As with recall, saving screen shots of web sites, this is another example of where Microsoft pose a serious safeguarding and privacy risk to children and young people.

If documents are saved to the cloud by default, this can have implications for owprivacy, confidentiality etc esp where information is legally required to be stored securely. If I understand things, a court case can fail due to the smallest thing. By failing it is the difference between gulity or not guilty based on the episodes.

You only need to look at the UK MOD,the Afghan refugees and the information 'leaked' where doing so can have serious consequences, if the taliban gain access they will target any people still in the country OR target their families still in the country and the way the taliban deal with them is hardly humane in some cases.

How long will it be before this information falls in to the wrong hands (or ai model) and ends up causing serious or deadly consequences.?

@jacqui76 @Geri

Yeah I agree 100 percent with this, it is going to turn out badly for everyone, however both Labour and Tories have FAILED, we are handing an election victory to parties who, as trump did tell people what they want to hear, people see what Trump is doing with ICE and don't by in to the fact we can't just do that here, Trump issues exec orders for mass deportation, then one to try adn change the consitution if it gets in the way, brands lawyers / judges corrupt if they say the law won't let him do what he wants.

Reform do have one other policy, Rip up net zero, even when some of those policies are actually working.

I don't support Reform but feel each win for them, is a kick up the backside for the current 2 party alternatives, for them to come up with a proper long term plan to deal with the issues at hand.

@zleap @Geri

Reform don't have any other policies - other than to make themselves rich and massage Nigel's ego. If that means destroying the country, then so be it. I just hope the UK union implodes as a consequence of this turn towards Reform.

Just to add that the pilot episode "The Cage" had Christopher Pike as the Captain, parts of this episode was also in the Menagerie.

When I read the post, I suspected the above was the case, so I looked up the pilot episode on Wikipedia [1]. This was a really good episode. I think Pike was the 2nd captain, the first being Archer (star trek: enterprise). I think there is also cross over with Christopher Pike in one of the more recent spin off sequel series, Discovery. I need to watch those again at some point.

Yes, those of us who were warning of what would happen (or trying to) were branded woke, leftist loonies or something like that by papers such as the dailyfail, who to this day, seem to flip flop as to if Trump is good or bad.

@uk

Granted this is Birmingham, and not London, but perhaps if police paid more attention to crime and not protests we would see less theft. Just a thought if they can arrest 400+ people at a protest (peaceful) they can easily arrest people guilty of theft and other crimes that really DO impact people.

Astronomers have discovered a super massive black hole (SMBH) at the center of the well-known Cosmic Horseshoe Einstein Ring system.

Using gravitational lensing effects and stellar kinematics (how an SMBH affects the motion of stars around it) and data on asymmetrically placed lensed images of another distant galaxy, the mass of the SMBH is estimated at 36 billion solar masses, close to a new record. The galaxy itself is estimated at 5.2 trillion solar masses.

There is meant to be a 1000 strong protest today in the UK with the police threatening to arrest people taking part, the joke is that people face 14 year in non existent prison places if they protest, so they know they won't go to prison, the idea will be the same as last time clog up the system.

Meanwhile shoplifting is on tbe rise with no police in sight, unless you try and tackle the shoplifter and risk arrest in doidng so.

While people have the right to free speech and free expression, that right comes with the demand we are responsible for what we say / write / do etc. So perhaps in this case, an employer also has the right to sack you for saying or writing something homo/trans phobic. The victim(s) also have the right to complain. Linehan clearly knows what he is saying, has been told it is not really acceptable, so has been warned.

Surely a lot of this could easily be dealt with, using existing policies, procedures, codes of conduct and laws.

Common sense should tell the police they don't need to take a heavy handed approach to deal with it, perhaps that should be saved for dealing with theft, burglary, rape and violent crime and other crimes that seem to be plaguing cities such as London on a hourly basis.

If the government want to really deal with abuse, then perhaps these new worker rights laws, need to be written with specific clauses that if you do, say, write certain things, you can be sacked with due process, otherwise the employer can be sued by the victim. Employers have this right, but those rights need to be backed up in law.

That way, people such as Linehan can find themselves unemployable with only themselves to blame.

@NatalieDavis

There is nothing to fear, as this IS the plan, Trump and Netanyahu may not say that in an explicit way but we know they want to remove the people of Gaza and take over the area.

✅Scotland is to BAN funding for Israel's arms dealers!

Scottish Greens have long fought for this change, alongside Amnesty, Oxfam, and others.
