Petitions are the perfect example, it gives people the illusion that they’re having an effect. But in reality, when those 10k petitions are hit, it’s up to the houses discretion whether they even want to talk about it.

Yes, the way the UK Parliament handles petitions is absolutely terrible. Even though they are required to hear any petition that gets 100k, a House committee basically decides whether it gets treated seriously or not. What’s really needed is a national equivalent of public questions to local government. I can understand that there would have to be some sort of signature or support-gathering requirement or ranking because first-come-first-served-with-a-time-limit (which is what happens at local government) would become an unfair fastest-finger-first contest each time the questions queue opened, but it could be better than the petitions.

Starmer to unveil compulsory online ID checks by the backdoor, more like.

Especially if coned.

April fool?

Repeal Jaywalking laws.

And now you have once, do you think you’ve got away with it, Basil?

The person paying might not be the user, is what I mean. I’m thinking of phones given to younger family members.

I think you can get eSIM adapters for phones without one built in, but I’ve not bothered yet, so I might have misunderstood.

Doesn’t mean it has the user’s ID.

Why not? I thought swapping was promoted as a benefit of eSIM.

And Apple don’t accept passports as ID, so complaints are rolling in from non-drivers without current credit cards, who tend to be younger and in big cities. Apple just took a big shot at their foot.

Most of the poor are on buses, trains or bikes, all of which are pretty good in Denmark. They can’t afford to fund cars and their random repair expenses.

Still a Thatcherite.

Are all these officials and journalists grandparents? Or are real people still more gullible than you’d hope?

UK still doing Thatcher things.

Blooming ableists saying I’m not human!

Isn’t it more that the national gas storage was sold off/ privatised, and the private operators decided it’s more profitable to have less storage?

Can anyone find those? It’s not a link or anything.

It’s a dumb comment because Churchill persuaded FDR into war. He didn’t follow the USA’s lead.

Ironically, one time Churchill did join in with the USA was to restore the unpopular Shah of Iran, which contributed to the Islamic revolution, which led to today’s war.

Trump doesn’t learn from history.

You don’t have to floor the pedal every time. Maybe they should only unlock max torque on kick down.
