Same day i just read that progressive politicians can easy gain security by actually doing the bare min. Burnham and Raynor looking like Starmer grads wannabees. I really had hoped they wouldnt.

Looks like labour are gonna lose. Its pretty simple to see how much people don't like DataCentres and actually just represent those people.

This is nothing news. There are three DCs already in East London that I know of and then there's the massive one at Greys/Thurrock and a good few in Canary Wharf.

I'm guessing they might be out of room so new shit needs to be built but of course everyone jumps on the 'oh it must be for AI' bandwagon.

Well yes obviously it will in part be used for that but not exclusively.

so far the only thing burnham has accomplished is gotten me to despise northern england with the fire of a thousand burning suns.

Fortunately for the North, the persistent cloud cover ought to keep the thousand suns at bay.
