  Well Mark, you had the chance to back a welsh-made language learning app startup (made by a friend of mine) and passed them up so they’ve moved onto other things.

  Don’t act surprised when an American language learning app decides to drop a relatively obscure language like Welsh.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Brexit has completely failed for UK, say clear majority of Britons – poll⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I voted remain and I’m not joking: push Brexit voters into the ocean.

  It’d increase the country’s average IQ by at least 10 points and significantly reduce the number of racists and grifters in the country.

  (Yes I know not everyone who voted for brexit was racist, but all racists voted for brexit)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨the Sun reacts to Zephaniah applying for a Cambridge visiting fellowship⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Fuck the Sun. Fuck the Tories.

  Fuck London. How about Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds and the rest of the north secede from England and create Neo Mercia.

  Suella it’s very fucking simple:

  Is there a problem with the immigration system and a large influx of migrants? Yes.

  Do you need to use dehumanising language like “swarm” and “invasion” implying you’d stop refugees with a gaint can of Raid Insect Repellent? No.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UK ‘in violation of international law’ over poverty levels, says UN envoy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The UN wasn’t set up to prevent atrocities like Palestine/Israel.

  It was set up to prevent large multi-nation conflicts like WW1 and WW2 by providing a platform for dialogue & diplomacy between multiple countries WITH a standing army acting as a peacekeeping force.

  Unfortunately, proxy conflicts like Israel/Palestine still occur.

  If you ever feel uninformed about history, remember the comment above exists.

  So about the arms trade…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UK government keeping files on teaching assistants and librarians’ internet activity⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  UK government: Runs ads to encourage more people to enter teaching.

  Also UK government: spies on teachers who need better policies to actually do their jobs.

  Fishy Rishi’s Family IT firm Infosec signed $1.5bn deal with BP 2 months before he opened up North Sea Oil drilling access

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We'll bulldoze local blocks on housing, says Keir Starmer⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, Angela made that clear that they’ll be “holding developers to account for their obligations” for building social and affordable housing which sounds like strongly enforcing the percentage rules on new developments.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gillian Keegan pledges crackdown on mobiles in schools⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  So here’s your two options for doing this:

  1. Phone signal jammer - illegal because you are purposefully interfering over a licensed radio band.

  2. Retrofit all classrooms into a Faraday cage - impractical because ludicrously expensive.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Third of medical students plan to quit NHS within two years of graduating⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s the only viable medical career path at the moment: graduate with your degree, do upto 2 years in the NHS then go into the private sector (private or NHS contracts) or abroad.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UK to return to EU’s flagship Horizon science research programme⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree. The UK universities that act as major hubs for research and innovation are still around and still have a good reputation. The Brexit political forces have damaged the sector, but it’s not dead and it can be fixed if talented international teams feel confident to invest their people in the UK to leverage the institutions we have.

  I think that the Brexit gang had the idea that all modern UK innovation was being done by Brunel and Newton types: the myth of a single person who though sheer will bring forth technological & scientific disruption.

  It’s completely the wrong idea. Hopefully, when they see that showing commitment to international and Europe-wide collaboration brings back the top-talent they’re so despite for, they’ll swallow their misplaced pride.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UK to return to EU’s flagship Horizon science research programme⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Thank fucking god!

  The UK research sector is one of the next biggest outside of the financial services sector.

  Now, align standards, and get a fucking deal together with Norway over oil, offshore wind, and grid interconnectors or something that is mutually beneficial so that they don’t veto entry into the EEA.

  Get into the EEA, learn to take the rules that the multinational corporations and other 3rd countries do if they want to sell to the worlds 3rd largest market.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Germany refuses to extradite man to UK over concerns about British jail conditions⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah it is.

  It’s so bad that the Home Office is issuing quotas for “High-priority” crime which is code for solve things that make the news headlines: large scale drug busts, charging murderers, seizing large sums of cash and assets.

  But they’re completely deprioritising other crimes from bike theft to shoplifting to domestic violence and reducing the amount of community engagement activities.

  Addressing smaller crimes and having officers engaged with the community is essential for fostering a safe environment. And here’s the kicker; the more these low-level crimes go unpunished, the more high-level crimes happen are more likely to happen when fuelled by economic downturn.
