Reading the article it seems more that Labour and Cons are both more scared of OEUK (offshore energies UK) than anything else.

A lot of the farming and hunting community are annoyed at the current state of gun laws. People who do actually use the limited range of guns in the UK for legitimate uses have to wade through paperwork, fees, wasted time and inconsistent rules to continue owning a gun. It's also hard to be sure that you are actually complying with the law, because it's so inconsistently applied to people.

For those that care about gun ownership, "cutting the red tape" is an easy win. Cutting the red tape and not making a complete hash of it all, that is going to be hard.

Based on the self description, this was my first thought as well

I'm thinking more about a taxi company, that employs several drivers. It's not about being on-call, it's about bumping that person to the top of the list for a specified reason.

Lol ... Brexit success

All the rules from Brussels. None of the say. UK farmers backed themselves into a losing corner, yet again. Or left out to hang, depending on your viewpoint. Either way, they're taking another one for the team.

Profits for major supermarkets set to rise, yet again at the expense of decent and local.

Import v local. The green lobby loses that one too.

Politics is fun, you can always make the argument you won or lost.

I wonder if in a society such as yours, where this is all more common.

Could you have taxi companies that take a small fee up front to guarantee you a rapid taxi to hospital when the time comes. I'll assume ambulances are fine for accidents and emergencies. A regular taxi (and the wait) is fine for unexpected trips where you are unable to cycle for some reason.

But a reasonable fee to say, I want a "rapid" taxi for this instance.

Quick example, tracking if you were at a protest.

Whatever your stance on Palestine/Iran, it's scary that a perfectly peaceful protest is resulting in arrests. And your location data like a fitness tracker pins you to that protest.

The greens have shot themselves in the foot with my by strongly opposing nuclear power. It is not a tenable stance to take in a green economy. In my opinion anyway.

Suunto ... sends your data to ~~finland~~ china.

Annoying as I bought it to keep my data in Europe (better of multiple evils) but it's china now anyway. sigh

I really want more F/OSS hardware to become a thing.

you’re gonna need some evidence of intention

We have a legal age of 18. Some people make porn that is "barely legal". The intention is to make that illegal. The evidence is in the article.

Because Farage can split the right to win...

But the left splitting means it has to lose?

I desperately want to get politics away from being about figureheads and cults around individuals. But it already looks like Green at looking at a new party with some interest. A decent coalition of "actual" left parties, working together could ... could ... be really quite powerful.

As a content consumer ... none of those "alternatives" are alternatives to youtube.

They all immediately take you to a "how to buy hosting on our platform, and why our platform is good for hosting" pages. Rather than just taking you to the hosted content. So as a consumer, I now need to work out how to consume the content there. And ... I ain't gonna bother.

youtube.com the content is right there.

Youtube is a platform for consumers, that creators have to work for.
