How many of the 12 million illegals voted in the last election?

Not enough, apparently.

What really matters is what China, India and Africa do in the next 20 years.

It’s not just the 1.2 million people on the database that should be worried, it’s all their blood relatives also who can be implicated by a partial DNA match.

I’m really not looking forward to there being a Johnson in number 10.

I had been hoping the Duke of Edinburgh would be DT’s chauffeur around London.

If they are as noisy as helicopters, then I hope they don’t start flying in great numbers near me.

I wouldn’t have recognised Abe.

I think hand-drawing will eventually die out... I just hope we can then preserve them.

I think hand-drawn will always be valued more highly than anything largely the product of a computer.

The next UK PM needs to be someone very wise, but not in it for themselves. I vote for Bran Stark.

Embrace both methods by saying the family-name twice, as in, for example “The name’s Bond James Bond”.

Perhaps Donald Trump will suggest something when he visits the UK next month.

The lady in the photo looks well pleased. She must have enjoyed the services of the multi-lingual robot.

Was that a subtle advocation of Scottish independence, or was I reading too much into the story about the Northern Kingdom?

No matter, the bit I enjoyed most was the in-joke about the Song of Ice and Fire book.

If we have drones flying about the place that are autonomous, cars that are autonomous, bots online that are speaking on Twitter or in finance trading stocks, all of those have to be attributed to a person

But autonomous cars cannot be attributed to a person, otherwise they’re not autonomous, surely?

When I was made redundant, my boss didn’t tell me, but some HR low-life. So I quite sympathise with employees using this new service to resign.

Will it have ‘cheering format’ screenings? Can’t wait.

UK’s HS2 top speed 362 km/h (225 mph). 2 km/h faster than Alfa-X.

According to the plans, and if it ever gets built.

A hosepipe ban might help.

Designed to reduce the ‘thump’ when it enters tunnels. Hope the extra speed will make the Tokyo to central Sapporo journey (from 2030) as quick as by plane.

Isn’t the A380 going out of production? A waste of money equipping airports to handle it.

You could call the underground people Morlocks, and the above ground Eloi.

Freshly ground coffee beans smell great, but the drink always disappoints somehow.

They look happy to have beaten the system.

The president is more of a farce

Meanwhile, the UK continues with its own Whitehall Farce.

200 fewer daily flights than planned through the heart of the peak summer season

If that means less CO2 being pumped into the atmosphere, then at least there’s an upside.

The companies compress the high-concentration CO2 they capture and then can sell it for use in industrial applications, including making drinks fizzy

Well that’s a BIG help. Not. One Burp and it’s back in the atmosphere!

“All people are equal” except in this case. Someone shouldn’t be discriminated against, if they happened to have been born as they were. imho

Anything Kim can do... we can do better.

It sounds quite hazardous for fishermen these days, with rockets falling into the sea.

It does indeed look like Monkey D Luffy’s hat.

You may board a Mickey Mouse train, but with the Shinkansen’s safety record you’ll definitely arrive in One Piece.

NB it is full of spoilers, obviously.
