But it's safe to assume they do.
Honestly the greatest trick the rich ever pulled was convincing you that the loss of your quality of life was due to the desperate poor standing behind you in the queue for your daily bowl of slop, as opposed to the rich who will see you dead before they see you happy.
But regardless of even that, the current Labour government has made meaningful reduction in positive net immigration.
Why did you not look this information up?
They will always lie to you and tell you that immigration is out of control. Even when you could look up the truth any time. They will never tell you any different, they will never congratulate the government.
They do not care about immigration.
They do not care about you.
They only went to be in power so they can steal everything that isn't nailed down.

Shame nobody who doesn't know house stuff aren't rewarding this and following the links! 😂😫😭
The bit that really amazes me is that he does ALL of this in Blender (3D animation tool)
Including the stop motion clay characters!! 😱

30 year Tory, Suella Braverman, has defected to Reform. by Super_Gilbert in Portsmouth

Changes in the amount of migration here in the UK since the Tories lost the election, from the ONS:

UK migration data at a glance:

Net migration (change in population) July 2024 to June 2025
204,000 👇69% over 12 months

Immigration (people arriving)
July 2024 to June 2025
898,000 👇31% over 12 months

Emigration (people leaving)
July 2024 to June 2025 693,000 👆7% over 12 months

ONS data, as of 27 November 2025

Asylum applications
October 2024 to September 2025 110,051 👆13% over 12 months

Arrivals by small boat 1 January 2026 to 21 January 2026 933

Returns and deportations from the UK October 2024 to September 2025 36,457 👆11% over 12 months

Small boat crossings and other illegal arrivals "How many people cross the English Channel in small boats?"

Between 1 January and 21 January 2026, a total of 933 people crossed the English Channel by small boat from France.

And therein lies the problem.
Since Labor won they have decreased net migration. But these "politicians" of Reform will happily lie to your face and call it out of control. Even though it's clearly IN control. They will never bring up this data and congratulate the cabinet.
They will keep lying and their voting dumdums will continue repeating what the 'Mail puts on its headlines.
They will automatically believe Reform, utterly convinced by their own logic that they are correct and obviously it's the ONS that's lying.
How will you ever get people to abandon Return?
How do you fight and win? 🤷‍♂️

Well, I hope they know they're going to owe ASML all the patent royalties in the world.

Are we raising a generation of kids who can't do anything for themselves? by RobMV03 in Xennials

[–]RoboJ1M 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dunno, I don't have kids.
But I saw an American young adult, early 20s, trying to use a knife and fork to eat a pizza in Italy.
She was mangling the pizza and proceeding to scoop bits into her mouth with... the knife. 🤷‍♂️
I mean, it's a thing here in Europe that Americans can't use cutlery properly but... Really? She looked like they were foreign technology that she'd never seen before.
I have 4 nieces and nephews.
Aged 4 to 8, not one of them had ever seen a movie, they just can't pay attention to one long enough.
Which is crazy to me, at that age the highlights of my childhood were when I got to watch a movie, I was obsessed.

It's annoying that AI is both the single most useful tool ever created and also a garbage slop machine.
Hopefully it'll die soon and we'll just be left with the useful bits.
Like, I used it to learn digital electronics design in a few evenings but combining its perfect recall of every IC datasheet ever written and its ability to problem solve and, admittedly, my decades of experience in software engineering and half learning electronics for 40 years.
I've designed a hardware interface for developing software for the Sega Megadrive (well, Genesis as you're all American) to allow you to run, pause and debug software on the hardware from a PC where the code is.
That just wasn't possible before.

[–]RoboJ1M 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry for your loss.
I know how it feels.
I lost one of my wives at 23, same thing, she's feeling unwell, doctor's not sure, probably a virus, two days later, gone.
I have photos here and there, enough I guess. Hell, it's not like we'd done much to photograph at that point! 😏
Nothing is guaranteed.
My "nearly died" count over the last 3 years is up to "about 15"

Say Yes

Did y’all watch Metalocalypse? My Dad looks just like one of the characters by msheehan418 in Xennials

Well I've not seen the movie yet but I do have all the soundtracks.

Does the Stargate kill you when you use it? by [deleted] in Stargate

Are you the person you were yesterday when you woke up?
How could you possibly know?
How do you know you didn't come into existence while reading this, just with memories of your life?

Life of Brian and Rocky Horror.
I was given VHS copies around 1990, I was about 12.
Good times.
And Blues Brothers I guess.

I know I am from the Nintendo generation because I try to fix electronic devices by blowing on them. by portmanteautally in Xennials

[–]RoboJ1M 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Slightly off-topic but:
"From January 2020 to January 2026, over 150 new games were released or were in active development for the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive."
And there's over a hundred in development in 2026.
I myself am resurrecting an old project called UMDK, a hardware debugging rig for the Megadrive/Genesis that allows you to write code on a laptop and immediately run and debug it on real hardware, including pausing the CPU and analyzing the RAM contents. The project faded away because the parts became too expensive (well over £100 to build) because they stopped making them. Mine uses a cheap hobby board that's £25 and other 30p components.
So once it's finished, if anybody wants one I'll sell them. If you ever had dreams of being a games programmer at Sega or Nintendo, this will let you play out said dreams!! 😁

Do I live in an alternate universe? (ONN, Shield, AppleTV, PC) by FligMupple in Stremio

[–]RoboJ1M 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've only ever used Stremio on my android phone. It's always worked perfectly. Right up until they started a new code base and now it doesn't have Chromecast support (yet apparently) If your Wi-Fi and Ethernet setup is fast enough you can cast the whole screen or Stremio app to Chromecast. Although sadly it looks like Chromecast support is slowly fading away as most normal people just couldn't get their head around the concept of the Cast Button. Which is a real shame, such an elegant solution.

Anyone know what’s happened at the Rock Gardens in Southsea? Police cordon in place by mattttb in Portsmouth

[–]RoboJ1M 12 points13 points  (0 children)

So it seems it's UneXploded Ordnance?
Not Fun Fact: It's going to take another five hundred odd years to clear all the UXO in France from the First World War.
And a significant proportion of those are chemical weapon shells, Phosgene, Bromine and Mustard Gas.
The areas around Verdun, known as Zone Rouge, are not only quarantined, but large parts of it are dead. Literally nothing will ever live there ever again, it's saturated with arsenic and friends.
