Automation Fallacy - FT#140 Fallacious Trump

In the one hundred and fortieth episode (in which we swap roles Freaky-Friday-style) we explore the Automation Fallacy, starting with Trump suggesting technology is great for immigration but then disagreeing with himself.
In Jim's British Politics Corner we look at The UK Governments attempts to use algorithms to assign exam grades, fight crime and stop immigrants (not all immigrants - you know which ones) from getting in.
In the Fallacy in the Wild section, we check out examples from Mr Bates vs The Post Office, I Robot, Little Britain, and Friends.
Mark and Jim go head to head in Fake News, the game in which Jim has to guess which one of three Boris Johnson quotes Mark made up.
Then we talk about Trumps packed trial schedule for 2024.
And finally, we round up some of the other crazy Trump stories from the past week.
