Google had the best results by far. I remember around 2000 most “regular people” had pretty much given up on the web. It was google and maybe Napster that got people interested again... I wonder what it’ll be to fix the Internet this time a

Surely if it's obviously a bubble they can bet on that bubble bursting and come through the other side on top? Is it just a matter of rules around capitalisation? Surely it would be good business for them to go get that capitalisation?

The “Profit” is in performing to the pre-senile grumps that make up the rump of the Tory base. This kind of thing wouldn’t be out of place in the Telegraph at all ...

Okay, the devil is in the detail on this one. I took it that the UK said they “won’t” - or are unwilling to - but by your interpretation they say they “can’t” - presently but might like to review that in the future ...

Is there a precedent for representatives from other blocs e.g NATO, mercosur etc getting diplomatic status? If so this is fairly petty. If not I can kind of see where they’re coming from but yeah still a bit petty considering it’s an establ

Is that the one with the war footage and the radio chatter transcripts in the background? I’ve seen that a couple of times now. Didn’t realise Adam Curtis was involved with it but it makes perfect sense now!

To be honest all I think I was really driving at is that he sets the tone in the first sentence that he’s uninformed about what he’s talking about. I kind of get the impression also that he’s trying to be divisive rather than understand the
