Bones is an AI creation created by a shadowy agency linked to a far-right political party backed by the world’s richest man. An investigation by the Bureau of Investigative Journalism has uncovered links between the operation behind the persona and Ben Habib’s party Advance UK. Experts believe this is the first time an AI character has been linked to a political party, and say Bones is a concerning sign of things to come.

    I hope Shane Meadows sues whoever made this for the misuse of “This Is England”, his film about how working class struggle and disaffection with modern society gets co-opted by the far right.

      Excellent film, by the way. That, and Scum, give a good look at the joys of growing up in London in the late 70s/early 80s (though This Is England flashes back to the early 80s, whereas Scum was made in 1979).

      It’s not like the far-right actually have any good ideas. Of courses they’re going to take a documentary on the struggles of the average Brit and then point and blame non-billionaire minorities. That’s their only tactic; well besides creating chaos and violence, but that’s a given with the parasite class.
