I’m fed up with certain politicians saying we need to “respect” the result of the 2016 Brexit referendum.
A decision by a narrow majority 10yrs ago that turned out to be a disaster does not have to be respected.
If a democracy cannot change its mind it ceases to be a democracy.

Why can’t hackers do something useful and relatable? Don’t be fucking around with freezers. Hack into Mastercard and wipe out all evidence of spending. Lower the prices at petrol pumps. Shut down Microsoft Teams, or takedown Outlook for 72 hours. Win hearts and minds!

HMRC uses 103 IT systems, front line staff use on average 17 software programmes to deal with a straightforward case.
Years of underinvestment

Two questions.
1. Why the fuck does a fridge freezer need to be connected to the internet?
2. Why the fuck does a fridge freezer have heat settings up to 70C? Who the fuck wants to warm their food up in a fridge freezer?

In an utterly hilarious development, those five British people who were arrested in Northern France for ‘threatening migrants’ have been ordered to pay €500 each to a migrant aid organisation.
