@Artemisapphire I can attest to this. They took a chance on me when I was 19 and looking for a start in the tech industry. Got years of great training and even better experience before going on to work for the private sector in the UK as a senior engineer. I owe my career to the beeb.

There are multiple reasons this is a bad idea I'll go through each one by one for anyone who can be arsed to find out The only people who won't be arsed are people who think this only for ideological, NOT rational reasons 1/🧵

Privatise the BBC. If I want to watch it I’ll subscribe, as I do to channels that make programmes that I want to watch/ listen to. No one should be forced to pay £169.50 for a service they may never use, merely because they watch other things on a television.

1. Here are my thoughts on the pros and cons of staying on this platform. Pro: We were here long before Musk took it over. We built this. Con: He has used our creation to help elect a far-right autocrat, and build his own grim political career. 🧵

An important reminder today for Londoners: our city is - and will always be - for everyone. We will always be pro-women, pro-diversity, pro-climate and pro-human rights. These are some of the values that will continue to bind us together as Londoners.

I feel like we are in the same place today but with phones. They are so ubiquitous and as of yet we haven't really decided they are harmful (maybe they aren't - who knows). Can you imagine a sci-fi movie where everyone doesn't just have a fancy mobile phone on them at all times?

I think the best way to cure a virus is to rub it in salt and spices and leave it in a cool dry room for 3-4 days

Leave it to Geoff to stay silent on strikes and crunch culture, but then start shouting from the rooftops about how $700 isn't that much money to give a company for a mid-gen upgrade
