Lovely to arrive at Cheltenham lido this morning (on foot) and discover that they’ve covered their car park in solar panels since I was last here. This should be standard for car parks everywhere. Same goes for any large roof.

If I was selling compulsory ID cards I simply wouldn't make my pitch: "we are going to make you all carry compulsory ID that will cost you £100+ so we can give the police and immigration enforcement Trump-style powers. This is progressive." www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The consequences that befall Musk now that he's attacked Trump publicly will be a measure of how well the US fits the competitive authoritarian model. The more severe, the better the fit. I despise Musk, but for the sake of US democracy, I hope his punishment doesn't violate the rule of law.

I’ve been getting emails from EE about a broadband account. Fine, except I don’t have an EE account. It seems that their customer has given them an incorrect address. Consequently I know the customer’s name, address, EE account number & bank details. 1/2

The campaign against the Planning and Infrastructure Bill has become increasingly hysterical - and not actually based around what is in the bill. To the extent that the Govt has felt forced to put out blogs like this which are basically them going 'what ya lying for?'
