I assume because nearly all the works of man are aiming to control and suppress nature. Instead of the natural untidy beauty of an ancient forest, or wild meadow, with random animal and human tracks through it, we pave, concrete and &quot

The web is far too large, and far too commercial -- adtech have forced commerce into fucking everything, and fucking ruined it. Without ads, a lot of things hundreds of millions of people use wouldn't go away, they'd reduce to a m

Very true, they're all winging it. It all seems to be coming from the evil genius Cummings who tells everyone from Johnson down what to think. It's too disturbing to contemplate what the state of the establishment, civil service,

In comparison to being in the single market, yes it is. At moment of EU exit we lose ALL trade arrangements as all we currently have are under the auspices of the EU. That would, for a couple of years until treaties were getting signed, p

No, he 100% expected a comfortable remain win. He called the non-binding referendum because it was a major manifesto promise. It was a manifesto promise solely as an attempt to shut up the awkward squad -- the extreme Brexit wing of the Tor

With a little luck they can now do so, and require participation by any potential new trade partners. :)

"as effectively as" is not the same as "will result in".

We aren't being given even the prospect of a trading relationship like Canada, Switzerland or Norway as they would require flexibility on one or other of the UK's immovable points. That's been clearly shown for years now, eve

Prove it, or cite something credible. Business stance on the EU and Brexit has optimism at an all time low.

GDPR is, I hope, safe. Various politicians have said it's staying -- YMMV in how much score to place in that. It's reasonable, clear and ICO is one of the better regulators. It certainly doesn't make it harder to do business

I don't think this lot actually care about the trading and regulatory relationship with Europe, at all. I can't figure out what is supposed to fill the place occupied by the EU. Which makes for an interesting decade, particularly

Which don't have everyone running on diplomatic plates, or actual diplomats. For a diplomatic cover, usually something for missions in unfriendly and hostile states, (shades of Cold War le Carré here) it would be for staff at the embas

Both the Foreign Office and the US State Department appeared to accept that she no longer had diplomatic immunity, and she wasn't a registered diplomat anyway -- she was the Intelligence officer's wife. Or at least that's w

Oh sure, I've no doubt there were individuals and some businesses quite badly affected, but look back at the overall growth, national and regional statistics and the periods with strikes or lock-outs are simply undetectable if not high

UK govt should be refusing all US extradition requests, and suspending all trials until it is accepted Sacoolas be extradited to the UK.

Ireland famously survived a six month lock out by nearly every bank in the seventies, with no harm to the economy. Pubs were local guides to credit worthiness, larger shops cashed cheques so businesses could pay staff (an era when many

It's probably the only possible successor to that surprisingly standard looking Merlin powered Phantom II someone did a few years ago.

Which goes to show you're far better off filtering at source while pollutants are at very high concentrations. Far better than trying to remove it when it's down to a few tens of µg / m⁻³. A damn sight more efficient, and no

The fascinating thing is the same applied for female voices in the same era in the UK too. I had always thought it was some artefact of the awful posh received pronunciation everyone was expected to adopt going through school. If you listen

Rather irrelevant considering the increasing chance of dying if you're hit. That's nothing to do with phone or pedestrian signals which can only affect the chance of being hit. Speaking as a car driver, in nearly all of those situ

Which is presumably why they are never used for major through routes, so don't cause severe daily congestion. Though I would like to see far more streets, even some with appreciable traffic, converted to downrank cars.

Aren't those ideas the underlying premise of shared streets (woonerfs)? Basically remove as many signs, markings and kerbs as possible so there's no segregation, and usually break up vision lines. The driver uncertainty stops tra

Which is why the manufacturers are trying hard to see the 3.5mm jack go the way of the dodo. You might keep on using something for decades, perhaps most of your life!
