    So Labour is targetting computer programmers as voters - in order to make the Working Class superfluous.

    Sounds logical - if you have a death wish.

    Last thread: Trump wants Farage because he thinks rest of world does what America does and appoint political ambassadors. Trump will choose a mate for London, and this will be normal. We don't. Nor do any other western countries.

    Corbyn needs to start quoting from the Moody Blues as well. Chant the word Om.....

    This garden universe vibrates complete
    Some may get a sound so sweet
    Vibrations reach on up to become light
    And then through gamma, out of sight

    Between the eyes and ears there lie
    The sounds of color and the light of a sigh
    And to hear the sun, what a thing to believe

    But it's all around if we could but perceive
    To know ultra violet, infra-red and X-rays
    Beauty to find in so many ways

    Two notes of the chord, that's our full scope
    But to reach the chord is our life's hope
    And to name the chord is important to some
    So they give a word and the word is Om

    But how long before Trump endorses Corbyn? ('A great man with some truly great ideas. Visionary. Great, great man.') From the humiliation being poured on May, we surely can't rule it out.

    Corbynites have been having a go at me for highlighting "cyber physical systems" and "the internet of things".

    I don't doubt these are real things. But when you have to forward me a link to a vague article explaining these often ambigious concepts, then your messaging is utterly crap.

    According to LabourList - 'Jeremy will commit Labour to backing the “innovators, entrepreneurs and investors” but add a reminder that businesses must “live up to their side of the deal” on issues such as workers’ rights and the payment of tax.

    “Labour is setting out the path to a better alternative that’s about good intervention. In fact, it’s intervention for the common good,” he is due to say.'

    Big words for a guy who lacks the support of 70% of his own PLP and can't fill his frontbench.

    "Internet of Things"

    The ability for your fridge to accidentally order one hundred punnets of strawberries to be delivered next door, then run a Distributed Denial of Service on the US Department of Defence.

    This is the other end of the spectrum (To Trump) where your social media presence has zero input from yourself. It drags down that one quality Corbyn actually had - authenticity.

    Does anyone believe Corbyn himself is coming up with this guff ?

    It's a real thing. If you attach the right chips to everything (toasters, cows, your mother) and allow those chips to talk to each other, then you have a great deal of control (or more realistically you have enormous data). Real-life applications include:

    * You can now switch your heating/boiler on/off remotely with your phone
    * Your car can send out a large amount of data, enabling you to reduce your insurance
    * The inventor of Candy Crush receives an enormous amount of data per second from all the people worldwide

    I FEEL what Jeremy is trying to say (as we've discussed here) is that he favours massive Government spending (as all Labour Governments do) but he wants this massive Government spending to go on stuff like autobahns, 3D printers and fibre optic broadband, and other useful things with supposedly lasting benefits rather than down the NHS' insatiable gullet or providing schools with shitty electronic whiteboards.

    Which as a shift in policy I find a marginal improvement.

    Really? What I take from the first one is that we are going to "invest" in business and manufacturing again but unlike all those other occasions where it was a bit of a disaster this time we are going to get it right. Because we are smart. Or something.

    Not entirely true. Examples of political appointees as UK ambassadors to the USA in the last 100 years include:
    1918–1919: The Earl of Reading
    1919–1920: Viscount Grey of Fallodon
    1940–1946: Viscount Halifax
    1977–1979: Peter Jay (son-in-law of the PM at the time)

    If Corbyn went one step further and set some sort of an actual goal, rather than just rhetoric I'd have some sympathy with his position.

    I made some green leds with vibration sensors and photo diode things for my garden - I put in quite a lot of them a few years ago. They had a simple ripple effect that, in the dusk, made it look as though you were walking on water. I did think to hang some in the air, I am surrounded by trees, with a flight of swallows effects but I thought it would make me look too eccentric.

    I was told these home controls don't work for all companies, so if you get an EDF smart meter , it ONLY works for EDF.. Therefore you are stuck or in a lot of aggro if you want to switch. I know SFA about HIVE, but I would similarly avoid till its got a proven track record. Its the same principle as never buy a "new" car model from a manufacturer.

    They are doing one in San Francisco too, in September.

    We tried to get a deal done with the Spanish government and the Barcelona MWC people. They were not exactly entrepreneurial or far-sighted - we had so many painful meetings before just giving up. I am not surprised GSMA are sniffing around elsewhere, though I think they are contracted to Barcelona for a few more years.

    All the European companies are now licensors to the manufacturers. You should watch out for this Ericsson spin-out:

    That may be part of the problem. I spent years struggling to understand the vocabulary used by left-wing people. Perhaps, in a similar way, Mr Corbyn's advisers know what they mean and don't realise that non-left-wing people can't understand them. (Assuming that people who do speak left-wing lingo can understand it, that is.)

    There's no need to go that far. It might be best to try a policy that's been used, but for some reason dropped, in the past. One where the negatives have been thoroughly addressed so that they can be spun against. A policy that will be popular amongst young and old, the pleb and the gentrified.

    White heat of technology, Labour isn't working, things can only get better ( to music ), take back control, make America great again: snappy, simple, rhythmic, these we can remember. This drivel makes the Ed Stone look like Saatchi and Saatchi at their laser focussed best.

    To be fair though if you are going to be rightly laughed at for trying to garner votes for "the Internet of things", best test it out on a wet Wednesday in November miles away from an election and learn from it. I hope Jezza's team don't of course and the track record is about on par with Crewe Alexandra's in the Champions' League, but it will all matter nought if a zinger comes out in early April 2020, from the same bunch bombarded by hoots of derision now.

    Androids and robots are now labour's target voters

    Vote for me I'll replace your jobs with robots....a real vote winner I'm sure....

    On a serious note If Corbyn wants to win he has to do with much better language than that, and will need a better vision aswell not everybody out of work can be retrained as computer programmers. The question is what are the jobs non academic men (mostly, as women will find plenty of jobs caring for the elderly) going to do as more and more good paying jobs either require degrees or become redundant?

    If he is able to persuade enough voters he has the answer to terrible employment rights/practices, proposes to controll immigration in any meaningful way AND is able to articulate an answer and vision for the above, I seriously think he can win.....Don't laugh..I really mean it...

    But he seems to think ANY talk of controllng migration is just too abhorent so he won't.

    I am reminded of Brown in one of the 2010 town halls when in between berating an obviouly Labour leaning anesthesiologist about how she was "quite wrong" he started to rant about "digital manufacturing". I remember hoping that someone would ask him "what is digital manufacturing"?

    Obvious. Making things with digits.
    I thought making digits. But I couldn't work out if he meant ones and zeros or fingers and toes. I remain unenlightened.
    I always thought digits were what we called fingers in the analogue age. Maybe I am missing something.
    Numbers as well lawyer boy.

    That's a lot of words. Doesn't exactly roll off the tongue.

    Watching PMQs you should know, Corbyn doesn’t do pithy.
    Perhaps these statements were similarly sent in from Gladys in Caerphilly and Martin from Tyne and Wear.

    I am sure it's me after a long and exceptionally tedious day in court but what does the second one mean?

    It's very simple David, and the meaning is nothing short of earth-shattering.

    It means that - however improbable this may seem - Milne and Corbyn are actually as stupid as they look.

    Well, it took Trump three vital states a couple of weeks back.

    Corbyn is so dense he may not have realised that it was Hilary's slogan...

    I daresay the answer to unemployment lies in a citizen's income, so that no-one actually needs to work in order to live at a basic level.

    Many people seem to live fulfilled lives by spending most of their time gaming or similar, so whatever career paths remain open or open up in future will only be pursued by those who really want to follow them.

    And if the money the country needs to live on can be earned by robots, why not let them do it?

    In all fairness, it's trite pablum, yes, but it is the sort of thing politicians say all the time, albeit not usually tweeted out with a picture of their leader looking all meaningful.

    So the Internet of Things means that you can pre-shag the missus while still on the train? Bona!
    It also means that her dildo is transmitting usage patterns back to its manufacturer for them to build up a marketing database - including ambient temperature and intensity settings.

    This already happens. Nice.

    Whatever happened to the 'white heat of technology' and 'no room for restrictive practices'?
    Both (c) Harold Wilson 1963 I think.
