Interesting. "The value of the damage." I'd say it's pretty likely the Banksy worked increased the value of the wall, if not the whole property. So is that negative damage? The people who decreased the value where those who tried to clean off the artwork.
The Left is split over Labour, LebDem, Green, SNP and Plaid Cymru. Now, also Corybn's new party.
The Right traditionally consolidated on the Conservatives and in NI, UUP. Now Reform are the Right consolidation point. Plus Con+Reform merge seams likely. UUP always worked with the Conservatives.
Amazing Labour ever win really. If Labour cared about country over party, they would be doing electoral reform. But they are still hoping they can take all the power under FPTP, with a few more point of the vote than others by the time the election. They are betting the country on it. Right now, it looks like this will let the fascists.
This is the nub of the issue. Markets need effective competition. Without it, you get fiefdoms and serfs, and shit products. Antitrust laws have been terrible for decades. Thanks to broken political thinking. Smash up the tech monopolies and not just tech will improve.
Legally forced sharing from all platforms with onion routing and no ID?
Government road data fed by all those cameras?
Seams a solvable problem if done with privacy in mind not as yet another opportunity for mass surveillance.
What is desperately needed by all the open source navigation apps on Android is traffic info. You just can't plan a half decent route without it. Speed limits info is not enough to know the time a route will take. You need the actural average speed of the roads. Especially on old European roads.
We should have all got off American tech monopolies decades ago. For some reason, people struggled to see them for what they are. America should never have allowed such consolidation for their own sake. They nearly dealt with MS but then chickened out after 911.
While I'd like to see this, in our rising fascist anti-immigrant political climate, where even the BBC mix up migrant and refugee, it seams unlikely. These are brown Muslims compare with white Christian of Ukraine. Despite attempts to make it illegal, there is a lot of pro-Palestine support, but I don't think that will translate to a lot of support to bring them here. It should, but won't. Britain is losing it's soul.
If you go from Labour to Reform, your not of the Left. Or fooled. Guess will find out if the left is so split by election time and Reform splip in. I'm blame Corybn for that like I do for Boris's win. That time it was by repelling people to the Tories. This time it would be vote splitting. Though I agree with a good chunk of what he says, he a political menace of the left.
I think all the left wing parties agree there is a problem with in equality. If the left splitters off to load into so many parties, it will lose. No matter if it makes up over half the electorate. FPTP is basically rigged against the left because the left struggle to compromise and unify.
They try that American's world standing will keep plummeting. I know the US is incredibly inward looking, but it would be hard to hide that reality from the population.
Because we have FPTP and this will further split the left vote and let Reform / Tories in.
Our number one priority should be to kill FPTP and make it so we don't have governments only a minority of the voters wanted.
We know a Corbyn Labour party scares people to vote against Labour. He has a ceiling. There is a lot of country that subscribes to his views, but not enough to do more than strip those votes from Lab/Lib/SNP/Green/Plaid.
Reform are worse than Tories and I fear if they ever get power, they do a Trump. Damage the country and be hard to remove.

Yet the government is still on TWITTER?
Isn't this incitement?
Seams like anything is OK if you are a billionaire.
