📰 Read Patrick Cockburn's exclusive insights into Suella Braverman, and how she symbolises the decline of the British elite
. I have always argued that the worst problem was not Brexit but the Brexiteers. Leaving the EU was a big deal for Britain, but seeking national self-determination for good or ill has been an almost universal phenomenon throughout the world over the last century. The disintegration of countries, federations and empires has been the norm in Europe since 1900 – witness the fate of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Soviet Union, Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia.
Among those vigorously calling for a deal with Germany was Lady Nancy Astor MP, an arch appeaser whose vastly wealthy husband owned. She immediately struck me as a sort of Braverman, Truss and Patel rolled into a single self-confident, shallow, ill-informed and opinionated individual.
Nor did the exaggerations end there as the previously ever-so-moderate Kilicdaroglu claimed that Erdogan had failed “to protect [Turkey’s] borders and honour… you knowingly brought more than 10 million refugees to this country… I am announcing it here – as soon as I come to power, I will send all refugees home. Period.”
I feel a mild sense of threat when I hear news of great advances in Artificial Intelligence for two reasons: like everybody else, I dislike the idea of machines taking over entirely from human beings, though this may still be a distant prospect. AIs are not robust – they will occasionally make silly, costly mistakes that a human would never make. This might make using AIs impossible in some situations like calling 111 in Britain where a bad mistake can cost lives.
