‘Cutting Discovery on the Bias – the role of prejudice in learning’

With Turing’s own sexuality struggles in mind, the lecture will examine how too often academic investigation has been and continues to be hampered or skewed by confirmation bias and socially engineered distortions.

The 2025 lecture was given by Sandi Toksvig, OBE

Donald Trump
President of the United States (2017–2021, 2025–present)

Donald Trump was recruited by the KGB with codename ‘Krasnov’, claims an ex-Soviet spy in an article published by ‘The Mirror’

The decision to go to war shouldn’t be left to a low-IQ racist, narcissistic toddler with impulse issues. I wonder if our generals feel like Hitler’s generals. In both cases, experienced and trained military professionals had to follow very stupid orders. In Hitler’s case, those orders cost Germany thousands of soldiers, either through death or capture.
Hitler was a veteran while Trump dodged the Vietnam War, citing bone spurs.
To the idiot conspiracy-theory spreading trolls at GoComics believing yesterday’s cartoon signals I’m for bombing Iran, no, morons. How could you come to that conclusion after years of reading my work?
To be clear, I do NOT support starting a war against any nation that hasn’t attacked us. This case is particularly stupid.
Donald Trump is demanding peace from Iran, which has never attacked us, after he dropped massive bombs on it. We HAD peace with Iran.
Years ago, Trump falsely predicted that President Barack Obama would start a war with Iran because he would be incapable of negotiating. Except it was President Obama who successfully negotiated for Iran to end its nuclear program, and the treaty was working. Iran was complying with all the conditions.
It was Trump who canceled the agreement and is now bombing Iran because he’s incapable of negotiating. And why would Iran want to negotiate with Donald Trump when they know they can’t trust him. How many treaties and agreements has Trump broken?
Iran doesn’t have a nuclear bomb today, or Trump and Bibi would not have bombed them. But Donald Trump just taught Iran that they need a nuclear weapon.
We may be slow learners of history, but the Iranians may not be. We forgot the history lessons of Vietnam and invaded Iraq. Iran probably remembers our demands on Iraq and Libya to lose their nuclear programs, only to see their regimes overthrown later.
Another history lesson we’re forgetting is our regime changes in Iraq and Afghanistan. How long is Trump prepared to commit US troops to this war? It’ll be a lot longer than Trump will be in office.
Last night, Trump said to the nation, “Iran’s key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated.” And then he said there are other targets.
So which is it? Are their nuke capabilities “totally obliterated,” or do we need to keep bombing them? Or are we going to keep bombing them because it gives Trump a woody?
This is Israel’s war, and a war they didn’t have to start. It’s not our war…or it wasn’t.
What happens next? Will Trump keep bombing Iran? Will Israel? Will Iran start targeting American ships in the Persian Gulf or our bases in the region? Will Iran target Americans in the region? Will they hit our embassies?
Trump doesn’t understand this issue, yet he’s gambling with our resources. He’s gambling with American lives. The problem now is that the Trump Baby has to save face. If Iran fights back, so will he, but not at any risk to him.
Creative note: I wrote six ideas for this subject, and I may use one or two of them later this week.

People in the future honestly won’t believe that a Bible-selling, gold sneaker-selling, sexual assaulting, sleepy, farting, diaper wearing, insurrection-inciting, lying CRIMINAL with 91 felony counts was the Republican presidential nominee of 2024.
I can hardly believe it myself.

DearElon Musk.

You are one billionaire I can think of who hasn’t stolen their way to their profits. Your continued support for the Starlink system upon which President Volodymyr Oleksandrovych Zelenskyy of Ukraine and his countrymen and women rely to defeat the one-sided illegal onslaught. Please step up to the mark. Malcolm Patten

PS Your new name for “La Manche” will upset the French… When you move into your new office pay particular attention to the Sobchak reading lamp bulbs. Your security team may wish to pay particular attention in view of the history that may apply to them…

Additionally, read Killer in the Kremlin by John Sweeney, among other books, plus anything by Anna Politkovskaya.

PPS French television journalists are complaining that Tulsi Gabbard is a Russian sleeper Agent…

First of all, I think Putin in his military fatigues when he went to Kursk, just looks like a stupid little man. President Volodymyr Oleksandrovych Zelenskyy of Ukraine, on the other hand, looks like a warrior ~ Sir Bill Browder

BREAKING: Trump wants to Ban This AI Photo showing him worshiping Elon Musk
Trump insiders told us, “Trump is disgusted by This AI photo and wants it banned from the internet.”

Possibly the essence of the Steel Report?

Update to this: Trump landed with £300,000 costs after losing ‘Dirty Dossier’ case against Christopher Steele! Donald J Trump handed bill in UK court after he fails to prove former MI6 spy breached data protection law. And he has not paid it. Surprise surprise. Another scam…

Who would have thought it? A man who has his tiny hands on nuclear codes and who is Commander in Chief of the worlds most powerful military complex is at he same time weak and timid before another man who is simply brighter and in charge of a crumbling economy, a resourceful yet badly led military and who will not win the war he has engaged in since 2014. He just doesn’t have all the cards!

This ‘Tiny Hands’ man Trump deserves to be charged with war crimes, alongside Putin for the death of countless Ukrainians after Krasnov applied the Kill Switch to US intelligence recently. What bravery and one up to the KGB!

Trump is a short fingured vulgarian ~ Kurt Anderson

The United States of America is the UK’s Number One Military Ally. We shall have to endure a malign stochastic sociopath felon becoming the US president. How does that work we wonder…

“Judge Juan Merchan seems hellbent on making Donald Trump take the oath of office saying, ‘I, Donald Trump, a convicted felon, do solemnly swear … .’ He’s scheduled Trump’s hush money sentencing for January 10 and doesn’t seem inclined to change it, though he does say he won’t send the president to prison. Trump is suing. Inauguration Day is the 20th.”-CB

“The front-runner candidate of the Republican party who — along with his most fanatical accomplices — has spent recent years trying to deny that he is a puppet of Putin, is becoming more and more explicit in his adoration of the criminal Russian dictator.” – PM
