The UK Just Went Orwell 1984 – And Apple Might Be Its First Victim
You know the NSA outsourced this work to the UK don't you? It's no coincidence the UK is demanding this, why do you think they're demanding this? I am almost certain that this entire thing is driven by the US, the best customer GCHQ ever had. They've been trying to get this kind of thing in for years. They can't do it in the US but it can be done in the UK which is conveniently one of the '5 eyes'. -

The West’s DEI Obsession is Its Own Undoing – Can Britain Break Free?
No Britain will not break free. DEI is in keeping with it's 2 tier system. It even allows you to be cleared of racism if you are not white. Even when it is caught on camera in a police station. Just mention white privilege and you're good to go. Sam Kerr knows the rules. She proved them in court. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp9xpv8105jo -

Labours New Health Minister Ashley Dalton: people should be able to identify as LLAMAS
Newly appointed Health Minister Ashley Dalton has come under scrutiny for her past remarks on gender identity, same-sex bathrooms, and even the concept of people identifying as animals. Dalton, who was elected as MP for West Lancashire in 2023, has previously expressed support for removing gender-specific toilets and has defended individuals who choose to identify outside traditional categories. Keir Starmer’s decision to promote Dalton follows the dismissal of Andrew Gwynne from the role due to his involvement in a controversial WhatsApp group. However, the Prime Minister now faces mounting questions over Dalton’s stance on gender issues. During a discussion on Twitter in 2016, she firmly stated: “Trans women aren’t male. They’re women.” She further argued, “Personally I think we shouldn’t have gendered bathrooms at all.” When questioned on whether this applied to changing rooms, Dalton responded: “Loads of places already do this with cubicles for privacy.” Another resurfaced Twitter exchange from 2016 has fueled further debate, as Dalton was asked whether people should be taken seriously if they identified as a llama. Her response was unequivocal: “Yes. And treat you with dignity and respect.” Before her promotion, Dalton served as Shadow Minister for Women while Labour was in opposition. Her views on gender identity have reignited discussions within political circles, particularly concerning Labour’s stance on gender recognition laws. When questioned about Dalton’s past statements, the Prime Minister’s official spokesperson distanced the government from her remarks, stating, “Comments made by MPs are one for the Labour Party, not for me. But you’ve got the Government’s position on gender more broadly.” Despite Labour’s previous commitment to “modernising” gender recognition laws, the proposed reforms were notably absent from last year’s King’s Speech outlining government priorities. Reports suggest that ministers have shelved these plans amid growing concerns over the polling surge of Reform UK. Dalton’s appointment marks a contentious moment for the Labour government, with critics and supporters alike debating her views and their potential impact on policy decisions in her new role as Health Minister.

‘Long live AI’: Macron pitches France as the place to build AI over UK and US
French President Emmanuel Macron speaks during the Artificial Intelligence Action Summit at the Grand Palais in Paris (Michel Euler/AP) French President Emmanuel Macron has urged artificial intelligence (AI) firms to choose France and Europe for their AI development, as he closed the first day of the AI Action Summit in Paris. The two-day summit has been seen as a key moment for nations to stake their claim as global leaders in AI, especially in the wake of the recent disruption caused by the Chinese app DeepSeek, which has created a potential power vacuum in the AI sector. The UK’s Technology Secretary, Peter Kyle, is attending the summit and highlighted the UK’s newly launched AI Opportunities Action Plan. This plan promises significant investments in AI infrastructure and aims to integrate AI more broadly into the public sector, streamlining operations. Mr Kyle stated before the summit that the UK’s action plan would reinforce the country’s position as a pioneer in the field. However, President Macron made a passionate case for France as a competitor to both the UK and the US in the race for AI dominance. Speaking at the summit, Macron emphasised that French and European regulations would safeguard copyright and protect human creativity. He reassured attendees that France would not abandon the values it holds dear, including the preservation of a fair and regulated digital landscape. In his appeal to major US tech companies, such as Google and OpenAI, Macron stated that France would collaborate with partners globally, regardless of geopolitical tensions. He noted that both France and the European Union were committed to introducing “smart regulation” to ensure responsible AI development. Macron also highlighted France’s energy resources as a key factor in its competitiveness. He pointed out that France’s vast nuclear energy capacity made it a more sustainable and viable location for large-scale data centres, which are essential to power the energy-hungry AI sector. In contrast, he took a swipe at US President Donald Trump’s emphasis on drilling for oil, saying, “It’s just ‘plug, baby, plug’. Electricity is available. You can plug. It’s ready.” Ahead of the summit, Macron had announced an investment of around £91 billion in French AI projects over the next few years. He declared that this investment would allow France to reassert its position in the global AI race. On the second day of the summit, further announcements were expected, including the unveiling of a new EU AI strategy focused on regulation and investment in computing capacity. Concluding his speech, Macron delivered an emphatic statement: “Long live AI, long live the Republic, and long live France.” On Tuesday 11 February, world leaders are set to discuss key issues around AI development, including sustainability, safety, and governance. A new declaration on the future of AI is expected to be signed at the summit’s close. Based on an article from the Independent 11.02.2025. -- 2025-02-12 -

US Woman Sues Tate Brothers, Alleging They Lured Her Into Sex Work
A woman in the United States has filed a lawsuit against Andrew and Tristan Tate, accusing the controversial internet personalities of conspiring to coerce her into sex work, luring her to Romania, and defaming her after she provided testimony to Romanian authorities. The civil complaint, filed in Florida on Monday 10 February, was first reported by The New York Times and is the first known lawsuit against the Tate brothers to be brought in the United States. The brothers, who have gained notoriety on social media, are already facing multiple legal battles in Romania and Britain. They stand accused of forming an organised criminal group, human trafficking, trafficking of minors, engaging in sexual intercourse with a minor, and money laundering. Both have denied any wrongdoing. The woman, identified in court documents as Jane Doe, previously faced a defamation lawsuit from the Tate brothers in 2023. In her lawsuit, she claims the brothers sought to “bully and harass” her through their legal action. The Times reported that Doe, aged 23, along with her parents, had been granted anonymity by the court due to safety concerns. Representatives for Andrew and Tristan Tate were not immediately available for comment. However, their lawyer, Joseph D. McBride, told The New York Times that there was no evidence his clients had engaged in human trafficking and that “the truth is on their side.” Andrew Tate, 38, and his brother Tristan, 36, are among the most high-profile suspects facing trial for human trafficking in Romania. Last month, a Romanian court lifted Andrew Tate’s house arrest, replacing it with a less restrictive preventative measure while the criminal investigation continues. He had been under house arrest since August 2024, when prosecutors opened a second criminal case against him, his brother, and four other suspects. A previous criminal case against Andrew Tate was dismissed in December when the Bucharest Court of Appeals ruled against his prosecution and sent the case back to investigators. The Tate brothers, both former kickboxers with dual U.S. and British citizenship, continue to deny all allegations and have claimed they are victims of a politically motivated campaign. -- 2025-02-12
