  • We can have robocars causing accidents on the way to their robojobs and robocops nicking them. All the humans can stay at home and watch (robo?)Jeremy Kyle.

  • That's actually considerably less hysterical than most BBC coverage these days.

  • Imminent Austrian rules on face covering (or burkas).

    The first row is allowed; the second is ok under certain circumstances; the third is banned.

  • No bombs in European countries except Austria for a while then?

  • I feel sorry for the Austrian fencing team.

  • Ah, so work on the CX skills and we'll be safe for a while then?

  • The Daily Mail is actually trying to spin the 20b Euro EU divorce fee as a positive thing after weeks and weeks of declaring we won't pay them a penny. Shameless.

  • A terrible opportunity to ban clowns sadly missed.

  • It'll never happen. They've got deep pockets.

  • But their shoes are so hard to fill.

  • I like how they've not only buried the 20 billion figure in the small words that the racists don't read but, even for the racists with time on their hands they've said that 20 billion euros is equivalent to 17.5 MILLION pounds. It's like they still think they're converting to francs.

  • Boston Dynamics obviously saw Robocop and thought there was a gap in the market.

  • Joke's on them - the bottom right doesn't have anyone in there.

  • Finally it will feel safe walking around, with the scourge off the streets. Never again will people feel threatened or intimidated by those who choose to worship these ridiculous figures. And what's more, it'll be much easier for them to integrate now that we can see their faces (not that they want to be integrated lol)

    I'm assuming of course that the middle row means it will be illegal to dress like a juggalo

  • There's nobody home on the far right?

  • When the leader of North Korea speaks more sense than the US president, you know something is seriously wrong with the state of the world

  • Uber licence revoked from end of the month
    should be interesting
    quite likely they'll appeal

  • Licensing decision on Uber London Limited

    Transport for London (TfL) has today (Friday 22 September) informed Uber London Limited that it will not be issued with a private hire operator licence after expiry of its current licence on 30 September.
    TfL’s regulation of London's taxi and private hire trades is designed to ensure passenger safety. Private hire operators must meet rigorous regulations, and demonstrate to TfL that they do so, in order to operate. TfL must also be satisfied that an operator is fit and proper to hold a licence.
    TfL has concluded that Uber London Limited is not fit and proper to hold a private hire operator licence.
    TfL considers that Uber's approach and conduct demonstrate a lack of corporate responsibility in relation to a number of issues which have potential public safety and security implications. These include:
    · Its approach to reporting serious criminal offences.
    · Its approach to how medical certificates are obtained.
    · Its approach to how Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks are obtained.
    · Its approach to explaining the use of Greyball in London - software that could be used to block regulatory bodies from gaining full access to the app and prevent officials from undertaking regulatory or law enforcement duties.

    The Private Hire Vehicles (London) Act 1998 includes provision to appeal a licensing decision within 21 days of it being communicated to the applicant. Uber London Limited can continue to operate until any appeal processes have been exhausted.
    No further comment will be made by TfL pending any appeal of this decision.
    Ends
    Notes to Editors:
    · Uber London Limited was licenced as a Private Hire (PH) Operator in 2012. On 26 May TfL granted a 4-month PH Operator Licence whilst it concluded its consideration of a five year licence. This licence expires on 30 September.

  • So 'sad' clowns are in the clear, then?

  • Vis the Austria thing- will this not simply trap women in their home, unable to go out?

  • On the upside, Austrian scarf and medical mask sellers should do well. Oh and Photoshop to edit in the Joker in the middle.
