  Surely the cost implication of bringing it in house would be much higher, no?

  It says that many of these 1.3 million people are on low wage jobs - if they were brough into government contracts they would cost more no?

  It seems to me that you’re damned if you do and damned if you dont

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The government is keeping a list of people who question their policies⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I do wonder whether this has happened so that they can follow the spread of misinformation online, it’s origins and how it propagates online.

  Either way, it’s a bad look as it means that the party in charge has to maintain it’s grip over the people or the other side gain the same powers they currently have, leading to authoritarianism no matter which way you go.

  I hate the common sense, knowledge of your field and respect & decency seems to be some of the lowest priorities on the list of things needed to be working in government.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Museums warn against charges for overseas tourists⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Have to disagree with you on this one.

  This just brings us in line with most of Europe.

  Admittedly, I’d like to see something whereby if you produce British ID you get to go in so still keeping UK people free from charges. Failing that, standard charge for all UK Citizens (or a discounted yearly pass like National Trust) and one for non UK visitors.

  Twice so close together?

  One could speculate that the CEO, Neal McMahon, could be carrying the weight for the government of possible undisclosed cyber attacks from foreign actors - hence why he’s still in a job.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lifeboat station in Portsmouth forced to temporarily shut after far-right action⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Great. Now boat loads of unknown people come ashore - we don’t know who they are, we don’t know how many,

  and the far right complete their own self fulfilling prophecy.

  Twats!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Former shoplifter ran 'steal-to-order' Whatsapp group⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I chose shoplifting because it was the most moral crime I could choose.

  What is she? Birmingham’s answer to Omar from ‘The Wire’?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Female asylum seekers report being sexually assaulted by British men⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably by the same people complaining about them wearing face coverings.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UK government rejects 'kill switch' idea for dangerous AI⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If they can shut down a nuclear f**king reactor, they can shut down AI.

  This isn’t the Cabinet Office speaking, this is the Cabinet Office acting like a Vassal mouth piece for Big Tech.
