Everyone seems to want cyclists to have number plates so they can be caught misbehaving, but oddly people take offence at measures for catching drivers....

AA 'heads up' over new AI cameras that can 'peek' inside your car

Saw this on a local page.
Do always remember, if it's dark outside, one should always think about the poor drivers before one leaves the house, and don one's fluorescent jacket.
And if you are of course nearly flattened, do remember to keep things civil & gentlemanly, whatwhat.

God I'm so sick of the slogan 'Back British Farming'.
Why is anyone supposed to automatically bestow greater importance to someone just because they are British.
Back EVERYONE!

How is that once again, the Tories are coming out looking cleaner on worker benefits than the Labour Party?

Five years ago first Bill I worked on was for pensions dashboard, so people can keep track of own money.
Still not implemented.

Labour quietly ditches Tory ‘pot for life’ pensions plan
Tory Jeremy Hunt’s plan was meant to stop workplace pension pots being lost as workers change jobs — but was widely criticised by the savings industry.

The more I think on the new farm tax, the more I'm thinking it's been misjudged.
It comes down to where we draw the line on "small" farms, & currently £1m is probably not it.
I'd be happy to see the policy tweaked but NOT before a discussion on the paradox of high land values & low farm incomes.

Genuine question, why is agricultural land so expensive?
If farming results in such famously meagre profits, who would (or could) pay £10,000+ per acre for practically no return?
Something doesn't add up about all this.
