- Comment on After killing Ali Khamenei why doesn’t the US attack Mojtaba Khamenei? 1 hour ago:
It took six months to track and select the optimal time and place to attack. These things take a while.

No such thing
- Comment on So why are Indian curries so popular in the UK? (interest in culinary perspectives). 4 days ago:
They aren’t. “Indian curries” are a British invention, where in the C17th onward a vast collection of dishes from disparate and very regionalised cuisines were conflated together by those in the Raj as “curries”.
These curries were adapted and created for British tastes, and were not eaten by the native populace. When men and later families came back to Britain from postings in the Raj they brought this new cuisine with them, and sometimes their cooks.
Commercial Anglo-Indian cuisine appears from the 1920s, and with the end of the colony and the partition came a wave of immigrants from Pakistan, who opened up more establishments.
The boom began with Bangladeshi refugees arriving in the 1970s, about the time when working classes were looking beyond fish and chips for “eating out”. Here British Indian Restaurant cuisine was formed, a highly modular style of cooking which allows a great degree of customisation by the customer and an economic use of ingredients.

Arbitrary prosecution isn’t on either, I’m afraid. Evidence is required.

John doesn’t even owe a private apology, yet he has made one. His attendance was solely on the understanding that as his biopic was nominated, he would be in an understanding environment. BAFTA failed him, and if they didn’t brief those on stage adequately they failed them too.

Fair play. At least some good came of this.

- Comment on Doom Bar maker Sharp’s Brewery in Cornwall to be closed by US owner 1 week ago:
They’re claiming the site is unsustainable, not the product.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
It’s not erasing the harm, nor even minimising it. But it is putting a sane limit on the issue. Some people see that as a threat to their fundraising / lecture tour / book deal.

There haven’t been so many shitty people in one room since the incident at the sewage works.
- Comment on We conduct affairs of state in a building that’s riddled with asbestos and mice. Can’t Britain do any better? 2 weeks ago:
Move to where exactly? It would have to be a large estate, with over 1000 office suites, security, two chambers, media facilities including uplink and contribution studios, and so on. Wherever it goes will have two major shocks, one when house prices and infrastructure demand surges, then a crash when parliament leaves again.
- Comment on The HOA isn't going to be happy about the colour, though. 2 weeks ago:
Though that’s usually a parish council matter instead.
- Comment on Lord Mandelson arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office 2 weeks ago:
He has been arrested, not charged, so it’s not comparable. In any case, the protestors were held on remand because they told the judge at the bail hearing that they would gladly reoffend given the opportunity whilst on bail. They must have wanted to be held on remand, for some reason.

- Comment on Rural drivers to face steepest bills under UK’s mileage-based electric vehicle tax 2 weeks ago:
Then opt-out of the tracker and pay based on raw odometer readings.
- Comment on Rural drivers to face steepest bills under UK’s mileage-based electric vehicle tax 2 weeks ago:
Maybe an offline GPS ringfenced mileage tracker to be reported at MOT. Only counts UK mileage, and tough to cheat.
- Comment on Rural drivers to face steepest bills under UK’s mileage-based electric vehicle tax 2 weeks ago:
You would pay UK duty if you drove on Irish roads with a fuel tank filled in the UK.
- Comment on Rural drivers to face steepest bills under UK’s mileage-based electric vehicle tax 2 weeks ago:
Doubtful. Any government will have to do this. Fuel duty is almost 2% of government income.
