I want to be ruled by robots. I am fed up with human beings running the government. When you go grocery shopping and you get told off for putting your unidentified item in the bagging area, well that's how I want my star chamber cabal to behave.
Instead of Liberal Shamocrats, Blairite Labour, Tory Fops and Paid Cymru party apparatchiks taking home a sweet £67,000 a year basic from Senedd coffers, what about computer chips, robots, cyborgs, robo dolls sitting in their chairs. We'd get more done. There'd be less bickering and more action. There would be no boozing on Assembly property under lockdown rules. The robots would be at home in their Cardiff Council allocated student accommodation, plugged into the electric getting recharged for the following day's government.
You think I'm joking? I'm jolly well not. I'm old enough to have witnessed a lot of the shit show that passes for British Democracy over the last four decades. Before that I didn't really give a monkeys. Kindness was more important to me than anything as a young person. I always thought that Lord Jim Callaghan of Splott looked like a kind person. Margaret Thatcher did not. We know that the citizens of the so called 'British Isles' have been groomed into a kind of centre right group-think after forty years of dog eat dog, austerity loving, neo-liberal look after number oneism. It's very difficult to get out of this mindset seeing as pre-pandemic we were a collection of nations of shoppers and shopkeepers where the emphasis was most definitely on home ownership and material wealth. We've always had the rebels, the freedom loving, social justice left, there's just not enough of us to make a dent into the teflon Elon Musk like skin of modern day centre right politicians.
If we had AI in charge then they would not claim expenses. They would not travel under lockdown restrictions. They wouldn't have personal spin doctors who take spins to Barnard Castle to check their eyesight. When was the last time you saw a Robot with glasses? I don't care whether the Prime Minister has hair like Boris 'boorish' Johnson' as long as the algorithm inside his SIM card forced him to make the correct decision for 'the country'.
Human beings are fatally flawed, that's why they created AI. Surely an AI government would not have allowed 100,000 humans to die on their watch? Humans will allow anything to happen as long as they as an individual survive.
Robots do not attend Eton. Robots do not recognise un-elected monarchy. The Queen would have to queue for the vaccine along with the rest of us. AI from the House of Common Robots would walk like Robots across to the House of Lord Robots and inform them in a voice like Davros to go and do something more useful like picking fruit in the post Brexit death camps dotted across the land.
If a robot can run JD Wetherspoon then it can certainly run the devolved powers of the UK as well as the Computer Mainframe in Westminster.
Political Parties expect us to behave like robots every five years.
"Oh goody a choice between Conservative and Labour which we all know is no choice at all but give me my stubby pencil because a wet behind the ears ambitious politico wants to get their grubby hands on the £77,000 pa starting salary."
I want to be ruled by robots.
