Signed on Monday, the deal makes Britain the first international partner to access Ukraine’s Avengers AI Labs database, described in a government press release as a “goldmine of battlefield data”.
Have I fallen through the multiverse into some shit Disney-themed world? Next, Burnham will be declaring that Captain Britain will be patroling the channel to help stop the boats!
Mr Vibes will get his guitar out and make everyone feel happy, though. That's the important thing.
It's almost as if the purpose of a Reform government is to bankrupt Britain and cause economic and social crisis... so that the disaster capitalists can profit from our misery.
Excellent point. One of the great sleight-of-hands of parliamentary democracy in the UK is to convince people that a system where the candidate who a majority of voters don't want is a legitimate winner. Then make a lot of noise about "landslides" and "victories" for governments elected by barely 30% of the electorate.
Snore. Zzzzzzzz.
I thought I'd answered it in a previous comment about Bentleys and Players. The last time I read anything about this was John Higgs' recent book, Love and Let Die (the book about the Beatles and Bond). In the past books like Kingsley Amis' Bond Dossier has covered stuff like this. It's a long time since I read anything about Fleming and I'm not a Bond scholar so don't have this stuff indexed in some zettelkasten in a shoebox, sorry.
Maybe read a few books and rely less on Google (which is an atrocious search engine these days). If you look over this thread I've replied a couple of times. I'm not a Bond scholar and replied earlier from memory. If you are as angry about this as you appear (why? I ask and shrug shoulders - maybe your sense of masculinity is being somehow challenged? who knows?) take a look at this piece https://www.mi6-hq.com/sections/articles/style-bond-branding-1 or do a proper search. Let me know if your manhood demands more and I'll do a more thorough online search for you, dearie.
One example is that Bond drove a Bentley in the first six novels and then Fleming changed it to an Aston Martin for Goldfinger. The most famous is Bond smoking Players Cigarettes where there was advertising inserted into copies of Thunderball. The movies did much more to include product placement, though.
It is noticeable that the Green protest movement has been seriously worked on by the state. Much of this is the draconian infringements on the right to protest but it's mixed with the mainstream media refusing to report on what climate protests occur combined with the state's boosting of the Green Party as a vehicle for distracting protest. Those in comtrol would tolerate a handful of Green MPs and Green-led councils rather than hundreds of thousands on the streets involved in protest and direct action.
It was also because Fleming was paid by the companies to use their product names.
Fleming was paid for product placement in the Bond novels in the way that tv and movies do now.
There comes a point where you have to decide that going to work isn't worth the hassle.
