- Comment on Wimbledon school crash: Woman rearrested over deaths of two girls 1 day ago:
Hmm. I was present when a friend discovered he had epilepsy when he had his first seizure. It was life-changingly awful for him. He had to give up his university course (chemical engineering IIRC), his planned vocation, and - amongst other things - his driving license.
If this is a genuine case then I really feel for Claire Freemantle, 48. She’s discovered she’s epileptic, has accidentally killed two children, and now it is being implied she did it on purpose.
- Comment on Gig economy firms warned by UK government they may be operating illegally 2 days ago:
Good. Almost all ‘disrupters’ are basically about sidestepping regulations which is what allows them to undercut legitimate companies which are compliant.
- Comment on Axel Rudakubana: 'Evil' Southport killer jailed for minimum 52 years 6 days ago:
Dude’s 18 now so this means he’ll be in prison until he’s 70. At least.
And no, absolutely no death penalty until the justice system can be proven to be completely flawless and incapable of convicting an innocent. And even then I’d say no.

Oi! That’s the UK City of Culture 2025 you’re talking about!
“Even reading the local newspaper, some of the headlines can be very upbeat, and beneath it are just loads of comments that, ‘This is a disaster, it’ll just never work, Bradford is doomed’.”

- Comment on Yo, Duplo, what you doing on the 24th? 1 month ago:
My kids do the same - they ask for Lego Minecraft sets or Lego Ninjago sets or whatever, build them and stick them on the shelf. They’re horrified by my suggestion that they tear them down and build other random things with the bits. And, of course, a lot of the bits nowadays are so specialized that they have limited uses. When I was a kid most of my lego was just standard blocks.

It will be interesting to see how that guidance is a. interpreted, and b. bypassed.
