So this illegal & immoral #RefugeeBanBill passes second reading, 312 to 270, trashing international law, running roughshod over human rights, & shaming us all. It’s not refugees who are threat to this country, it’s the Tory government. But opposition will only grow #StopTheBill

BP CEO paypacket doubled to £10m.
BP profits doubled, fuelled inflation.
Real wage cuts for workers - private sector pay rising by 7.3%; govt offering public sector 3.5%; inflation (RPI) 13.4%.
No Govt curbs on corporate profiteering or fat-cat exec pay.

I used to think that today's so-called "artificial intelligences" are actually pretty dumb. But I've recently changed my mind. In this video I want to explain why I think that they do understand some of what they do, if not very much.
