Having seen the utter shit other countries have on TV, the licence stays.
- Comment on Energy minister says UK must ‘do whatever it takes’ to avoid gas supply crisis 2 days ago:
Increased demand for electricity is already outpacing increase in supply. The queue for new connections to the national grid has reached 29 GW (equivalent to 15 million homes or 300 data centres), and that is growing nearly three times faster than capacity. Headroom won’t exist by 2030 to allow sudden mass replacenent of gas for heating and cooking.

They already do flag themselves and have done for at least 20 years.
- Comment on Pornhub is urging tech giants to enact device-based age verification 6 days ago:
Mainstream adult sites carry a flag which trips content blockers. Have done for decades. Its all nonsense.

PH’s parent was one of the front running bids to operate the UK age verification scheme before it was abandoned.
- Comment on Pornhub is urging tech giants to enact device-based age verification 6 days ago:
They were caught out hosting non-consential and underage material, and so made a blanket ban of any material other than verified creators.

- Comment on Had to look this up 1 week ago:
Fighting along the border was entirely immaterial. There are a large number of English who either don’t know Ireland ia a different country, or that Northern Ireland is part of the UK. The only thing that registers for most is that “the IRA” set off some very large bombs in Manchester, Birmingham, London and Brighton, fired an RPG at the MI6 building and a mortar at Downing Street.
Its highly inaccurate to claim The Troubles as a border dispute, and most of the bloodshed was in the urban areas of NI. Most of the dead in NI were killed by their “own” side as reprisals for percieved disloyalty.

That’s not a star of david, and it wasn’t added for the film. That’s the floor of the Freemasons Hall in London.
- Comment on Thames Water tried to make MP pay its legal fees of up to £1,400 an hour 1 week ago:
It’s more the hottest summer in at least 141 years, preceded by the driest spring in 132 years, with the 3 hottest springs all occurring since 2017. In addition, a century of intensive farming has used up the residual groundwater in many places.
A nationalised water system would be just as - if not more - investment averse. Look to the RAAC situation, or British Rail. Privatisation is not the root cause of the drought.
- Comment on Thames Water tried to make MP pay its legal fees of up to £1,400 an hour 1 week ago:
There’s a hosepipe ban because much of England is still in drought. A few weeks of rain isn’t going to fix things. If it isn’t an especially wet winter, the drought will carry over and next summer will be brutal on agriculture and the vulnerable.

The standpipes which are connected to the mains which is operated by the company which now doesn’t exist?
And somehow there is a section of people who think the army can just step in and take over a whole system for an extended period and somehow be competent at it. While also magically fulfilling all their standing obligations. If such were remotely possible, it’s time for swingeing cuts to an obviously bloated military.

- Comment on Um, actually, Neville Chamberlain didn't "cave" to Hitler, he actually got a lot out of the deal. 2 weeks ago:
The prince who, by the time Chamberlain was PM, had already abdicated and was living in exile in France? Is there some alternate timeline you’re subscribed to?
- Comment on Would admins host a Reddit → Lemmy crossposting bot to help mods? 3 weeks ago:
Mirroring Reddit threads discourages participation as the OP isn’t there and there’s little point in discussing with yourself.

- Comment on Andrew will be banished from royal premises to King Charles' private and remote Sandringham estate 3 weeks ago:
So you want to steal their private property? Then bankrupt a lot of homeless charities by making them use very expensive buildings, then have a lot of bored people with nothing to do because they’re stuck in a country estate?

Remote apart from the hourly train to King’s Cross and being a straight drive up the A10, and being ten minutes away from King’s Lynn… Siberia would have been kinder.
