I have much to say.

Take this, for example. Let's be real. Starmer appointed Mandelson with the knowledge that the latter had close ties with Epstein. In Starmer's view, the political risk associated with this appointment was offset by Mandelson's potential to foster good relations with Trump, and the fact that Mandelson is perceived to be an effective political operator despite his twisted moral compass.

In this context, the technicality of whether Madelson passed vetting and who knew what when isn't actually that relevant.

not always - 1 person 'may' be told depending on specific role, but they are only allowed to share with the individual and no-one else.

Whether someone applies for , passes or fails is confidential information and not to be shared with anyone, irrespective of job, rank or position,

"AI" has deduced that the more intelligent you are, the easier it is to be able to decipher SPAG errors caused by spearchuckers.

This fact is a corollary to the connection between low intelligence, and an almost pathological urge to comment on online SPAG errors from an erroneous position of education.

It also suggests ignorance of Muphry's law. Which is curious in posters who claim intelligence.

It's axiomatic that you should not know what you don't know.

Yep.

If you look up thread, you will see that I was pilloried for misspelling Starmer’s first name.

Which way do you want it?

Was your penultimate line deliberate??

Ha, that's brilliant!

I like learning new things!

Time for an intermission perhaps?

Now you may stay your hand in SPAG wars 😀

I can't suually type a single thing without a typo so never comment anyway.

RaynOr , though, is almost always deliberalte.. I think the Kier thing is spellchekcers or capitalism decidign the construction firm is correct (thye aren't).

Left my typos in for coemdy.

Sometimes my fi gers runaway with me so much that even I can decipher what I meant to type. I also have a tendency to miss the space bar on my phone with the result that, rather than continually accidentally minimise my browser I've added a row of navigation arrows as a bugger which means that I so. Ply jump. Around what I was typing. tn

The tiny racist will not be happy:

If you combine shitty bitty phone keyboards and overly confident spellcheckers with the famous loucheness of English as She is spoken, it's a mackerel that anything gets done.

Aye pet

It'll make them nice and snug and waterproof 😊

I have much to say

No shit Sherlock

Ofcourse the less said.....

When certain types of poster mistype KS' name, I do tend to think it's intentional. Context is everything, and where there's one sneer, there are usually more.

Exactly

Isn’t she the weirdo that simulated shooting an immigrant in the head? Wants public executions.
Big loss to the UK.

Hopefully watching Australian animals grappling with a mirror for 10 minutes will lift everyones spirits a little as we all take a moment to reflect on what intelligence may or may not actually be.

TW:There are some cloyingly cute moments ....

Loved the possum!

Loved the Red Necked Wallaby. That’s very similar to my reaction to seeing myself 8n a mirror unexpectedly!

Lovely. It reminds me of one of the things I often ponder. How does my dog know what another dog looks like? Whether it’s a chihuahua, Dachshund or Irish Wolfhound, none of which look anything like a miniature Schnauzer he will always recognise them, even from a great distance, as another dog (and start barking).
