a) 38degrees is less meaningful than the meaningless change.org

b) He's already refused an OBE.

Click the OP.

Is he really "under fire"? There don't appear to be any consequences here.

Ice cream vendors are gonna make mint off this.

I think their concern is that laws would most likely allow some limited personal growing, and they're worried this would significantly affect their profits. It probably wouldn't, but if it's already a business decision then why would they risk it?

We can't have that though, then the 1-3 businesses (owned by Tory mates) that have a licence to grow would have to face competition!

Also the illegal market is pretty well established as an encumbant. Most dealers sell the same stuff that can be found nationwide, a lot of it is contaminated, eg with desiccants.

I bet this will go down just as well as the new system for Ofgem to calculate the cap on consumer energy prices they implemented back ~2017.

Absolutely. He apparently doesn't like environmentalists and probably blames them for the laws that say he can't shoot any wildlife he likes.

A "shooting enthusiast", no less..

That's not what this article is on about, at all.

It can't result in less success.

My understanding is they've done bugger all. MP's behind the bill have merely said they won't use the provision, primarily because there is no sufficient technical means to do so, but the wording of the bill hasn't changed.

If the bill goes through as is then businesses may be compelled to create the means to do so, regardless of it breaking encryption - maybe they won't do it right away, but they'll have the perogative under law. It wouldn't be too much more effort to throw in a gag order and prevent public disclosure. I'm sure Signal and a few others would kick up a stink and leave if they were targeted, but I could see Facebook and Google signing up, for a price. Hell I'd be more surprised if WhatsApp didn't already have backdoors.

You could always go the route of that guy who fathered chess champions and put an ad in the paper.

Well, if it wasn't for otherwise good citizens breaking laws they know to be wrong, those laws would never get changed.

The data shows 70-90%. However, about half are no more than 5 mph over the limit.

It also details the caveat that almost all of the 20 mph roads measured are free-flow areas without traffic calming, and it doesn't represent the majority of 20 mph roads where traffic calming is present and traffic will naturally be slower. So, basically they're measuring compliance in 20 mph zones that don't really feel like 20 mph zones.

Compliance is much better for 30, 60 and 70 mph limits.

85% of the UK are criminals, I thought Australia was supposed to solve that for us.

Farmers would rather there was some amount of food scarcity, that way they could fulfill as much as possible for as high a price as possible.

Not quite, it's a little more complicated than that.

Supermarkets stopped buying veg when the price went up because they knew they could blame it on other factors, rather than people thinking the supermarkets were tight cunts. Customers are generally accepting of prices going up (they have no other option), it's the supermarkets who want to charge as high a price to customers while paying as little as possible themselves. The supermarkets then use this whole thing as a negotiating tactic to try to bring down their cost prices.

They're talking about charging £100 for the covid booster jabs.

Well that's the point of this, if they make it a crime then they shouldn't be able to get away with doing it.
