Unenforceable over the entirety of Twitter, but don’t be surprised to see it used against specific individuals that are, say, critical of the government

Yeah, this will 100% be used only on high profile leftists, and not one right winger will ever be touched.

Bring back the drat lockdowns already, otherwise we will literally never get rid of this loving disease. :hotpickle:

We're never getting rid of this, we just have to wait until it's just like the flu - killing thousands a year, but at a steady rate.
Good news though, we're speed running that bit!

The Tory back benches are gonna revolt over the second jobs rules. Most of them are completely safe in their seats, and I have no problem believing they would rather topple the government than lose half their income.

I dunno if even Boris could get out of proposing these rules then withdrawing them.

Then again, the wording of this will 100% include some legal wording that means you can't be prosecuted for anything you did like this BEFORE it became law.

When my brother bought his house eight years ago on a new build, the rule was a minimum 1.5 parking spaces per house, so of course that's exactly what they built. Apparently that's the average number of cars a family has nationally - which of course discounts those people who live in cities and use public transport, if you live in an area with no decent links then you are out of luck.

Our rented neighbors are not talking to us as we complained to the letting agent because they kept parking across our drive preventing us access, we tried to talk to them, but they were never in or answered the door/notes, so we had to escalate. They are also trying to fit two cars and a van on the front of a two bed semi, and have two other partners for the adult children, and another child with kids who visit regularly - meaning there can by up to six cars trying to park on an already busy street at once.

Agreed, where did the word come from?

It's simply a ship that would dread naught - Fear Nothing - but it was not the first of that name.
