X : Thoughts on the Conservative 10 point plan for the Environment.
Me : It's a lie.
X : Have you read them?
Me : I don't need to. It's a lie. How many trees are they promising this time?
X : 30,000 hectares of trees every year.
Me : Pull the other, it has bells on.

X : Do you not believe what the Gov says?
Me : This Government? Nope. I have close to zero trust in their statements unless there is an obvious back hander or get rich quick scheme for donors at the expense of the taxpayer. I don't believe there is any integrity.

X : Isn't that because you vote Labour?
Me : Nope. I've worked with Conservatives before (2010-2014) under Cameron. I might have disagreed with their policy but there was integrity and honesty in intentions. I do not see that today.

X : You make it sound like they are crooks.
Me : At some future point when they are finally replaced then I want to see a full and transparent audit of all transactions and contracts under this Government both nationally and locally. There will be a moral hazard to inaction.

X : You can't believe it's all the party?
Me : It's a cultural thing. A general behaviour of acceptance of deceit has been created by Boris. Dominic Grieve (former chair of the intelligence and security committee) warned us about how dangerous he was -

X : The party are just liars and crooks?
Me : Not consciously, it's a cultural consequence. They will self justify the behaviour in all sorts of ways from "the ends justify the means" to "everyone does it" to "that's politics" to "we need to break rules to get stuff done" ...

... most won't even be aware of what they are accepting or what is being done. Some will, many won't. This is one of the dangers of cults (and this has become the party of Boris) when those who lead have no integrity and are so willing to be "elastic with the truth".
X : We need a viable opposition.
Me : There is and has always been a viable opposition even with Corbyn. That is just a promoted meme to deflect from the actual problem which is integrity in Government. No one forced them to become like this, Boris led them down the path.

X : Examples?
Me : Try yesterday. Gov claims that "three-day working weeks" is just “alarmist, unhelpful and completely misguided”. Who are these dreadful alarmists? Well, that would be the British Chambers of Commerce. The response? Dress it up as good for mental health.

X : What about Boris and COP26?
Me : Hmmm. This is Boris, 8 years ago - worth listening to all of it, if you want to get the measure of the man - ... the statement "this is garbage", "you're just making it up" is on point.

X : How can you change this?
Me : The behaviour? The problem is that success will amplify the behaviour and the sense of belonging. This deceit is what the electorate voted for and reinforced. We cannot repair the situation until they lose. We have three more years of this.

X : Three more years?
Me : At least. It depends upon how powerful this kayfabe becomes, how disillusioned / habituated others are etc. Which is why it's important to not get outraged over privatisation of the NHS etc and reserve all energy for one fight, the election.

Me : Try ... it'll help explain what is happening.

X : Where is all this heading?
Me : Hmmm. To best understand this, you need to play a game about paperclips - decisionproblem.com/paperclips/ind… ... it'll take you several hours but it's worth doing. It's based upon the paperclip problem.

X : Any shortcuts?
Me : Play the game. But if you must, ethics in AI is critical and the most dangerous AI out there is known as human society. Not the individual but the collective interaction of. This is the heart of the problem.

Me : I don't like the lies, the lack of integrity. It feels like a constant barrage -

"He is once again talking complete bollocks" sums it up with our Prime Minister. @PeterStefanovi2 is becoming a well deserved legend for his tireless campaign to point out the nonsense that is peddled. It's a pity he isn't interviewing on @BBCNews
