BREXIT – The Migrant Exchange Program (Part of the Levelling Up Policy?)
Locking out EU migrants and now heading east for migration deals – well now that makes good sense, doesn’t it. The problem as with any other political/economic debates is that people tend to have less knowledge/expertise (myself included in the mix) to make critical decisions particularly when it comes to […]
Read More A “La-di-da” BREXIT Indeed
Truly a “La-di-da” BREXIT Indeed; or more accurately as the French would say an “Oh la la” BREXIT. Here’s my layman’s take; BREXIT was sold as mainly an immigration related issue to the majority of the population because that was bate that many would follow or rather the shiny object […]

Ethics & AI – A Battle of Control
It’s the kind of battle where we shouldn’t be the spectators because we can’t afford to. Technology is a double edged sword and without the moral & ethical capacity to control its application (the What, When and How) and the boundaries involved it could prove to be the most damaging […]

Anna Netrebko & The Putin Connection
It seems that Pro-Putin’ Opera singer Anna Netrebko sparked exodus from German festival by Ukrainian musicians as indicated by the article referenced below.

New Zealand PM Jacinda Ardern to resign Next Month; Truly Disappointed
