I bought a set over a year ago for my son, then the school library also seems to have them (they pick a book a week)

If they truly cared about dirty money, tax evasion and all the tricks the rich do to keep their wealth, the tax regimes in these places would mirror the tax regime for working people in the UK (and tax capital gains in the same way as employment income BTW!).
It's pathetic complaining about these places not doing such a minor thing after decades of using them to hide their wealth, please their wealthy overlords and/or evade taxes...
Finally, some good news for once and progress!
Do you reckon Israel/Mossad has some proper dirt over the UK, is it the City's financial interests or something else? It's just shocking that we continue to support a genocide despite it clearly being opposite to what the majority of us want.
I could only watch 25 minutes (so far) of the doctors in Gaza documentary the BBC refused to show, because I cried at least three times. The multiple children being carried to try to get help with serious looking injuries. The solar panels being destroyed which meant premature children died. The blood soaked floor around the ambulance. The absolute pain of the doctor talking about when a nurse brought in his daughter who was killed. The people watching the bombing of Gaza through those fucking telescope things you get at the beach or from tall buildings like it's a tourist attraction. The guys being stripped naked, blindfolded and led about in a stadium.
An artist said a few words at a concert that is crazily expensive to go to, which doesn't even meet the threshold of hate speech (in my view).
Where should we focus our attention and outrage I wonder?!?
Yes please. At this point, we need local councils to lead this as it's just impossible at a parent or school level. We need the infrastructure changes too as I can't see us getting there without it. It takes just one car driver to enforce their right of way on a road if it's just open
We're very aware in the UK but it's not too easy. We have some the oldest housing stock in the world. We don't have central air with no real way to retrofit so it would have to be one room at a time. Our windows aren't designed to house those units I see in NY. We have to rely on very inefficient portable units so I only use it on the really hot days. Energy prices are still high after Russia's invasion. People are adding proper units when extending but only the rich can really afford that.
This is why I happily pay for channel 4 plus, even though I don't use their app for viewing all that much
Gaming and wanking
Wait, the police are going after a royal, I thought that was impossible?!? (speaking from the UK where we clearly have a rapist and paedophile...)
Around me, any places with activities (golf, bowling, climbing, laser quest, gyms, trampoline parks, theme parks, etc), especially if they have a cafe. If they host children's birthdays, it's all done by teenagers it seems.
Fast food places don't seem to have teenagers like they used to, it's mostly older immigrants so guessing they'll work harder for less money.
I bought a new domain for my business and there was no trace of any old business name when researching connected to that domain. After about 6 months I received some data from an old client of theirs. It had a company name so I was able to let someone from that company know, as well the sender and I deleted the data before reading it. I guess you have to think what did you use it for, who might send data that identifies you etc. You never know who might buy it.
I remember reading an article but can't find it now. A researcher bought tons old domains from government and local departments that had shut down or changed names, and managed to get some interesting information!
