While others are determined to talk down the PSNI, the evidence speaks for itself: 80% of people in Northern Ireland have confidence in our police (NISRA). There is more to do, but these findings are welcome and I’ll continue advocating for better investment in the PSNI.

Maybe if we start a campaign to get it done in Ulster Scots, Open Govt Network NI would get a bit of support? 😂

There is no AI economy. It loses hundreds of billions of dollars and all gains are in speculative valuation. The only one making a profit is Nvidia, and it doesn’t make anything. It resells Taiwanese chips to companies that use them to lose money.
