Just checked https://www.theguardian.com/politics/ng-interactive/2024/may/02/local-elections-2024-full-council-results-for-england and I am shocked beyond words that my old stomping ground (Farnborough, Hants) has switched from Con to Lab -- it has been a Con stronghold for years 🤯

Morning all.

I'm organising a meet-up in London this weekend - it is a Racket meet-up but many of us use clojure and other lisps. So clojure people are very welcome. Would it be inappropriate to post here? (I did ask on zulip - and they suggested posting here too)

Good Morning!

Mornin' folks. Looks like a quarter of the council elections are still to be declared... I saw some won't be declared until some time tomorrow... but it's looking like a heck of a shift right now...

dharrigan17:05:05

It does look like that.

Of interest, anyone been watching the Horizon Public Inquiry? I have it on the background and it's extremely fasinating. In a few weeks, the senior Fujitsu engineer who architected/developed the system is due to give evidence.

dharrigan17:05:38

What's really interesting atm, is just how all the senior lawyers at Post Office keep passing the blame to others.

dharrigan17:05:55

And the main lawyer has given evidence today that he didn't know how to save or print documents from his computer....

dharrigan17:05:36

That, um, doesn't seem likely....

dharrigan17:05:03

I'm very intested from an IT angle what will be said in the coming weeks.
