The International Court of Justice will today begin it's response to the South African charge of Genocide against Israel today. It should be being covered be the major news outlets.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-68059715

ICJ have found that Israel have a case to answer. 

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/world-68097640

Israel disagree along with their allies. They must know something we don't. Or they just don't care.

For fucks sake, this is a discussion forum. DISCUSSION. Please stop posting endless tweets and links to whatever is panicking or outraging you at any particular moment in time.

It's interesting how there isn't any real discussion of what is happening over in the Middle East and all the events around it. There's plenty of points for discussion. Yet nobody really seems interested. Maybe there are too many points to discuss. News media and governments seem to want to ignore or denigrate any attempts at discussion. Not saying I know the best way to go about it. Maybe it should be just left alone and allowed to play out. That does seems to be what is happening.

The closer it is to home, the more people give a fuck about it. Keep making as much noise as possible, Jag.

Here comes the world of androids and microchip controlled humans...

Hasn't he just had to recall 200 thousand tesla's because of a fault. Wait until the Great brain chip recall of 2031, they'll hang him on his own rocket launchpad.

Tesla have a very poor reputation when it comes to after care service. They don't operate like a normal car manufacturer. Their model doesn't allow for showrooms or established workshops. Plus build quality across the Tesla range is a bit suspect. They are phenomenal things to travel in and Autodrive is any Knight Rider fans wet dream. It couldn't handle Melton Rd in Leicester though. I had to take over and steer us around the wonderfully gifted drivers of Leicester.

I’ve personally never driven one and I’m not in a rush to do so. The horror stories about them are enough to put me off!

Regarding the microchips, surely there is some medical stringency applied? I wouldn’t want that arsehole putting a chip in my brain but if the medical community came up with one that guaranteed I could function like a regular human being, I’d be at the front of the queue!
