Torn Between Two Lovers

Many are the moral dilemmas that arise for those in charge, and a particularly horny one has emerged to toss Team Starmer. A major infoslop merchant has decided not to help His Majesty's Government inflate the AI bubble any further just now, and has halted plans to automate the great British intellect and do for the service economy what the sainted Thatcher did for the miners. Since His Majesty's Government has been approving phantom projects with all the alacrity of the National Johnson handing out contracts to pandemic profiteers, the inevitable squeals about excessive regulation are presumably AI-generated as a matter of corporate routine; but the complaint about high energy prices does have some merit. Thus Team Starmer finds itself caught between the equally exalted and yet conflicting interests of the infoslop merchant and the energy profiteers: a cruel choice for a government so manifestly and sincerely enamoured of both.
