  1. While this is from TLDR news and about youtube, I do wonder about the implications for folks who run Peertube instances.

    Britain's New Plan that Could Kill YouTube

    @neil are you aware of this new consultation?

    This is an open consultation by the UK government so folks could respond.

  2. Does anyone know where I can get a copy of the UK Government's Exercise Turnstone report? If we're going to get CO2-shortage induced food shortages it'd be helpful to know what we're up against!

  3. Looks like Starmer is resisting Trump’s pressure to pull us into the war with Iran - but with this level of pressure and threats it’s only a matter of time before our Government could give in.

    I just signed this petition to the PM - demanding he sticks to his guns and doesn’t give in to Trump. Because we need to show him that giving in would be hugely unpopular with the public. Please sign..... 38d.gs/pj2m

  4. @ScottishGreens

    International terrorism on British soil.

    If Putin did it there would be words in Parliament, complaints to the Embassy, and diplomats expelled.

    Why not?

  5. UK Parliament, 2009: “Bad Language: The Use and Abuse of Official Language”

    This is a fun official read:

    Sir Richard said: “The evidence must be that this discontentment built up and this behaviour was such as could not go on.” In English, this would be translated as: “People were being quite outrageous and had to stop.”

  7. Yesterday I learnt about my PIP being taken away, this puts me down an extra £400+ from what I was already struggling, It is to the point that I have a few options.

    Option #1: Find a way to make that money back and fight for my PIP back by appealing, most likely being picked and prodded by doctors.

    Option #2: Make up that 400 and not appeal meaning I will have to keep generating that 400 each month to cover my basic costs of food and stuff.

    Option #3: Do nothing about it and suffer.

    At this point all I can say is that I'm not sure what to do and I hate the UK Government for doing these changes, this is not a needed thing on top of all my pain.

  9. Depressed at how the UK government is responding to the ambulance worker strikes (hey folks....don't do ANYTHING that might require an ambulance today)

    I walked (carefully, holding all hand rails of course...) to the ambulance station to donate to their strike fund. Because contrary to the UK governments's opinion they are striking because that is the ONLY way to get heard. Their wages are so low the loss of a day's pay is significant
