I reckon the real tipping point will be when the Queen dies. It'll be like a couple who wait for the kids to leave home before they get divorced: as soon as she kicks the bucket, every country in the union is going to head straight off in it's own direction. There's no way Charles or William could ever fill the same place in the nation's psyche.

There's no way Charles or William could ever fill the same place in the nation's psyche. It has been a crazy long time. I wonder what things would look like now if 2 or 3 monarchs, starting with Elizabeth, had died early. The thing is, it's so abstract. If Tonty Blair had fallen in a volcano in 1999, we could point to concrete things to hang our alternate timeline on, but the general background feeling of the monarchy, and the value placed on it by much of the population, is much harder to quantify.

Theres some big brains in here and I was hoping you could help me with the ICO data protection fee. I run a webstore based on shopify and a mailing list on mailchimp for said store. I 'store' no data myself and run it all through the online portals, same for postage etc. All done online via the Royal Mail Click & drop service. When the fee first came in, it was quite clear (and I may be mistaken but I went through the 'are you exempt' thing they put out) that since I only used data to send orders out to customers and market to them it let me know I was exempt and didn't have to pay said fee, and notified them I was exempt. This morning I've got a lovely letter saying 'Why aren't you paying your fee, you should or theres a 4 grand fine! Check if you're exempt' and using exactly the same checklist I am still exempt but there is now no way to notify them off the back of this. And even when its telling you you are exempt, it still says 'You may want to pay the fee anyway, heres a link'. Its only £40 for my business so i'm not that bothered if I'm no longer exempt, or indeed wasn't actually to begin with so I just wanted to double check. Can anyone say for sure? Interestingly the letter gives you no contact information to notify them of said exemption, just a link to a portal to pay your fee.

There's probably more West Virginians aware of them than people currently resident in Scotland. e: Should say aware in the folk-mythological sense that it forms part of Appalachian history rather than necessarily aware of them in the way that any modern historian would agree coincides with what they were or stood for, but awareness nonetheless.

Don't suppose you know if it's possible to do the paperwork at an embasssy? I really don't like the idea of incredibly precious documents being lost in beuraucracy for several years. Also, I guess I have to get my dad to send me all the paperwork he used to get his citizenship (his mum was Irish, so I'd be using the grandparent route) - atm I've just got my birth certificate, and his irish passport number.

You can do it all online with scans of documents, if you are worried about important documents getting lost. I had tried to get my Scottish daughter an Irish passport but it kept falling apart because her (also Irish) mum lives in Scotland and trying to get her to sign the necessary forms was next to impossible as she wasn't always around. My plan is when things re-open I'll try to get it done, so my daughter at least will have the option to go to University in ireland.

I don't think so but don't know for sure. Did your dad do the formal citizen bit before or after you were born? If before then I think you can use his rather than your grandmother which should simplify it.

I still had to send originals in the post even after online submission. I'm talking about citizenship though, passport only might be different.

Whoops, looks like we left the tax haven club https://twitter.com/guardian/status/1352745052594970626?s=20 quote:Several jurisdictions have been taken on and off the list since it was first launched in 2017. However, those linked to EU member states have typically avoided inclusion, and the UK had lobbied to protect its overseas territories from past scrutiny.
