Eh.. yeah? Irrespectively of whether an AI or a human suggested the target...

It was fed a decade old intelligence data, when the school was still part of the military complex next door.

It clearly shows the dangers of AI: garbage in, garbage out. And the dangers of trusting this data without human validation.

Don't blame AI, it isn't concious. Blame the people using it.

If ever there was any proof needed that with AI, it's garbage in, garbage out.

Appearently it was trained on a decade old intelligence data, in which the location of the school was still part of a military complex.

The fact that Labour is taking over Reforms policies only helps to cement the belief they are right, and immigration IS a problem.

What I'm saying is that you and I know that immigration has dropped by a lot because we inform ourselfs, but the general public, fed by Reforms lies, the overwhelmingly right wing press, the lack of push back and information from the Labour government, and the right wing bias of the BBC don't.

Also, "the boats" are only there because of Brexit, and the subsequential closure of all legal routes, in violation of international agreements. Open legal routes, and the boats will be largely gone tomorro

That doesn't make the position correct. Or "the public" right. Gut feelings on misinformation.

And Reforms rethoric and lies aren't from yesterday, that started before the Brexit vote, blaming immigrants for the consequences of the Tory's austerity measures. And it has only gotten worse since.

Exactly. The general public is so terribly uninformed, either because of the right wing rags they read, or because they get all their news from "John of Facebook".

The problem is there isn't really anything to properly inform them. Not this Labour government, not the BBC. A few independent outlets.

The same kind of polls showed that most Brits think 30% of the population is moslim, and that migrants live a life of luxury in hotels. People believe the rubbish Farage and friends sprout because nobody contradicts them.

If even Labour agrees, how will these people ever see the truth?

05.03.2026 18:18 πŸ‘ 4 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

This is not because immigration is a problem, this is because right wing media blaming migrants for everything, while the rich and powerful rob everyone blind.

And our Labour government agrees with them.

You don't combat those parties by agreeing with them.

They forget that the northsea oil and gas is owned by the same fossil fuel companies, not by the British public, and oil and gas prices are regulated in a global market.

Even if Northsea production was 10-fold of what it is today, prices would still go up, and the owners will rake in the profits.

I have space on my roof for about 11kWh, if I was allowed that, and could combine that with a decent size battery, I would be a lot more self efficient.

Also, because of the SEG, which for me is 15p per kWh, every kWh used, generated by solar instead of imported from the grid only saves me about 10p instead of the full unit rate, which is also something most people forget to take into account in cost calculations.

04.03.2026 11:24 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

The calculation here is quite optimistic. At the moment, with 10/3 Β°C temperatures, I have a daily electricity usage of about 45 kWh, in a large part due to the heatpump running.

Solar installations are limited to 16A (3.6 kWh), so even on a very sunny day, I will not break even.

I wonder if these people was also asked what exactly that would solve.

Cost of living crisis? Housing? GP or dentist? NHS waiting lists? All those would only get worse.

The root cause is that the UK has created one national (excl. NI) electricity market, in 2005. And there’s just one market price for the whole of Great Britain, no matter the cost price of production.

As a result, the price is fixed to the most expensive form of energy, which is currently gas.

03.03.2026 15:47 πŸ‘ 2 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

No, we don't. Commercial fossil fuel companies do, and they set the price (and rake in the profits).

Why is there a formula in the first place? It isn't called an energy market for nothing, why can't supply and demand not set the price, isn't that the neo liberal way to do things?

03.03.2026 14:40 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

I never understood why, in this neo liberal world, this is still the case? Shouldn't it be a free market?

It annoys me on a daily basis to see the massive windfarm on the hills opposite my house standing idle while the wind is blowing.

In the end this is about a dude who bombs and kills children, to deflect attention from documents showing him raping children.

People have gotten "the chair" for much less in the US of A.
