The future of AI

Lord T, whose field is IT (slightly longer profile below the article), has sent a piece on where "AI" is headed ... he should know as he has to negotiate these things in a professional capacity.

The topic which dare not speak its name

Some of you good folk, not many, know we have enemy eyes here too at Orphans who love to snitch to the PTB ... who in turn have promptly erred on the side of untruth and stolen yet another post.  No matter ... the consensus will eventually get even to them on v**x *nj*r**s.

Meanwhile, this post today is this text below from Lord Toby's site:

“In this special episode of the Sceptic, host Laurie Wastell brings together four different perspectives on the growing problem of Muslim sectarianism in Britain. Guy Dampier of the Prosperity Institute shows how Pakistani clan structures led to the grooming gangs; researcher Daniel Dieppe highlights how the London Borough of Tower Hamlets fell to Bangladeshi-Muslim electoral corruption; the Critic‘s Chris Bayliss looks at how state authorities responded to Birmingham’s banning of Israeli football fans; and journalist David Shipley and Laurie discuss what the Labour Government’s latest social cohesion plan shows about how it’s approaching multiculturalism’s pathologies.”

Now, being both totally disinterested, plus not interested in their internecine tribal warfare, the obvious question is who can nip it in the bud, from the City to the Sea? Which comes down to the council elections first, which should favour Reform in most cases, which means more of the same policies, with a lot of lip service to the contrary …

… or Restore, still a work in progress and many are still not “admitting it yet” except in conversation., certainly not in any official poll. That’s it for now on the first topic above, otherwise this post too will be stolen.

But on the Reform, Restore thing, it reminds me of one of those 70s skits on tele ... may have been Python, Two Ronnies, whatever ... and it had a couple at a restaurant table complaining bitterly to each other about the food, the service, the hygiene ... in a most amusing way.

Maitre D walks past their table and asks how everything is ... food, service etc.

"Lovely thanks."

"Super."

That's Reform, the Jim Jordan of Britain ... bitterly moaning but then does nothing to alter it.  Now it's a fair criticism that Restore are in no position, currently, to take power and effect change but they're in a better place than Flip Flop Farage's "reed in the wind" "be nice to each in turn, in different company" policies ... the mark of mendacious politicians.

And so political debate and change goes on and on and on in Britain, nothing changing whilst we admire Ireland from afar ... with no one willing to stick the neck out and do a Lucy Connolly.  More than me jobsworth, mate.

Sure They Will...!

Reader, they couldn't find or rather keep a man, but they are going to find the solution!

Do I worry that as a single mum I’m more likely to raise a toxic boy? It’s complicated. I am of course terrified of my son – who does not yet own a phone – getting online and being fed the sort of misogynistic poison shown on Louis Theroux’s important, but flawed, Inside The Manosphere, which is still going great guns on Netflix. But does being a single mother actually increase that risk?

Probably, it increases all sorts of risks, which is why it was once something to avoid… 

Surprise, surprise: an opportunity to blame women, some of society’s hardest working at that, for the behaviour of men.

The toxic figures platformed in Theroux’s documentary, and the boys and young men being radicalised online, have not turned out this way because they were raised by single mothers.

No, it’s because of money, or rather, lack of it:

Reaching, yet again, for tired statistics – often drawn from outdated studies – about boys in single-parent homes (while ignoring the underlying economic factors) completely misses the point.Conversations like this only compound society’s suspicion of single mothers, reinforcing a narrative that positions them as part of the problem rather than recognising toxic masculinity as the real issue.

Forty-three per cent of children in lone-parent households live in poverty, compared to 26 per cent in two-parent families. It is economically difficult, and often impossible, for single-income households to meet the basic costs of family life.

That's one of the reasons why, for thousand of years, it's been discouraged. But you yhought you knew better, didn't you?

Children from the lowest-income households face stark inequalities: lower GCSE attainment, higher rates of emotional difficulties, and a significantly increased likelihood of experiencing poverty in adulthood. Yes, there is a correlation between these outcomes and single parenthood, but for obvious economic reasons.

Economic reasons that dictate that the ideal set up is a TWO parent houshold! The answer's staring you in the face!  But none so blind, and all that...

Another Sensible Policy

,,,that we'll never see implemented:

Reform UK would stop issuing visas to people from any country that continues to demand compensation from the UK for its role in the transatlantic trade in enslaved people, the party has said.

Who could possibly object to that? Well, of course, the 'Guardian' will find some:

The CRC’s chair, Prof Sir Hilary Beckles, speaking at a lecture in London during its first official visit to the UK, said the commission’s ultimate aim was for the UK and its former colonies to identify mutual strategies for a mutually beneficial restorative justice programme. 

“Every week, we open the newspapers and we hear the most terrible things about these reparations people from the Caribbean. Some have said that we have come here to break the British Treasury by demanding millions and billions and billions of pounds. And they have consistently tried to discredit what is an ongoing moral and ethical argument for justice, the right to justice,” he said during the lecture.

Go to hell, grifter! You have no moral standing whatsoever! Like Longrider, I have my doubts that such a policy would be instigated, even if Reform were to form a government. Too many enemies within in the civil service to sabotage it.

Gold, silver, metals and stones

There's copious material, this Tuesday morn, on the burning church, on the mosque inside the Vatican, on all sorts of CofE corruption, or Orthodox tales ... that's too much of a rabbit hole early morn ... shall look at that over at Unherdables later.

Today at Orphans ... money.  Mammon. As in how to preserve whatever hard assets you have. Zero Hedge, predictably, suggest this:

How many of you would risk govt bonds and securities today in the west?  As for gold, I saw this:

Life's Grey And Miserable Enough...

...in Skegness:

A school in a seaside town known for ice cream and chips has banished "beige" food in a bid to help pupils eat more healthily. Skegness Grammar School has ditched sausage rolls and pizza in favour of "nutritious" alternatives, such as smashed pea and feta pitta bread and waffles with fruit.

I bet they sell like hot cakes (which are probably banned too!).

Head teacher Lorraine Walker said: "There was a lot of beige food on offer, and we wanted to support our students to get a balanced diet."

Lady, if your sausage rolls are beige instead of golden brown, they are undercooked! 

Not everyone agrees with the move, however. Chloe, a year nine student, said: "They've changed it to healthier, but it's not as good quality. Everyone's talking about it in lessons, that they don't like it."

But there’s always one little suck-up in every classroom: 

Tom, a year 13 student, said he found the food "very nutritious" and "tasty". He had noticed a positive effect on his peers since the change. Some pupils did "miss" the old menu, he added. "But they know it is for the greater good."

Tom has a future ahead of him as a politician! 

Mark and Sarah Wheatley, both 60, said the most important thing was to have a balanced diet.Sarah added: "Some are quite fussy. And if they're not eating that, then they're not eating nothing, are they?"

I guess they didn’t attend a school that taught them about double-negatives, even if the lunch was delicious….

The contrived Generation War, using pensions and benefits as the vehicle

Here are some screenshots, mainly from one pundit, versus Miriam Cates and a genuine Gen Zee Jess Gill. She uses GB News to attack pensioners on the State Pension.

The argument centres around the poor youngsters supposedly having nothing coz the nasty Boomers refuse to give them their money and provide, while their lives were cushy and secure in boomer days. Interesting ... I don't recall my parents providing everything still after 21 ... they expected I'd get a job and pay for myself.  No job, no benefits.

On the other hand, the young have a point in this respect ... the Uniparty are ensuring that 18 to 30 are today mentally deficient, ignorant, uneducated, violent and undisciplined and many of those miscreants ruining kids are leftist women, quite a few being boomers ... yes.

Anyway, in no particular order:

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss?

In order to run this post at Orphans, our various positions need restating, plus where we're the same. My libertarian mate says we're only ever going to agree, at best, on around 80% of things.  I note our Julia concentrates on the minutiae of our western, civic life, even British life ... for example:

... whereas I tend to go for the westwide topics in the X news, from a strongly antiWoke, antiUniparty, antiDeepState, anti WEF, antiTavistock, antiEU, antiVaxx, anti ClimateBollox, antiFabian stance.  With both of us, we want our civic life back, our heritage ... on X, I'm constantly retweeting Old Britain, Old England, even Old France, US, Canada, even down to old architecture versus the new brutalism.

Julia has strong views on arrogant cyclists and dangerous dogs ... I agree.

As far as the party political goes, within Britain for example, I'm thnking both Julia and I are antiUniparty, esp. on illegals and women's safety. Think it's safe enough saying that.

Trouble is that there's a confused dissident scene just now.  It was all pretty clear for awhile, up to Clacton ... the dissident side were fairly "at one" ... but then something happened ... one of the Reform MPs had the police called on him, a rough speaking farmer ... by M25 bubble, City types, plus by one of the "invaders" who seemed to have become their mate.

That could only result in a split, nothing less.

Is it lack of anger or just fatigue?

This was the exchange which kicked it off:

Then, two days ago, was this:

Yes, fatigue at all the constant assaults on us, our lives, on the most vulnerable parts of our populations, whilst ... well, you know the "whilst".

But it's more than that ... it's the constant "unfairness", designed to make us humiliated and angry in favour of all the wrong people.  And even as I sit here typing, looking out of the window, upwards, they're laying chemtrails again in order to kill off the sun.  These are demonic criminals we're dealing with.

They want, planned and need conflagration, dead bodies. If they can't get em through war, they do it through vaxxes and lockdowns, through speaying.  How do they continue to get away with it?  Rampant fraud of course, devoid of conscience.

Are You Not Getting The Attention You Feel You Deserve? Westfield Has Your Back!

Your backPACK, that is....

Westfield London understands that guests with additional sensory needs may find visiting our centre a daunting experience. To help support guest’s visits, we offer sensory packs that have been selected with key sensory items to offer children and adults a broad range of sensory opportunities and therapeutic benefits.

And they are bright red, and labelled, so everyobe can see you are a special person, not just one of the hoi polloi.

The pack has been designed to support people living with a wide range of disabilities who are likely to benefit from sensory resources to make their shopping experience more enjoyable.

I work in Stratford and have to go through Westfield - what would make it more enjoyable for me is a free stab-vest or a compete ban on diversity. It would certainly make it safer.

But this is not what the people who are the target of this advert want, they want the cachet of being different, special and singled out for special treatment and attention.

Our sensory packs contain items such as ear defenders and sunglasses to help with noise and light sensitivity, fiddle toys to keep hands busy and relieve stress and feeling fans to express how you are feeling.

I thought about Googling ‘feeling fans’ to find out what they are but thought better of it. I cannot be doing with any more coddling of pathetic kids and adults for whom the best advice would be ‘GROW UP!’

Our sensory packs can be hired at Guest Services.

Pity you can't hire a backbone. That's what would do these people the most good.

In praise of home cooking

Not just because it's usually better, has ingredients you've reviewed and decided upon, better know the source of, is more to your taste, covers the range of required nutrients ... but it also, directly and indirectly, partially keeps at bay everything out there from unhygienic people to chemtrails.

Partially ... only to a miniscule extent ... that's conceded ... but even controlling the air within your abode has at least a partial effect on your ailment reduced health and possibly greater longevity. If you can possibly do it, try to have some medium intensity exercise in there as well ... aerobic plus some resistance training.

Having said all that, various health, vaxx, bioengineered disease, iffy medical "profession" tweets from X are below ... truly food for thought.

Easter or Resurrection Day

Housekeeping ... my next post is Tuesday morn, Julia's Wednesday.  We wish you all a wonderful Easter Day ... or Resurrection Day ... or choc eggs and bunnies day ... or even Brit bank holiday ... however you commemorate it, may you stay safe and well through these iconic few days.

This below was saved about 5 a.m. BST, Sunday, posted on X by Malcolm Roberts, Queensland, Senator for One Nation downunder, which shows that the cultural underpinning for the west is well summed up ... yes, it is the rolling away of the stone which was the first scene to greet those coming to the tomb and was also the first Easter reference I saw upon logging in just now.

Whichever way you observe today and Malcolm Roberts quoted this:

"He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay." — Matthew 28:6

... or you can go the egg route (sidebar) or whatever ... it certainly set the cat among the pigeons from that point forward, around AD33, even to the dating of our current era, plus many political scribes are noting, on this 2026 day, that events are moving in an apocalyptic direction, millions around the world are flocking to churches still not burnt down by the baddies.

And so, thoughts and prayers for readers and the suffering out there. See you in the next post.

State Pension

Those within the UK will most likely know of the brouhaha over the state pension increase, the triple-lock and some quite nasty young hotheads, manipulated by those above, posting all sorts of things about boomers needing dispossessing.

There have been hundreds of comments and this is a small selection:

How Can You Be A Carer With This Record?

A violent and abusive man has been locked up indefinitely for stabbing his sister 40 times in what her family described as a "totally avoidable" killing.

Yet another case where the warning signs of dangerous mental illness were ignored. They come along so fast now I've quite lost count...

At the time of the fatal attack, he was suffering a severe depressive episode with psychotic symptoms, having repeatedly sought medical help.Cunningham admitted manslaughter by diminished responsibility and was handed a hospital order without limit of time.

Or until someone who won't face any consequrnces for a wrong decision lets him out, 

Sentencing him on Wednesday, Judge Mark Lucraft KC said: "This was a sustained attack resulting in multiple injuries and would have continued over some period of time."He noted Cunningham's history of "violence and abuse" towards his sister and a non-molestation order against him.

Earlier, prosecutor Nneka Akudolu KC said the defendant had lived alone with his mother, Margaret Cunningham senior, in Greenland Quay and been her carer since the death of his father in 2022.

What!? How can he be judged to be a suitable carer for a vulnerable person? And it gets worse: 

His family had repeatedly raised concerns with his GP and the defendant had himself contacted the surgery 10 times in October and November 2024. The court was also told Cunningham had a history of drug-induced psychosis and smoking cannabis.

The court was told Cunningham had 21 previous convictions for 31 offences including assault, burglary and an armed robbery when he was aged 19.

 A mentally ill criminal drug taker - how can that be judged to be a suitable carer?

"Explaining behaviour is not the same as excusing it. Accountability matters. Margie's suffering matters. Margie's life matters."

Yes, it does. But there won't be any in this case, as in so many others.

Good Friday

Whether you observe just Easter Sunday and eggs, maybe some presents:

... or you observe the reason why it's a movable feast, the paschal triduum:

... point is ... it's not only a bank holiday, it's been known as Easter for a very long time and what's referred to as the West today was once known as Christendom, even within some of our lifetimes.

On that basis, Orphans wishes all readers a relaxed and pleasant long weekend, hopefully not forgetting upon what it is originally based.

The significance today of the SCOTUS ruling later

In Britain, in the middle of the night before the Last Supper at the other end of the day, are the issues of age verification (or digital ID) rollout, Starmer's speech to "the nation" and that of other toothless "leaders", plus the appalling state of the NHS.

Across the pond are the Artemis rocket thing, approaching Easter, plus a most critical piece of condtitutional law before SCOTUS today, hours from now.  Some screenshots sum up the state of play:

Just looking at the last item above here ... Alito is staunch conservative, Thomas is too, Gorsuch and Kavanaugh are the newbies and are "often" but not always conservative, meaning for the western nation first.

The problem is the leftist Barrett, while Epstein compromised Roberts will vote with the Demonrats.  The significance of the application to SCOTUS, causing Trump to actually be in the gallery yesterday, is that it snuffs out foreign freeloaders, just as with the Windrushers and boat people here.

The argument of the EO is those capitalised words above ... if the proposal is approved, 5/4 ... and it's down to Barrett now today, then flying in from Kenya or British Guiana in our case (Gina Miller) is not sufficient for citizenship ... the person must embrace the law of the land, uncompromised.

Meaning, a Chinese woman can't rock in, or a Moose Limb, have a child and then go back to Chinese or Moose Limb jurisdiction, whilst eligible to US benefits.

It's down to Barrett ... which way the raving leftist, appointed by Trump ... votes.  What we know is she hates Trump with full TDS. Will that win out ... or the good of the nation?

Is It The Same Tracking App That The Police Refuse To Use To Find Your Stolen Phone?

The father of massacred Nottingham student Barnaby Webber watched in horror on a tracking app as his son's phone moved - to a police station. David Webber had heard a man and woman had been killed but he could not reach Barnaby, and when he phoned police, they refused to speak to him. Panicking that something was wrong, Mr Webber told the public inquiry into the Nottingham attacks how dread set in as he and the 19-year-old's mother Emma followed his location on the Find My Phone app.

A handy little app, except when you expect it to help the police recover your stolen phone and here, it once again showed up their utter dereliction of the duty we, the public, fondly believe they have to us:

He said: 'I phoned the police, and said who I was, and I said who my son was, and I remember a distinct change in tone from the lady I was speaking to.'

That was a result of the penny dropping, and the realisation she couldn't get away with lying to you as her colleagues were assiduously doing to other bereaved families:

Mrs Webber told the inquiry: 'We're spending far too much time worrying about discrimination and segregation and doing the wrong thing because somebody's of a certain colour or certain religion. 

'If you're dangerous, you're dangerous, and it does not matter what colour you are or where you're from.' 

To a normal person, that's undoubtedly true. But it seems we no longer employ them in rhe modern police farce. We employ the easily moulded, or the frankly criminal: 

She also condemned police officers who accessed footage from the attacks and discussed it on WhatsApp. She said: 'Reading the content of that WhatsApp message, it was so destructive, so destroying, so awful. 'The author of that message chose to refer to our children as being "properly butchered" and "innards out" and everything. That's disgusting and grotesque.'

And to anyone who tries to excuse this as 'typical banter to cope with a stressful job' I'll remind you that they should have known this wasn't acceptable. 

Diversity is such a blessing

How representative is each screenshot of its scene? I'm not in London at M&S foodhall, nor in Bradford, nor wherever other shots are taken.

All right ... I'm in a fairly non-diverse, tough area where I live, where the thugs are still of our species, it's hubcap territory ... not healthy for diversity, plus I'm not in a town. But I do recall being in a cafe near Micklethwaite, a more aspiring middle-middle to upper-middle class area ... quite genteel inside that cafe, chatting away ... when suddenly a busload piled in and all were "diverse", every last one, plus their behaviour was as in the upper shot above.

Marks & Sparks foodhall ... goodness me!  I say nuffink more.  I'm looking straight at the Uniparty though ... LibLabConGreenReform ... and I do have things to say.

You Think You Despise Journalists...?

You don't despise them enough:

A hospital patient who managed to talk a man out of detonating a bomb in a maternity wing said the would-be attacker “asked for a cuddle” before standing down.

And the article concentrates on the bravery of the man who stopped the attacker…oh, no, my mistake, it does its best to humanise the man who tried to blow up a hospital ward because he had a grudge against the nurses:

Nathan Newby, who stopped an atrocity through an act of kindness, spoke publicly for the first time about his encounter with Mohammad Farooq before receiving the George Medal for bravery.

Farooq, a clinical support worker who took a viable pressure cooker bomb into St James’s hospital in Leeds intending to “kill as many nurses as possible” was jailed for at least 37 years last year. After asking for a cuddle, Farooq told Newby to “phone the police before I change my mind”.

Newby, 35, from Leeds, said he thought Farooq was “probably a nice guy” who was “going through bad things at the time”, and saw himself as someone who was “just in the right place at the right time”.

Typical British self-effacing response to honours, but why the excuses on behalf of utter barbarity? And why make the latter such a feature of the article? 

During his trial, Farooq was called “a self-radicalised lone wolf terrorist”, inspired by the so-called Islamic State group, but also chose the hospital as a target as he had been a clinical support worker there and had a long-running grievance with nurses on his ward.

He said Farooq seemed “normal”, adding: “I don’t judge anybody. Everybody’s different and unique in their own ways aren’t they? I didn’t judge him.”

The State did. Rightly so. Has the 'nudge unit' been at this chap like they tried with the victims of Valdo Calocane? 

Smart euthanasia

As we contemplate, on Palm Sunday, the next ratchetted move on the Reform politburo's part, supporters nicely duped by Nige's controllers:

... so also Dr David McGrogan, Associate Professor of Law at Northumbria Law School, writes at Lord Toby's site about smart meters and how they are planned to control the population during the increasingly chemtrail induced new cold climate, along with other gems such as bovaer halal beef and poisoned land and rivers:

I was thinking about this the other day when reading, as one tends to do over a nice lunch at the local Italian bistro with a pizza and a glass of red, a 2015 position paper on ‘Making the electricity system more flexible and delivering the benefits for consumers’. This was issued by Ofgem (the quango which regulates the energy market in the UK) at the start of the ongoing process to transform our energy market into one governed by “energy smart appliances”. 

These, for those who have been paying attention, are electric devices (your fridge, your washing machine, your EV charger, etc.) which are able to respond to ‘load control’ signals issued through the internet, and thereby reduce or delay energy consumption. Or, to put it more bluntly, appliances which can be controlled remotely so as to limit how much electricity households are able to use. Coming soon to a kitchen near you.

The last time I wrote about this issue in substance was in 2023, not long before the Energy Act 2023 was enacted. That statute created the legal framework within which the use of energy smart appliances could be mandated and regulated. We now find ourselves entering the next stage: gradual implementation. A draft set of regulations, the Energy Smart Appliances Regulations 2026, is currently making its way through Parliament. This, we are told, is the “first phase“.

And so it goes.  Better on the Continent, in far-eastern Europe, downunder or on the American continent?  In a few isolated countries, yes, e.g. Hungary or El Salvador, plus there are signs Europe itself is starting to awaken from its duped state. Some hope. 🍿🍿🍿
