Remember the petition about "Require videogame publishers to keep games they have sold in a working state" & the response saying "Those selling games must comply with UK consumer law. They must provide clear information and allow continued access to games if sold on the understanding that they will remain playable indefinitely."

Well the Petitions Committee has stepped in and say it did not respond directly to the petitiion request

Heavens, I do hope the Shareholder's profits won't be affected, that's all that matters on Shit Island.

All those lucky Brits who have been given the opportunity to have parasites, they should be grateful to their masters, not angry. For sure, what will getting angry do, it's not like the peasants will change anything! /s

“Across the country, private companies are swooping in to buy local water and sewer systems from the governments that own them. Then they jack up the prices -- forcing normal people to pay higher rates not just for the water that comes out of their faucets, but even the water that comes out of their toilets.

Only because the US is larger has the farce of municipality privatization remained less notable.

His pledges are the most pathetic I've seen from him yet.

6500 teachers? So enough for 1 teacher per 2 schools. Yeah, that'll solve the recruitment and retention crisis.

40,000 more appointments per week? That's less than 40 per hospital.

Sticking to tough spending rules? Rules that have consistently been shown to not work? Great stuff.

He's not exactly setting out a bold vision, is he?

British Journalism not even entertaining the notion that the contaminated water could come from a sewage outflow, of the sort our Water Companies are notorious for.

Esther McVey has vowed to drive equality, diversity and inclusivity out of government. In my latest piece for Yorkshire Bylines I explain why competent government isn't actually possible without them. https://yorkshirebylines.co.uk/society/equality-diversity-and-inclusivity-at-the-core-of-competent-government/?feed_id=758&_unique_id=66444d0ec930f

The #Conservatives make another decision that will make catching child abuse harder.

But then again, with the members in their ranks, perhaps that was their intention. #UKpol

Chancellor wants to build $1tn 'British Microsoft'

Chancellor Jeremy Hunt plans to raise a homegrown tech titan, but does the UK's investment landscape support that lofty ambition?

"In the latest local elections, the Greens took more seats from the Conservatives than from Labour (32 to 31). It’s the second wave of a dramatic surge: in May last year, three-quarters of the party’s gains were from the Tories across the south, south-east & east of England. Much of this was in picturesque areas where, says Green co-leader Adrian Ramsay, locals feel “overlooked” or “left behind”.

and so it begins.....

A Conservative councillor on Gloucestershire County Council has defected to the Green Party.

The Conservatives no longer have a majority.

Cllr Williams said her decision had been prompted by having lost faith in the Conservative Party nationally. “Over the past months I have grown increasingly disillusioned and angry and I cannot - morally or ethically - ignore my conflicting views as an individual and as a Conservative Party member.
