Soon there won't be any GP doctors . The booking of appointments is rapidly going " on line " Oldies want someone to talk to and soon AI will replace doctors . Just type in your symptoms and hey presto ....this is what you need . The role of the doctors receptionist is coming to an end me thinks .   

but I was told there's boat loads arriving every day.

AI is helping to decode animals’ speech. Will it also let us talk with them?

The complexity of vocal communication in some primates, whales and birds...

 

"Alexa, tell the dog to fart outside."

Could become a reality.

I'm deaf as a post. In my early twenties I wanted to create an actual "Babel Fish", but the tech wasn't there.
I had never thought about using it to communicate with non-humans. 

I don't need to tallk to my dog, but it would be cool to be able to tell my cat she was either, mint, or being a dick.

Aye, and they're being put up in knackered hotels in Newcastle. Perhaps when applications are sorted there will be one or two. Perhaps not. 

Stop trying to push a narrative for the sake of it. 

Everyone is fed up with the shabbyiness of the immigration system in the UK. 

Bitching about it isn't going to help.

😳😳 So  nearly two hundred thousand illegals and we might get a couple of doctors 🤔I’m not sure that is good value for money. Statistically we are far more likely to get rapists and criminals.

Yup, it's clear that the immigration system isn't working. 

Once that's sorted, what do you think would benefit society?

Wealth tax on the wealthy to recoup some funds? Or just be happy there are no more boats?

The only one of relevance to swans I have named, what is it you want?

Second question, Davy is the one next to me.
