  1. Just been phoned by a bank scammer on 07971 827 720

    The automated initial section said the call was from the #CityPolice … but the human #scammer claimed to be from the #Met

    The scammer called me a #racist when I picked him up on this.

    You’d think these #ScamArtists would be politer, if they they’ve never met you …

  3. The #BBC report includes no data that casts doubt on the #Met's findings despite prior research contradicting claims presented exist. It’s a press release, not news.

    bbc.com/news/articles/cddpzglz

    The BBC simply presents the police's statistics: 173 arrests, 10.5% crime reduction, 21% VAWG reduction, 1 false alert, without any independent audit data, methodological critique, bias statistics, or counter-studies.

    For instance, a Cambridge study found no deterrence effect, the NPL bias report showing 100–248× higher false positive rates for non-white faces, or documented wrongful arrests.

    […] Overall Conclusions

    Taken together, the studies suggest that:

    • Live Facial Recognition can identify wanted individuals with high accuracy when used under appropriate conditions.

    • Mistaken identifications appear to be very rare in operational deployments.

    • The technology identifies some demographic groups more successfully than others, which raises questions about fairness that require continued monitoring.

    • Crime deterrence effects were not observed in this study.

    • Because #LFR scans very large numbers of people to identify a small number of suspects, decisions about its use should carefully consider issues of proportionality, transparency and oversight.

  15. While less known and perhaps slightly less blatantly agregious, I'm not giving Christian Dior a pass either...

    The list of whitewashed globally recycled Nazi brands is sickening.

    Hugo Boss, Puma, Adidas, Reebok, Volkswagen, Mercedes, BMW, Fanta, the list goes on...

    This is what racism, greed and secret US government immigration practices like Project Paperclip did to this country.

    The Nazis did not lose WWII.

    They switched sides.

    They migrated to the Americas to merge with Disney, Ford, Charles Lindbergh, Prescott Bush and the Nazis on this continent.

    If the USA had been half as concerned with Nazi German white immigrants then, as they seem to be about black and brown immigrants now, the US and the world would have all been better off for it.

  16. Anna Wintour choosing to disrespect countless talented designers by intentionally wearing a Nazi Chanel, especially at this moment in world history, is not just deeply out of touch, it is utterly disgusting, damnably unfashionable, and reprehensibly out of style!

    Sweety... When you choose to publicly support and platform a Nazi cunt...
    Darling... That makes you a Nazi cunt!

    Do better, Annie!
