- Comment on David Walliams named as celebrity who tried to block publication of sexual misconduct allegations 6 hours ago:
There was a request for an injunction in England and Wales, but it failed, which is why it was reported on in Scotland earlier, and now in England today.

- Comment on From young offender to junior doctor: 'I wrote a plan and stuck to it' 3 days ago:
Fantastic story and good luck to him!
I feel like he was failed by social services here though, he was in his early teens caring for his parents? They must have been aware?
- Comment on HMRC puts 200 billionaires on UK tax crackdown hitlist 1 week ago:
Sounds like progress to me.
- Comment on HMRC puts 200 billionaires on UK tax crackdown hitlist 1 week ago:
Given Lemmy’s obsession with taxing the rich which will obviously solve all problems, you’d think this post would be a lot more popular.

- Comment on Counter-terror police investigate Iran link over suspected bomb plot at RAF base used by US 5 weeks ago:
This whole thing is fucking weird. Now they’ve arrested a UK-Iranian person for preparation of terror attacks in relation to this.
- Comment on Avanti West Coast to be renationalised in March 1 month ago:
What can the nationalised operator do to reduce the number of cancellations? Is there a way to tell if they’re at fault, or if the cancellations are down to the Network Rail side of things?
- Comment on Counter-terror police investigate Iran link over suspected bomb plot at RAF base used by US 1 month ago:
It sounds like someone made a call before the woman did, so that might explain it and the very rapid response (she claims the armed police were there within 10 minutes).
- Comment on Counter-terror police investigate Iran link over suspected bomb plot at RAF base used by US 1 month ago:
The US president, Donald Trump, claimed to have had the suspects under view for a “long time” and alleged the men “were looking to do big damage” – although the Guardian understands the operation was not intelligence-led, suggesting investigators had not known about any potential plot in advance.
“It was fantastic. Working with Britain, it was an amazing job,” Trump said.
Obviously more bullshit. The whole thing was foiled by a woman returning home late from a party and calling the police. Nobody knew jack-shit!
- Comment on Every UK Billionaire to be Assigned a Tax Compliance Manager 1 month ago:
It was behind a paywal so felt it made more sense to primarily link to the un-paywalled version.

- Comment on UK to give military support to Saudi Arabia in fight against Houthis 1 month ago:
Sky must have some sort of script to block copying their text, as I couldn’t easily copy/paste that snippet.
- Comment on UK to give military support to Saudi Arabia in fight against Houthis 1 month ago:
The UK will only provide support for air-to-air refuelling for Saudi planes on defensive missions, rather than for a wider range of military actions.
One RAF voyager will be used for the refuelling.
- Comment on War may be coming. Are we psychologically ready? 1 month ago:
Yep. They can barely make any progress against a country they share a huge land border with. How the hell would they launch a serious campaign against the UK? I really struggle to take it seriously.
Russia’s a bigger threat in terms of espionage and sabotage to the UK and Europe.

- Comment on New battery-powered trains will ‘bring faster journeys to north’ 1 month ago:
The train lines between Manchester - Leeds & York go over the Pennines with lots of very old, very long tunnels. The cost to electrify those lines probably doesn’t make it worth it. Maybe they could partially electrify it closer to Manchester & Leeds which would require smaller and lighter batteries.

- Comment on Anger as workmen rip out 'lovely' Levenshulme alley garden 2 months ago:
It makes sense here for the people that have poured time and money into improving their community over the years, only for it to be mindlessly vandalised by bureaucrats.

- Comment on Every payment option has a fee 2 months ago:
Americans seem allergic to showing a simple single payable amount that the customer pays. It must be exhausting. It must be like trying to book RyanAir tickets, but with everything.

- Comment on TV shows on streaming services showing the titles in every language in history for each episode 2 months ago:
I guess I’m just being lazy in not fishing my phone out to then move it onto the next episode, expecting it to roll over any second like it used to. Then I’ll wait expecting it to change any second, and repeat.
I think Netflix still does this but there’s a couple of others that show the titles each episode.
