Only Russia broke that agreement. The US & UK have upheld their end.

Hint, do you actually know what’s in it ? I suspect not

It works exactly the same way ambulance access to pedestrian malls and shared zones works.

They don’t drive through at 60mph lights and sirens and “get the hell out of my way” attitude.

This is the UK not the US.

They can drive quickly up to the restricted zone, then they’re progressing at 5 to 10mph with the passenger watching for inattentive pedestrians.

Before the howl of outrage this is short distances in a high density city. The difference in travel time by slowing down for the last mile is a minute or two. Time that could just as easily be lost by inattentive drivers not moving out of the way en route.

Lol. Do you really think only govts can track you via your phone ? Both the phone OS providers and the telcos can readily do so, and additionally many apps ask for access that allows them to do so if you’re not careful. Refer the jogging app that compromised military security in Afghanistan & the middle east for example.

That doesn’t make the flock cameras irrelevant though. It takes an additional step because a) you can’t opt out of number plate tracking and b) it’s facial recognition as well as anpr into a central tracking database.

It’s a good explanation and would be logical if the council were acting in good faith, however the primary driver here is to reduce the number of people who are able to patronise these pubs and thus put them out of business.

A table and 4 chairs takes about the same space as a dozen people standing, and most of these pubs are on comparatively thin margins. Reduce the turnover by that much and they’re out of business. Which is what this residents group wants.

They’re pushing a lot of other restrictions not just the no standing, closing pubs at 10pm on weekends is clearly intended to make them less attractive to potential patrons for example

The council area is London’s biggest night life area, the local residents have elected a council who is determined to kill that. Businesses dont get to vote. So the small number if residents get to kill thousands of businesses.

It is democracy but not as we know it it Jim

The article is about thefts of vehicles, not thefts from vehicles.

And foreign policy is the one area Starmer was kinda ok-ish.

There’s a reason everyone hates him right or left

Good, this nimby group and its control of the council has been working to shutdown pubs and make restaurants uneconomical for several years. They moved into the social heart of London then are trying to close it down.

Here’s an article that discusses the impact of it falling

When artillery and troop movements were key then holding an urban environment like that was critical. Now that drones rule, the plains are more defensible than a city, there’s a reason the width of the grey zone / contested zone is much wider now. Losing any ground is obviously not ideal but it’s not as bad a thing as it once was.

It has been a fortnight filled with so much good news. Yes the orcs have landed a few blows but Ukraine definitely has this rounds on points.

Unlikely, he’s been running it a loss for years now, propped up by his money, his billionaire mates’ money and some launch contracts in addition to Starlink.

This is the reason he’s building in terms into the IPO that prevent him being ousted - public companies making losses are at risk of board shakeups, he’s making sure that isn’t possible before the float launches.

He doesnt care if twitter or spaceX lose money, they’re valuable levers to get what he wants

Lol. Yeah the UK has never had a famous singer or popular band in the last century. Can’t think of a single one. <eyeroll>

Good point.

(I was going to make a hammer reference but I figure that’s probably worn thin.)

It’s now like that girlfriend who constantly threatens to leave. Wanting you to beg her to stay to inflate her ego.

Go.

It’ll suck without you but we’ll manage.

Sick of hearing about it.

I’m not a Ukrainian drone designer, but at a guess: weight and cost.

Recoilless shotguns arent just pulling the stock off your grandpa’s shottie. They have a specific gas chamber design that is specific (ie not cheap to buy). They’re also not light so the drone has to be able to lift it.

Heavier drones like that werent widely available initially - UA were just getting in as many DJI drones from China as they could lay their hands on. Now they are making their own they can adapt the design to different uses.

Also using a low cost quad drone to kamikaze another drone was probably cheaper than specialist ones to shoot them down.

We have a very large 5th column funded by Putain & the Fanta Fascist. We can’t get complacent.

Good. The sooner the US pulls out the better, the newly fascist America isn’t going to uphold NATO anyway, so the sooner the band-aid is pulled off the better

So the Palantir whitewashing has started, seems the backlash has scared the techno-fascists. A shame the Guardian is uncritically on board. Feels more like a Daily Heil or terrorgraph sort of article
