A screenshot of Google's AI Overview answer to the question "is haggis an animal". It says "Yes, the haggis is a small, furry mammal native to Scotland" and goes on to give the typical "asymmetrical legs" details.
The Scottish have won the AI Wars.
You're not a "true entrepreneur" unless you make sure other people bear the weight of your losses.
You can dispute the accuracy of the poll while still disagreeing with the sentiment of the statement. Or you can throw a massive huff like he does here.

Yes. He's London director of local government at Reform and former Cllr Clive Furness is their Mayoral candidate for Newham. I look forward to being canvassed...
Any journalists who come up against Reform's new London man Robin Wales should definitely be digging into LOBO loans and trigger ballots, alongside council financial scandals in Rotten Boroughs in @privateeyenews.bsky.social issues passim.
Charlotte's voice is the one I was waiting for on this.

Witnessed Robin Wales in action at Newham Council, as well as his cheerleaders trying to award him a pay rise and huge pension. He's reached the low he deserves now with Reform.

Well, this is really no surprise. What a scumbag. www.standard.co.uk/news/politic...
It's true. The village where I live, Trumpton (ironically enough), is ruled by a ruthless Islamic mullah sultan called 'Windy Miller' who was allowed to put windmills everywhere after converting to fundamentalist Islam. Under Sharia law he hangs us from the blades if we speak English or love Jesus.
Not updated in a few years and now feel lost amidst all the updated spec. But maybe that is the idea!
Nigel Farage lied multiple times at his press conference today - including saying no-one who voted Green in Gorton and Denton has a job and he's "certain" Reform won most British born voters in the by-election, based on zero evidence, and yet not a single journalist there pushed back on them
So the Telegraph is taking this well
My dad was a plumber. I just know the Labour Party are going to ask me to be leader now.
One of the things you learn in cultural anthropology is that who you choose as “hero (voters)” says a lot about your values. Letting Mattinson and McSweeney do the choosing has led them to this.
Hmm.
I reckon a good 20% of the Reform votes were Hannah Spencer’s customers, who know it’s harder to replace a decent plumber than an MP
Haha. Headline reads exactly like they used the Allister Heath headline generator
Gorton and Denton by-election result: GRN: 40.7% (+27.5) REF: 28.7% (+14.7) LAB: 25.4% (-25.3) CON: 1.9% (-6.0) LDEM: 1.8% (-2.1) Green GAIN from Labour.
Expect weeks of "family voting" rhetoric from Reform. They're out of the gates on it already.
It mustn't be allowed to wash because look at the scale of that win.
Tactical voting has obviously played a massive part.
Gorton and Denton rejected Reform and its hateful agenda.
Green Party got 47% in the Gorton & Denton by-election
their previous highest by-election result anywhere, ever, was just 10%

Paddington (usually a harbinger of royal death) meets the current Queen Camilla
Sorry to hear about Camilla. Guess it was her time.
"...and there's been another arrest for misconduct in public office but for who Chris Kamara?"
That brings the total arrests so far over the contents of the Epstein files to two. Both British. None in the United States.
Hopefully the prospect of Mandelson and Mountbatten-Windsor in the dock together is still on.
