  • Stop children using VPNs to watch porn, ministers told

  • Yes plan law makers needs to have a clue on what they are making laws about. Teenagers looking for porn are going to learn.

  • Parts of Europe are suspending postal shipments to the US — and your order may not arrive

  • We should be matching tariffs.

  • [article] EU cave in on vehicle trade rules will cost European lives as US pick-up trucks flood into Europe

    Jump

  • It's hard in Europe as everything is constrained by pre-existing buildings. There just isn't the space to expand many roads without knocking stuff down that has been there hundreds of years. In the cities and towns, it's buildings, in the country it is stone walls.

    Though I would also road tax the bloody things extra.

  • Politicians can nothing, the roads are as wide as they can be already, being the hundreds of years of history. Better off just pedestrianizing them.

  • They will have higher running costs for their social statement. Hopefully that causes a correction. Especially as fuel costs vs electricity costs get worse.

  • But who is going to buy one? Be a nightmare in many European cities and towns, just too big for places built for horse and carriage. They just drink fuel, so are expensive to run. Plus, everyone will think/know you are a knob head.

  • Single standard, but multiple implementations.

  • Frances Ryan: Young people want to ‘go private’ – I’m a lifelong supporter of the NHS, but I can see why

    Jump

  • Private health companies often use the same facilities and stuff as public health. It ends up basically paying to jump the queue. Also the private health companies take the low risk, glamorous stuff and leave the complex, high risk, unglamorous stuff to public health.

  • Shit like this is why we need open source printers!

  • Farage adviser said UK would be better off if it had not fought in WW2

    Jump

  • From his corner of politics, they think that would have been better. They just can't say it directly or they would show themselves for what they are to their supporters, many of whom can't see it yet.

  • Being that post war Britain has defined itself as Britain's greatest hour was defeating the Nazis, this isn't a wise thing to say.

    This is a weak point of the British Far Right. They can't wrap themselves up in the Union Jack and claim to honour Churchill, while actually being Nazis. It's a weakness of us those opposed to the far right need to be pointing to a lot more.

  • Dairy farmers say worker shortage is threatening UK food security

    Jump

  • Have used it actually, but it's not as good. Also we know some dairy farming families and they aren't torturing their herd. Though you are right, I don't really care about the fate of them. As long as their isn't real sadistic cruelty. In that instance, I worry more about what it says about the people.

    I'm far more interested in the environmental impact. I can't seam to digest meat substitutes (even when they are meant to be coeliac safe). We make a point of restraining our beef consumption due to the environmental impact, as it's the worse meat impact wise. I'd jump on lab meat and milk.

  • Dairy farmers say worker shortage is threatening UK food security

  • You need people to choose it. Pricing dairy and meat away from the masses makes it a social inequality thing. I don't think that is the answer anyone wants. It can't be a hair shirt thing. (Though if history is to go by, there will be affordable meat from somewhere, legal or not.)

    It has got to be a better option thing. Like EVs vs ICE. Climate and pollution advantages are nice, but it's 10x running cost difference that sells EVs. It has to be a jam today option.

  • Dairy farmers say worker shortage is threatening UK food security

    Jump

  • Agreed, but the problem is butter is really nice. We want something as good, or better, that doesn't use so much land and water create so much CO2 (well CO2e).

  • Butter made from carbon tastes like the real thing, gets backing from Bill Gates

    Jump

  • This could be great, but "proprietary". Gates is still the same Gates. If you want to save all the land and CO2 this could, release the IP free to all. Flood the market with cheap indistinguishable synobutter, real butter can't compete with. Milk, cheese and yogurt next please.

  • China has built the world’s largest bullet-train network

    Jump

  • The north wasn't set to join up the Northern cities. Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds, New Castle all needs better connection. Going by rail East/West is terrible. Birmingham to London wasn't even going to be much faster.

  • China has built the world’s largest bullet-train network

    Jump

  • Not sure if you mean in the UK, but in the UK, I think it is hard. We had the politically lead Beeching cuts that messed up what we had. Then those lines had homes and shops built on them. So there a numerous places in the UK cut off from rail that are hard to reconnect without causing a lot of upset. Building new lines is very hard, see HS2 debacle. However, HS2 should have been focused on join up the north, not linking it to London. Also, there is a lot of improvement possible on existing lines. Though won't get us to bullet trains.
