I don't understand. It's an article about England. They only have information to hand about England, from the authority tasked with dealing with health in England. If I read an art…

Given that Great Britain is an island, it is still much easier to drive down the M6/A74(M) or take a hike around the Welsh borders than say, take a flight or swim.

Indeed but there are still different decision makers and sets of voters electing them.

In this case it's health related and each of the countries in the UK have their own National Health Services (or Health and Social Care in NI). It's not a lapse here.

I wouldn't have assumed this really because really the whole point of devolution is that they get to choose what to prioritise, so perhaps the other nations choose to do something …

In places where we have that the scam is just money for transport, utilities, or whatever. Something has happened which means they cannot access their money and make the usual paym…

I know this sounds awful - but perhaps hiring people that would turn their workplace into what you just described was exactly what they (as an organisation, not necessarily individ…

Same - in Soho on a nice (or even not that nice) Friday (or Monday, or Thursday) the whole place would just be one big open air pub. You'd meet so many great people - the atmospher…

Being from the UK I’m pretty sure they mean more unhinged. To be fair I did enjoy the ‘unhingedness’ but I’m also appreciating that being at least a decade younger was also great.

Apparently, and I quote from the article (definitely not an LLM): "Decathlon didn’t just add a new payment button to its German checkout page. It handed European banks their first …

I’ll need a moment to let this sink in. It’s not just technology, it’s a movement.

There's another quite good blog from Cloudflare about this here too: https://blog.cloudflare.com/enforce-first-as-bgp/

I was recently looking at a Python project to learn a bit about RTC and just generally hack around and try something out. https://github.com/aiortc/aiortc It was fun and I found th…

I remember vaguely from interning at a bank that there you were actually obliged to be totally isolated from the company for a continuous period of time by policy. The thinking was…

Yes - and realistically, if you're $BIGCO who's shipped a billion devices with some obscure curl vulnerability you just discovered, then the hard part is going to be rolling out a …

Such a shame - in America they give you $95 for not getting Siri apparently https://apnews.com/article/apple-iphone-siri-artificial-inte...

I'm afraid that it looks as if there are plenty of other contenders for those who might wish to undermine the EU, now and in the future.

Yes I have also received payments for refunds of PAYE automatically within a month or two of no action on my part.

Some banks in some parts of the EU have - SEPA instant was only mandated in January 2025, only for Euro payments.

Selling a car usually does require a report to the government. Why would the seller care what happens down the line to the buyer?

Don’t let facts get in the way of a good narrative it seems.

I’ve never submitted a tax return in the UK as a simple PAYE employee. In another European country where I work (Finland) it’s as you describe but it’s still more than doing absolu…

This is about illegally dangerous products (banned chemicals, dangerous baby toys, crappy mains chargers) specifically. The stuff that makes for exciting viewing on Big Clive's You…
