Hell no I would hate to have a robotic Ardern 

You wouldn't have one. That is the point. A machine has no need to be anything but what it is.

Yeah... nah. I read sci fi as you know & can recall one by I think Tanith Lee, in which a particularly devious character came up with a way in which to get the robots who governed  to do whatever he wanted them to - puts me off the idea.

There's no shortage of nutters out there; this one has just been sent to prison for making threats against the PM.

"An Auckland man found guilty of threatening to kill Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and her family has been sentenced to 12 monthsÔÇÖ imprisonment.

Michael Christopher Cruickshank previously denied sending three emails on January 21, 2020 having already sent 89 emails between October 2019 and January 2020.

Court documents said the emails amounted to harassment and to "cause Jacinda Ardern to fear for her safety (or) the safety of her familyÔÇØ.

On Thursday at the Auckland District Court, Judge Brooke Gibson sentenced Cruickshank to 12 months imprisonment."


He seems to have a problem with women leaders if they happen to be on the left politically.

"He had already been well known to a staffer at the PM's office tasked with vetting correspondence. She testified she first came across his "usually angry but not threatening" emails during Helen Clark's tenure."

A particularly devious biological character perhaps? Ahhh yes, you can't trust those buggers...
