and almost 2.5 times the payload of a tomahawk cruise missile and soon to be built at a rate of 7 a day. That is a terrifying weapon.
I'm starting to believe peace will only be achieved when Russia is physically incapable of continuing the war. When they have no more viable troops to send, no more armor and no more munitions.
I am so f*cking angry. We should have nothing to do with Israel, they shoud be be international pariahs, they should be standing utterly alone.
I remember this tragic, horrific scene. I also remember the performative pearl clutching an wailing of "How could this happen?" from politicians, newspapers and right wing rabble rousers and pundits who had spent years stoking hatred against these same desperate people.
This is what happens when people who don't understand technology attempt to legislate it. My handing my ID or biometric data to a 3rd party doesn't make children safer and my using a VPN doesn't put them at risk. With this government I would be using a VPN even if this legislation didn't exist.
They aren't the majority and they never seems to be silent either.
American food standards.
Do you honestly think that being in single room with your whole family and all your possessions with a baying mob outside and no idea what will happen next after fleeing your home to trust to the kindness of strangers is the same as a mini break?
Labour will never be right wing enough to win the votes of the howling mob of Reform voters. You can't out-Farage Farage. Labour clearly can be right wing enough to alienate the left and centre voters that have always been it's core base.
America didn't get involved in WW1 until the Zimmerman telegram revealed Germany was planning on attacking America with Mexico. America didn't get involved in WW2 until they were attacked at Pearl Harbour. It doesn't hurt me so who cares is America's standard position.
America lived under the threat of nuclear war with the Soviet Union for years. It spent $13 Trillion fighting the cold war. The Russian conquest of Ukraine would be the first step in a new Soviet Union. Even if America is too stupid to understand that, Europe isn't.
Ukraine already had security guarantees from America when it gave up its nuclear weapons. Like most guarantees and agreements from America they turned out to be worthless.
What a pathetic repulsive little quisling.
Thank God Ukraine has the European nations as friends because America's friendship is utterly worthless.
24 hours in Sadiq Khan’s Lawless London.
That is a fantastic result. The swing from Labour is huge.
Why is every pick for home secretary a hate-mongering authoritarian lunatic?
How else will the government ensure the nations ideological purity as defined by adjudicated rapist, felon and almost certain child molester.
The UK government is really sucking up to J D Vance. I wouldn't be suprised if Lammy hadn't organised a day trip to DFS for him.
JD Vance needs to relax and blow off some steam. Maybe David Lammy can fix him up with nice day at a DFS store.
The US government is literally dragging people off the street and locking them in internment camps. They have no business calling out any European nation on Human rights.
Sorry I spotted a typo, it should say "I am curious a whether the actions of the Met was the result of poor judgement on the scene OR instructions from the home office."
An unchecked president can shape the country according to his beliefs and abilities. It becomes oppressive or tolerant, productive or stagnant, open or isolationist depending on the president. America is becoming the manifestation of one man's bigotry and dementia. Mental illness in nation form.
Waiting for a journalist to ask Yvette Cooper whether the suffragettes were wrong to take part in disruptive protests and if she would consider them terrorists.
I am glad about this outcome but the situation should never have happened in the first place. This was in every way a peaceful protest. I am curious a whether the actions of the Met was the result of poor judgement on the scene of instructions from the home office.
Well said Wing Commander Brookes. The government has supressed our right to protest which is one of the most essential freedoms in any functioning democracy and simultaneously devalued the term 'Terrorist'. What Palestine Action did was trespass and criminal damage, nothing more.
After givng up their nuclear weapons Ukraine already had security guarantees from the US. How much were those worth? Neither Russia nor the US can be trusted to abide by any agreement.
I wonder how he thought a 100% or a 125% tariff worked?
This may be more key jingling to distract from the Epstein files just like the provocative repositioning of US nuclear subs. Either way Mexico would be justified in responding to the presence of US military with some degree of force.
Most of Ukraine's allies see a friend in need who should be helped. America sees a country that might be desperate enough to be extorted for profit.
Once they finish deporting all of the undocument immigrants ICE will not scale down or disappear. ICE will take on it's true long term role, an army of enforcers for a facist regime ready to drag away and disappear any dissenting voice.
Maybe all emotional states can be measured as a percentage of total apathetic indifference at which all tasks take an infinite time to complete.
Possibly because the US can't be trusted. Europe needs to replace NATO with a new alliance (possibly including Canada).
There’s a HUGE Elon Musk shaped hole in the Government’s new plans to improve our elections: shady billionaires like Musk can still donate massive amounts of money with no cap: effectively buying our democracy. Add your name to call for a cap on donations today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ta...
Cheating is bad but it's important to remember that snitches get stitches.
I'd forgotten about 'Thatcher in the Rye'.
He seems nice. Reported.
If the country responsible for the Union Carbide gassing of an entire town in India feels there's reason for concern, believe them.
I suspect they will be proven tragically wrong over the next few weeks.
