"There's no monetary value to this.." People do make money from this by raising their profile. Every successful no-platform campaign that they organise is attached to their name and raises their credentials in this sordid bus

"..will last forever.." Architecture and design may last a long time, however that does not mean they are looked upon favourably by the zeitgeist. History proves this time and time again. I think it is a mistake to think "we

Differs based on location. In Western Europe, the truth is that truly rich people do not care about looking like poor people. The moneyed class are far more likely to look poor to the average person. It is the moderately wealthy who do not

"Wonder if people will get tired of that eventually, and it will become the epitome..." 100%. Trends come and go. How we feel (guilty here) about the minimal aesthetic, was how those in the 70's felt about Avocado bathrooms a

keep editing your original post until you get the result you want. alternatively like you have done with the other suggestions provided, keep on narrowing "new products and services" until you can dismiss them all ;)

Not in a historical sense, but Trump and Brexit are definitely a revolution in my mind. The magnitude at which they are breaking away from the political arc of the last 25 years is massive.

A fair observation if you use twitter like the majority of users (at least in the UK). The key to getting a decent bellwether is to actively seek out prominent and active users with differing opinions. Regarding social medias influence, whi

Always worth remembering that UKIP have taken a humongous number of Labour supporters, not just Conservative.

Unfortunately I am discovering lots of those in tech VC are complicit with the political power elite. Many are pushing the Russia meme on twitter/FB , despite the flimsy evidence and obvious push as a political strategy. I do not think

This Red Scare is getting ridiculous now. One of the best things to come out of this election is how much political strategy has been exposed to the general public, inc. media complicity. I have so little faith in the political parties and

Strong political move by the Conservatives. Appearance of uniting the party, presenting a solid and stable group. Nice timing strategy as well. Leadsom's speech started 5 minutes into Angela Eagles leadership bid speech. The usual hack

I suspect the likelihood of receiving an indictment from the DOJ is somewhat linked to the depths of her ties to powerful politicians, present and future.

I am so disappointed with our Western media and their complicity in shadowy anti-Russia propaganda. I know that Russia has many faults, but over the last few years we have been drip fed so many negative stories about Russia it is crazy. It

This does seem a likely scenario. Unfortunately all the stories of over the last few years have severely eroded the benefit of doubt that I give these companies, which is a great shame. I imagine others due to this, approach similar moves w

"Scotland is all but certain to leave." Not a certainty at all, especially if new EU membership involves taking the Euro. There is a reason Sturgeon has not yet called the vote, they know that EU joining terms are likely to be ver

You move towards the picture you create. This sort of crazy hyperbole is why many people are scared. The UK will be fine. We are members of the top international groups, NATO, G7 etc.

Many senior politicians are now suggesting it. I truly believe that if this vote is ignored and the peoples will discarded, there will be severe violence towards those in charge.
