I bought a new domain for my business and there was no trace of any old business name when researching connected to that domain. After about 6 months I received some data from an old client of theirs. It had a company name so I was able to let someone from that company know, as well the sender and I deleted the data before reading it. I guess you have to think what did you use it for, who might send data that identifies you etc. You never know who might buy it.

I remember reading an article but can't find it now. A researcher bought tons old domains from government and local departments that had shut down or changed names, and managed to get some interesting information!

I bought a set over a year ago for my son, then the school library also seems to have them (they pick a book a week)

If they truly cared about dirty money, tax evasion and all the tricks the rich do to keep their wealth, the tax regimes in these places would mirror the tax regime for working people in the UK (and tax capital gains in the same way as employment income BTW!).

It's pathetic complaining about these places not doing such a minor thing after decades of using them to hide their wealth, please their wealthy overlords and/or evade taxes...

Finally, some good news for once and progress!

Do you reckon Israel/Mossad has some proper dirt over the UK, is it the City's financial interests or something else? It's just shocking that we continue to support a genocide despite it clearly being opposite to what the majority of us want.

I could only watch 25 minutes (so far) of the doctors in Gaza documentary the BBC refused to show, because I cried at least three times. The multiple children being carried to try to get help with serious looking injuries. The solar panels being destroyed which meant premature children died. The blood soaked floor around the ambulance. The absolute pain of the doctor talking about when a nurse brought in his daughter who was killed. The people watching the bombing of Gaza through those fucking telescope things you get at the beach or from tall buildings like it's a tourist attraction. The guys being stripped naked, blindfolded and led about in a stadium.

An artist said a few words at a concert that is crazily expensive to go to, which doesn't even meet the threshold of hate speech (in my view).

Where should we focus our attention and outrage I wonder?!?

Yes please. At this point, we need local councils to lead this as it's just impossible at a parent or school level. We need the infrastructure changes too as I can't see us getting there without it. It takes just one car driver to enforce their right of way on a road if it's just open

We're very aware in the UK but it's not too easy. We have some the oldest housing stock in the world. We don't have central air with no real way to retrofit so it would have to be one room at a time. Our windows aren't designed to house those units I see in NY. We have to rely on very inefficient portable units so I only use it on the really hot days. Energy prices are still high after Russia's invasion. People are adding proper units when extending but only the rich can really afford that.

This is why I happily pay for channel 4 plus, even though I don't use their app for viewing all that much

Wait, the police are going after a royal, I thought that was impossible?!? (speaking from the UK where we clearly have a rapist and paedophile...)

Who said it was a problem? It's funny because you could be saying that is too low or too high, who knows!

It was more of a class and misogyny problem, which due to cultural reasons these groups of men were able to take advantage. There's a story of police being called to a disturbance and found a group of older guys (mostly south Asian but there was a white guy too) with two teenage (I think about 15) drunk, working class girls. Instead of stepping back and thinking there's something very strange going on here and seeing those girls as victims, who were vulnerable, potentially being groomed and obviously being taken advantage of, they arrested the girls for drunk and disorderly, were apologetic to the men and didn't even record the names of those men.

Statistically in the UK, most grooming and sexual violence is some by family members or family friends, against both boys and girls, and are perpetrated by white people simply because the UK is still 83% white! If any of these people truly cared about vulnerable children, they would focus on more than just these grooming gangs but that doesn't rile up their base, get more likes and give them more support. Yeah, these horrible men need to be arrested and put away but let's set up systems that try to prevent these children being harmed in the first place.

This article is talking about the wider problems of children not being seen as victims, and agencies not communicating with each other. Whether it's a black boy arrested for carrying drugs or a white girl ignored as being "promiscuous", there are systemic issues in our system that need to be addressed.

It was illegal but not enforced at all or followed by the locals, so not followed by anybody else either. During the day was fine but in the evening and night it was like there was no law

Really? And did they self regulate their fees? Oh wait no, it took EU enforcement to cut down their fees and stop businesses passing them onto customers. The EU also enforced more security regulation, and more use of those by the banks themselves using these credit card processors who washed their hands of levels of security

Yeah, went to Spain, and woke up with a sore throat and really smelly clothes. Took me back to before the ban and realised how good that was for everyone

And thank god it changed back. Of all the issues in my life, having to look at a red passport once every few months affected me so much that you can't even imagine the hardship. That and something about wonky bananas that I've been told was a massive problem that's only going to be fixed if I vote for that party which definitely represents me as I can have a beer with it's leader. I'm guessing he'll buy the round given his wealth that the woke London elite keep trying to take but he's stood up to them

Honestly, it's so much better. The main roads are clogged up but can see no difference to before with those, they were always bad. I haven't seen any difference in driving times. Our road is so much quieter so seen kids playing on the street (not often at all but the roads are still setup for cars of residents), and the drop constant noise that I didn't notice until it had gone.

I think the next step should be to flip from it being a road with a small pavement to a shared communal area with priority for people, space for kids to play properly and actual green space. There could still be enough road to get to houses and car spaces. When the road was closed for that jubilee party it was so nice! Saw way more of my neighbours and all the kids were out playing together. Can't see it happening though...

Are US citizens allowed to join the armies of other countries? I'm surprised by that

I completely agree and think you can't arrest everyone but I don't see that happening though. Look at the numbers on the street. If more people surrounded them so they could not physically leave, it might be different. What I see is a few brave people trying to stop them and not succeeding, and everyone else staying inside or filming from afar

They won. They got exactly what they wanted, plus anybody who tried to intervene got arrested along the way. From the headline I thought it would be more like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZcoXdZeabA . There's still massive problems here and our version of ICE have got away with a lot but thankfully nowhere near this stage
