That's a very broad definition. It's definitely not one that is shared in en-GB nor, at least to my knowledge, amongst other English dialects. Are opposition legislators considered "members of the government", even if th

What's confusing about it? The government wields executive power, Parliament legislates and holds the government to account.

The BBC is not a government news source. It's not even funded by the UK government.[0] It is - by law[1] - required to be completely editorially independent. The BBC is primarily funded by the TV Licence. The licence is levvied on an

The UK's ICO knows that the adtech industry is breaking the law. They've purposely done nothing about it. They've even bragged on their blog and in their annual statement that they've done nothing about it :(

I'm not in the US, but I assume that the shop calculates the correct taxes at the till, right? So what's stopping them putting tax-inclusive prices on shelves or on stickers on the items themselves?

In addition to ENIAC being built after the German Z1 (1938) and Z3 (1941), as others here have stated, it was also built after the UK's Colossus[0] (1943). If we're talking "first real computer", though, and depending
