I can't help but feel that the people who ask these questions would be far more useful to society if they were in some other employment.

There's a French legal term that the Anglosphere has adopted: force majeure. Musk turning into a Neo-Nazi is an extraordinary and unforeseen event but one that is a probably missing from a force majeure clause.

One good decision doesn't make up for all the bad ones. It's already too late for five-year Keir and his party.

Is there a law now that prevents any highway authority from painting white rectangles on a road? There's a 20 mph shared space zone here that predictably was abused by motorists and a zebra-style crossing was added without any beacons.

There are hundreds of steam locomotives running on dozens of restored "preserved" railways up and down the country, happily recreating the outmoded form of transport that led to their closure in the first place.

Today truly is Black Tuesday. First the idiotic approval of Sizewell C and support for SMRs, now driverless car bollox. Labour is incapable of telling the difference between good and bad technology. We already have a vehicle better than any driverless car but chronically underused - the bicycle.

I defy you. A terrible decision to go ahead with Sizewell C. Hideously expensive, simply not needed and no guarantee it will actually work due to unreliable reactor design and lack of cooling water. Anyone who is not anti-nuclear is in my opinion crackers.
