@stroudsworst_poacher they are needed to train AI so it can track our movements, automate our jobs and shave milliseconds off financial trades – thus making more money for billionaires.

No one yet knows the full impact these centres will have on nature and humans living nearby. What we know from the US is it heats the ground, causes noise pollution, air pollution, uses gallons upon gallons of water, consumes massive amounts of electricity – the cost of which has been passed on to those who live nearby. The water that’s left for the community isn’t fit to drink and the powers that be do not care.

Sporting chance?
Mega athletic events almost invariably fail to create positive social or economic legacy for their host city. However, they do leave a lot of debt. That’s the findings of a presentation I delivered for the Glasgow School of Art at the time of the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games.
If there was a significant, measurable positive legacy for Glaswegians from 2014 that’s good and welcome… and exceptional (sitting alongside the uniquely and formidable positive legacy success of the Barcelona Olympics).

The comedian Pierre Novellie is to be congratulated for the succinct and accurate way he summarises the
case for nuclear energy. Page 9 of Big Issue 1728 should be preserved for posterity. Let’s hope the current PM reads it.

Keir and now
Interested to read the school report on Keir Starmer’s progress on what the Big Issue priorities were [Issue 1727, 20-26 July]. Overall Mr Starmer did seem to be delivering or progressing in a number of the priorities
just two years in, although some gaps and could do better. I think perhaps that Bird’s words were
a little harsh (a view taken all too easily by many in the Labour Party) when he commented that Starmer’s government was under-delivering and the electorate was being shat on from a great height. Act in haste and repent at leisure.
