Looks so good!

I've got some tyres with the same sort of trim but in white. Love it, but it is an absolute pain to keep clean.

It'll always be in the dry cleaners though cos everyone will want to milkshake you

A law only exists if it's enforced

I agree. Police are not around to enforce, maybe they'll get traffic wardens to do it, but I can imagine this will end up with more conflict if the driver is in the car. At least having this as news encourages people to talk about it and hopefully be a good self-reminder.

ANPR cameras have been used in the UK for decades to mainly enforce things like tax, inner-city emissions restrictions and speed. I realise this has recently become a contentious issue via Flock in the US, but it seems to me a fairly efficient way to enforce these things. There are two big differences with the American model - data is kept within the police (not a private third-party), and policing is not nearly as well resourced.

If you are concerned about privacy, then a mode of transport that doesn't require you to have a unique identifier plastered over your vehicle seems like the better option to me.

Most of the pc cases I have had are metal-bodied; what difference would this desk then have with a metal case, or are they normally non-conductive?

Referring to himself in the third-person too.

How would you feel if this tourist tax was instead charged at the point of an overnight stay? I feel like this is the more common option across Europe, but also has been criticised pretty heavily.

Complete speculation, but it could be related to the party he's leading or staff considering how quick the resignation came. Otherwise I am sure he would've dragged his heels and said that domestic and professional life are distinct. Apparently there have been some issues within the party in Wales in terms of unity (as demonstrated by the defection).

This is far better than they normally do seeing as they actually got the opinion of a trans person effected.

I've been quite enjoying Death Valley in the meantime. Quite a similar vibe to it.

I've been having the same thing recently with cloudflare even with a VPN completely off. Opening in a private window seemed to solve for me so must've been something related to my fingerprint or add-ons.

I feel like it is becoming possible. Or at least irrevocable from Farage, and Farage is Reform. There is similar tones from the media as Truss with the lettuce or Miliband and his bacon sarnie.
