    Rotherham child abuse scandal: 1,400 children exploited, report finds
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-south-yorkshire-28939089
    Failures by those charged with protecting children happened despite three reports between 2002 and 2006 which both the council and police were aware of, and “which could not have been clearer in the description of the situation in Rotherham”.

    “The inquiry team found examples of “children who had been doused in petrol and threatened with being set alight, threatened with guns, made to witness brutally violent rapes and threatened they would be next if they told anyone”.”

    I think the first we will hear of mass robots from China will be when Taiwan is invaded…. luckily the UK will still have HS2 to focus on.

      “Delhi: At the India AI Impact Summit 2026, Country Director India, Tony Blair Institute, Vivek Agarwal says, “… India, the way it has sort of gone about convening this summit, it has truly set a standard in terms of how we need to think about this AI summit as an opportunity to build something that can lead to tangible impact and tangible action… I think it has taken a very nice framing on AI, moving it from a technology subject to a public policy issue and trying to identify what it is that governments can actually do in terms of accelerating and managing AI and its impacts…””

    Total apoplexy at the BBC are even the current government dip their toe in the water of the ridiculous explosion of SEND categorisation of children.
    The costs are astronomical.
    More and more children are getting ‘diagnosis’ of ADHD/Autism/ special needs.
    The intelligentsia don’t bother to ask why the numbers ( and costs) are rocketing. It has just become the latest must-have label. An easy way out for GPs? Offload costs from the NHS to the DfE? Some parents even wear their children’s ADHD label as a badge of honour. ‘My child is ‘special’’.
    What we used to call ‘teenagers growing up’ now has to have a ‘diagnosis’.

    There is of course less money to spend on the rest. Soon, children with no label will be in the minority. Will they then get special treatment for being in a minority?

    The system has gone to total rats***.
