Hugely irresponsible

1) For your own safety, as someone who's worked in retail, do not confront shoplifters. Ever.

UK govt wants to deregulate nuclear safety rules

The complaint is regulators have a “culture of risk aversion”

Personally, I like my nuclear regulators to be risk averse. "Economic growth" shouldn't be their job

Nuclear accidents damage land & sea for generations

I must stop asking questions on the internet. I keep thinking that, since the enshittification of internet searching is essentially complete, throwing it out to people interested in the subject matter is my best bet for a helpful steer.

Mostly what i get is a reminder of what people can be like

You know the rules

Watching videos of police dragging away grannies for holding an anti genocide bit of card, thinking about the time the Met buried reports that one of their officers was a predator, then after he used police ID to kidnap, rape & murder a woman, they then arrested women for holding a vigil for her.

The number of arrests was the highest recorded in relation to a single operation in at least the past decade, according to Met police

Amnesty International called the mass arrests “deeply concerning”
