    In the light of the current spate of organised vandalism perpetrated in the
    names of Eco This or Stop Something Else, haven’t we seen this kind of near
    mass-hysterical action before? With certain obvious exceptions, most of the
    activists appear to be in the teens to early twenties bracket, and of a
    comfortable so-called middle-class group. In any event, they have been
    persuaded that this business of ‘climate change’ which has steadily become
    some sort of cult, is about to destroy all life as we know it. In reality,
    the world’s climate has been changing since the ‘Big Bang’ and will continue
    so to do until the whole thing eventually fizzles out. They have not yet
    cottoned on to the fact that by far the biggest threat to human existence is
    that of overpopulation. What is more disturbing, however, is the ease with
    which they have been recruited into behaving as they do – with no regard to
    everybody else’s opinions and wishes. Whether by disrupting a Snooker
    Tournament, the Grand National, obstructing motorways or whatever else, it
    is clear that there is a core group of these ‘eco’ fanatics who can be
    directed to any place or event that somebody decides should be attacked,
    whenever and wherever they choose. For this to happen, there has to be a
    hierarchy at large, as opposed to and directing the cannon fodder who
    actually make the mischief. As we have seen on various other occasions, it
    is those ‘useful idiots’ who do the dirty work while the organisers stay
    safely away and laugh at those gullible enough to take it all in, regardless
    of the veracity of their cause’ or the consequences of their mindless
    actions. This is not new by any means. The Nazis in pre-war Germany used
    similar tactics involving some sort of brainwashing and intimidation, which
    resulted in the emergence of Hitler Youth and we all know what a misguided
    bunch they eventually turned out to be. Of more concern these days is the
    potential for the organisers of these events to bring together at short
    notice a substantial gang of activists who can be easily manipulated into
    carrying out acts of serious civil disobedience against any stratum of
    society they decide needs their form of correction or treatment. This is a
    form of grooming  however you look at it. Of course, there will be a
    percentage who will duck out of any really serious civil disorder, but that
    would still leave a substantial number of organised troublemakers who will
    relish the thought of seizing some sort of power to affect political thought
    or action. This is generally accompanied by those seeking to maximise damage
    to public and private property. It is regrettable that the Courts have so
    far failed to acknowledge this current spate of ochlocracy. Meanwhile, we
    all have to put up with that troublesome element intent on testing the
    boundaries of a decent democratic society.

    Die Bekämpfung illegaler Migration ist eine gemeinsame Priorität von
    Österreich und Indien, gerade vor dem Hintergrund der dramatisch gestiegenen
    Ankunftszahlen illegaler Migrantinnen und Migranten aus Indien im
    vergangenen Jahr. Ausdruck dessen findet sich im Abkommen über eine
    umfassende Migrations- und Mobilitätspartnerschaft, die Außenminister
    Alexander Schallenberg und sein indischer Amtskollege, Subrahmanyam
    Jaishankar, am Rande des EU-Indopazifik-Ministerforums in Stockholm
    unterzeichnet haben. Damit wurde erstmals eine vertragliche Grundlage für
    Rückführungen nach Indien geschaffen, die zusammen mit der erfolgten
    Abschaffung der visafreien Einreise aus Indien nach Serbien, für die sich
    Kanzler und Innenminister erfolgreich eingesetzt haben, zu einem noch
    deutlicheren Rückgang der illegalen Migration aus Indien führen wird. Aber
    es geht dabei nicht nur um die Bekämpfung von illegaler Migration, sondern
    auch viel mehr um die Stärkung legaler Migrationsmöglichkeiten, insbesondere
    für die Fachkräfte, die Österreich dringend benötigt. Hierbei soll zukünftig
    zuerst Kontakt zwischen Firmen und den potentiellen Arbeitskräften
    hergestellt werden, wobei die Zusammenarbeit zwischen staatlichen Agenturen
    indischen Staatsangehörigen erleichtern soll, einen geeigneten Arbeitgeber
    in Österreich zu finden. Ein verbesserter Austausch von Studierenden und
    eine zügige Visavergabe, vor allem für Journalistinnen und Journalisten
    sowie in der Wissenschaft ist ebenfalls vorgesehen. Für junge Menschen wird
    darüber hinaus die Chance geschaffen, durch ein Working Holiday Programm im
    Zielland kurze, befristete Arbeitsverhältnisse einzugehen oder
    Bildungseinrichtungen ohne Beschäftigungsbewilligung zu nutzen.
    Außenminister Alexander Schallenberg: „Das Abkommen ist ein Meilenstein in
    unseren Beziehungen mit dem bevölkerungsreichsten Land der Welt. Es schafft
    Möglichkeiten, indische Arbeitskräfte beispielsweise im Rahmen der
    Rot-Weiß-Rot Karte nach Österreich zu bringen. Hochqualifizierte Inderinnen
    und Inder können nun dort Lücken schließen, wo es in Österreich an
    Arbeitskräften fehlt.“

## Facebook/bart-large-cnn model

This model is intended to summarize political texts regarding climate change, the environment and energy. The model was fine-tuned on 7k political party press releases from 66 parties in 12 different countries and is intended to identify the primary issue of the press release, the position of the party on the primary issue, and a 1-2 sentence summary. 
Training Data primarily consists of GPT-4 responses asking for summaries of the press releases. Small modifications were also made to the summaries from GPT-4 when validating the responses. I also made all the training text summaries lower case by accident (oops!), so outputs are lowercase. 

**Note** The model is pretty good at identifying the primary issue of any text, but it'll refer to the author of the text as 'the party' and summarize the "position" of *the party* as such. 

**Countries included in Training Data** = ['Italy', 'Sweden', 'Switzerland', 'Netherlands', 'Germany', 'Denmark', 'Spain', 'UK', 'Austria', 'Poland', 'Ireland', 'France']
