So that’s Farage a lock for PM then.

Speed limits are based on medical case histories on survivabilities. Sorry you think you have more right to live just because you go around in a metal box.

30 is for built up areas. Also key is that jaywalking isn’t a thing in Britain. Pedestrians always have right of way and can cross the street at any point so in urban areas motorists must be prepared to stop at any time.

There’s also a 10% grace where prosecutions under that are unusal. But the chances of survival being hit at 38mph are significantly lower than at 30, or even 33.

The ban is for exceeding the penalty points on her licence. She had 9pts before this conviction, and speeding carries 6-8pts which has put her over the 12pt limit, which she accumulated over 3yrs so that’s a 6-month ban.

After 6 months she will need to take her driving test again and reapply for her licence.

You can.

That’s exactly what they got for Iraq so…

They aren’t government-owned.

The BBC is very very big.

22,000 direct employees, thousands more freelancers and subcontractors. It’s one of the biggest broadcasters, cultural institutions and tech companies.

BBC News is the largest newsgathering organisation in the world, with content produced in around 45 languages and employs people in 73 bureax across 59 countries, as well as paying the salaries of journalists at dozens of local newspapers in the UK.

BBC Studios, the commercial and production arm, employs people in Canada, the US, Australia, India, NZ, Netherlands, Germany, France, Poland, Brazil, Singapore, China, Taiwan, UAE, SA and S Korea.

So it’s a city-sized corporation with cultural and language barriers. It’s also the largest public service broadcaster in the world, with £3.8bn of its budget paid for by the licence fee. This subjects it to more scrutiny than almost any other broadcaster.

It publicly publishes its annual report and accounts, a listing of its top salaries, and a summary of recent paid external events undertaken by journalists and top executives, where there’s always material for the tabloid press, who resent the power the BBC has.

BBC News does nothing more zealously than report on the BBC’s controversies and missteps. At any commercial broadcaster most of that stuff would be behind locked and bolted doors, with only a terse statement by the press office.

And it’s a media organisation. The public is fascinated by TV and radio. They are more interested in a harrassment investigation at the BBC than they would be at British Steel.

So, due to its size then, you’d expect more incidences than in most media organisations. Due to its sector, you’d expect more public fascination with incidences than almost anywhere outside politics, and due to its funding model it always has a target on its back from the likes of the Murdochs.

They are the sole British carrier-capable fixed wing aircraft, and have been used in NATO air policing operations. They are currently embarked on HMS Prince of Wales as it conducts its training and freedom-of-navigation mission in the Indo-Pacific.

Verification is part of the law

And any instances hosted in the UK or accessible from the UK are subject to this law.

They’re worth a bit more than £15 now.

They’ll get round to Lemmy eventually.
