Live in NW England. Disappointed in the attitude & lack of decency of many MP's. Views are my own. Sport, music, politics & banter.

@joebloggsuk1 @racingtips Frankel is by far the best of the recent horses. I don't think I've seen sheer pace like it had.
English
@SiMartin73 @racingtips Was rated just a pound below Frankel .in the initial ratings I think he was level or even one ahead .to be in the same ballpark as Frankel is special .he was a machine.
English
@joebloggsuk1 @racingtips It's a tough call, because Dancing Brave was such an exceptional horse.
English
@SiMartin73 @racingtips That's where it counts eh dancing brave swooped past sharastani then the brilliant unbeaten french derby winner bering to win in race record time eased down ...
English
@joebloggsuk1 @racingtips Sure did. Only ahead in the last 20 metres.

@SiMartin73 @racingtips I recall that race .Lester piggott came out of retirement to Ride him didn't he ???

@joebloggsuk1 @racingtips Royal Academy in the Breeders Cup mile. A great horse & a jockey showing why he was the greatest ever.

@MittensOff How many of them have now lost their jobs in respect to the defense of their "free speech"?

Oh dear, @SeanyBoyy89 is now suffering the consequences of his own “freedom of speech” The tower crane driver says he’s not racist, it’s just his “political view” Unfortunately, he fucked around on work time, and is now finding out that Islamophobia will not be tolerated.

I’ve seen the news about UK schools banning phones. Having spent a few minutes browsing social media today, may I humbly suggest extending the ban to include everyone under the age of 90?
English
@nw_nicholas Yep. A beacon of truth shining through.
Not one of the MP's has done anything questionable in the past or present.
English
Thank god we've got Reform Ltd to call out politicians' lies.

Mark Austin: I'm not hearing any real evidence that he lied? Lee Anderson(Reform MP): "I'm not interested..." MA: Your inbox isn't proof that he lied? LA: "It doesn't matter..." MA: Isn't this just attention seeking? LA: "No..." 👀

The ex prosecution lawyer came with all the evidence.

@SouthcoastJD @Jan51478528 I guess it will depend on how much money a certain person can raise?

@SiMartin73 @stuzi_pants I don`t know how he thought all this could be covered up

@MittensOff Don't take the piss, he's 60% through collecting all the infinity stones!!!

@CHeardman61310 @stuzi_pants Whether he knew or not, it's a terrible look & smacks of negligence.

If the NHS leadership sees this and doesn’t scrap their contract with Palantir (which they should have already), then I’m gravely concerned.

Because we get asked a lot. The Technological Republic, in brief. 1. Silicon Valley owes a moral debt to the country that made its rise possible. The engineering elite of Silicon Valley has an affirmative obligation to participate in the defense of the nation. 2. We must rebel against the tyranny of the apps. Is the iPhone our greatest creative if not crowning achievement as a civilization? The object has changed our lives, but it may also now be limiting and constraining our sense of the possible. 3. Free email is not enough. The decadence of a culture or civilization, and indeed its ruling class, will be forgiven only if that culture is capable of delivering economic growth and security for the public. 4. The limits of soft power, of soaring rhetoric alone, have been exposed. The ability of free and democratic societies to prevail requires something more than moral appeal. It requires hard power, and hard power in this century will be built on software. 5. The question is not whether A.I. weapons will be built; it is who will build them and for what purpose. Our adversaries will not pause to indulge in theatrical debates about the merits of developing technologies with critical military and national security applications. They will proceed. 6. National service should be a universal duty. We should, as a society, seriously consider moving away from an all-volunteer force and only fight the next war if everyone shares in the risk and the cost. 7. If a U.S. Marine asks for a better rifle, we should build it; and the same goes for software. We should as a country be capable of continuing a debate about the appropriateness of military action abroad while remaining unflinching in our commitment to those we have asked to step into harm’s way. 8. Public servants need not be our priests. Any business that compensated its employees in the way that the federal government compensates public servants would struggle to survive. 9. We should show far more grace towards those who have subjected themselves to public life. The eradication of any space for forgiveness—a jettisoning of any tolerance for the complexities and contradictions of the human psyche—may leave us with a cast of characters at the helm we will grow to regret. 10. The psychologization of modern politics is leading us astray. Those who look to the political arena to nourish their soul and sense of self, who rely too heavily on their internal life finding expression in people they may never meet, will be left disappointed. 11. Our society has grown too eager to hasten, and is often gleeful at, the demise of its enemies. The vanquishing of an opponent is a moment to pause, not rejoice. 12. The atomic age is ending. One age of deterrence, the atomic age, is ending, and a new era of deterrence built on A.I. is set to begin. 13. No other country in the history of the world has advanced progressive values more than this one. The United States is far from perfect. But it is easy to forget how much more opportunity exists in this country for those who are not hereditary elites than in any other nation on the planet. 14. American power has made possible an extraordinarily long peace. Too many have forgotten or perhaps take for granted that nearly a century of some version of peace has prevailed in the world without a great power military conflict. At least three generations — billions of people and their children and now grandchildren — have never known a world war. 15. The postwar neutering of Germany and Japan must be undone. The defanging of Germany was an overcorrection for which Europe is now paying a heavy price. A similar and highly theatrical commitment to Japanese pacifism will, if maintained, also threaten to shift the balance of power in Asia. 16. We should applaud those who attempt to build where the market has failed to act. The culture almost snickers at Musk’s interest in grand narrative, as if billionaires ought to simply stay in their lane of enriching themselves . . . . Any curiosity or genuine interest in the value of what he has created is essentially dismissed, or perhaps lurks from beneath a thinly veiled scorn. 17. Silicon Valley must play a role in addressing violent crime. Many politicians across the United States have essentially shrugged when it comes to violent crime, abandoning any serious efforts to address the problem or take on any risk with their constituencies or donors in coming up with solutions and experiments in what should be a desperate bid to save lives. 18. The ruthless exposure of the private lives of public figures drives far too much talent away from government service. The public arena—and the shallow and petty assaults against those who dare to do something other than enrich themselves—has become so unforgiving that the republic is left with a significant roster of ineffectual, empty vessels whose ambition one would forgive if there were any genuine belief structure lurking within. 19. The caution in public life that we unwittingly encourage is corrosive. Those who say nothing wrong often say nothing much at all. 20. The pervasive intolerance of religious belief in certain circles must be resisted. The elite’s intolerance of religious belief is perhaps one of the most telling signs that its political project constitutes a less open intellectual movement than many within it would claim. 21. Some cultures have produced vital advances; others remain dysfunctional and regressive. All cultures are now equal. Criticism and value judgments are forbidden. Yet this new dogma glosses over the fact that certain cultures and indeed subcultures . . . have produced wonders. Others have proven middling, and worse, regressive and harmful. 22. We must resist the shallow temptation of a vacant and hollow pluralism. We, in America and more broadly the West, have for the past half century resisted defining national cultures in the name of inclusivity. But inclusion into what?

@TheHoogie The fact Mandelson has been sacked twice, has links to Russia & China and had known links with Epstein, yet they gave him a top job is truly bewildering. How can anyone trust his judgement again?
English
@SiMartin73 Sure. It strikes me as an odd appointment given how everyone says how bad it obviously was
English
In much the same way that there's no way that Nigel Farage wasn't aware about Nathan Gill.

‘There’s no way that Keir Starmer wasn’t aware that Mandelson hadn’t passed Developed Vetting… I’m almost certain of this fact because I read it on Andrew Tate’s Twitter feed, and to crown it off, his post was liked by Russell Brand…’ Nigel Farage

@clarkson_geoff @Conservatives They will try anything.
The Tories weren't worried about the public purse when it came to their PPE fast lanes were they?!!!

@AlanMakMP @Conservatives Most contracts are hours per week, not days per week.
I had a job where I was contracted 37.5 hours.
Some weeks I worked 4 days, other weeks were 4.5 days, but still 37.5 hours.
Any extra hours worked, I got paid overtime.
Enough of the bullshit little man.
English
Conservatives will ban councils giving their workers 5 days’ pay for 4-day working week.
The @Conservatives ban would cover council workers at Labour-led #Havant Borough Council.
Residents deserve full-time services for full-time pay.
