People who are proud of their products want them to be identified. I don't want USA chicken even (or is that, especially?) in my cat's food.

Johnson really does seem to be rubbing even brexit voting MPs up the wrong way. OK, so he and Johnson were not exactly best mates, but...: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-54142845 Be thoughtful about who you ask to resign. Especially when they are replaced by a bottom grade relatively poorly...

The result of no-deal?

The cull that is required is of the whole program. Preferably most of the sports department. I do not like watching sport. At all. I am perfectly content for others to watch sport. I am perfectly happy for the BBC to spend a reasonable proportion of their budget on sport for those people. And...

You, of all people, seem to be accusing this government of "good intentions"?

My head is burning up trying to understand how you can manage multiple sets of state aid rules. Surely, the only way of doing so is abiding by the most restrictive rules that have, so far, been agreed? (I appreciate you could see a highly specific term which only applies to some trading...

Had I been asked, I'd have found it difficult to split between "young people" and everyone else. I see quite a lot of older people failing to maintain distances, pushing in, not wearing masks (only required here as of today), etc. I see quite a lot of younger people wearing masks, generally...

Unfortunately, the word "village" is inextricably linked, via Tom Lehrer, to Sam:

When he gets round to it. (Ho ho...)

But, but, but... They're all wearing masks! :)

From its first announcements, Bluetooth seemed to take forever to become widely available and reliable. For such a promising technology (well, what it promised to allow), it was extremely slow. And I still notice Bluetooth oddities which should have been sorted long ago (though they might be due...

I wonder whether Apple and Google will ever exploit Ultra Wideband (UWB) such as is present in iPhone 11 and Galaxy Note 20 (and possibly others as well)? Obviously, UWB can only detect other devices with UWB, so currently a minor factor. But it would be an obvious potential enhancement. Maybe...

What the top lawyers did is exactly what I expected. Not as if Suella even has any significant experience of international law of this type. To misquote Burns: A Crime’s a Crime for a’ that...

I see: Just how many calls will report Cummings, Jenrick, et al?

Being a squaddie has never been very much appreciated by those outside the army. Now they might be used to deliver Covid-19 vaccinations. Worse, it looks like it might become a truly tankless task.

Aside the fact that distrust of the greater data collection, and centralised storage of (some) data, meant many would not go near it. Pretty much as soon as they chose to store and centralise data, they ensured its failure as a widespread app, even had it worked well. BTW - "Strategy" is far...

Who misunderstood whom? Are they skilled negotiators, or not? Did legal people go through every clause, or not? Did he sign it, or not? Did no-one read the contemporary papers (that is, the ordinary newspapers which are available to anyone with a few coins in their pocket) which explained...

Seems to me it is the government which should be larded and barded, basted and roasted. Not some poor app. :)

No idea. But I don't see why they could not have gone with the RoI/NI product at the same time that it was rolled out there. Which would not have precluded launching E/W/S or UK versions (as appropriate) later. We could have had that many weeks of actual app coverage. If nothing else, we would...
