a timely reminder of Keynesianism ~ how much cash we have in our economy, depends on how much has been issued, vs how much is snaffled away on foreign exchanges #c4news
future events are usually beyond control ~ preparedness, training, and decisions are what gets things done #c4news
still something the government can do, in an instant ~
reduce the tax-taken from care-workers. Every penny less tax there, improves pay for carers *AND* makes care more affordable #c4news (be it private *or* NHS)
hey big news ~ Police (and whoever), do their job.
Well done guys ~ let's hope Trump is suitably impressed
#c4news though he'll probably claim the CIA did it.
Chris Philp talking ultra-tory bollocks.
The country can afford whatever we politically decide to do. Social care shouldn't be seen as a cost burden but rather an investment with real societal returns.

quite ~ it should always seek to understand *all* sides of any argument, rather than its usual of fawning to one whilst ridiculing (often) the other #bbclaurak
I'd like to have heard the rest of that conversation as the credits were rolling #bbclaurak ...anyone lipread?
"Crude labels" Gloria refers to, usually created as moron-fodder by our media controllers #bbclaurak
"Captured impartiality" ... I'm actually warming to him now ... I'll believe him if he clears out the old-guard establishment controlling @bbcPolitics #bbclaurak
iplayer is far better than youtube/netflix/etc ~ this guy's just trying to move his paygrade onto open market rates ~ the BBC's present insularity is it's biggest strength #bbclaurak ...and what Murdoch et al have to compete with.
"We have to live within our means" keeping to the lie that an economy based on paper money, has to watch the pennies = nonsense #LearnMMT #bbclaurak
Piddington is a "small community" that has benefited from its proximity to an MoD site. That MoD site is needed for emergency accommodation, and it's perfect for it #bbclaurak
Burnham's right about the wrongs. People are whiped out by health costs, care costs. Around a third of that cost is collected by HMRC on care worker wages! #bbclaurak
if the tax office wasn't so greedy with care-workers, the cost of care could come down by most of a third! #bbclaurak
nope ~ not if it's running on a local model ~ up to 20gigs to download and you'll want a decent GPU, but runs on your own machine.
last one out of OpenAI, please turn the AI off when you put the lights out for the night #c4news
