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.

Good meme.

I think this is a situation where they can't just call it olive oil due to regulation and they have a set title-summary format in the product range (Essential Waitrose if I recognise the font).

I've also been enjoying watching Team Vision (as they'll be called for TI) but since they've moved away from the DPC haven't really been keeping up. There just seems to be too much on all the time. Maybe I am just losing my free time too compared to my student days.

Not on a government-level, it's just a policy of some of the big supermarkets and their subsidiaries.

I've always called it Sunday lunch, but do use a mush of dinner and tea. Dinner is just the biggest meal of the day, and may or may not be at tea time.

There are a lot of assumptions in this thread so I am going to make another one and assume that these are ULEZ cameras around London.

There was a controversial expansion of the low emissions zone to cover the whole metropolitan area a couple of years ago. After that, groups, mainly from the hard-right factions decided that they wanted to cut them down. This isn't a privacy move as they weren't targeting any of the many other existing cameras that are set up for things like vehicle tax and insurance, but more of a "I want to drive what I want no matter how polluting" type thing. There are also overlaps with the 15-minute city and anti-net-zero gang.

Although it sounds nice to have the whole city be demotorised, I don't think that is quite feasible yet. If you are wanting to be privacy-conscious, using a car is not the way forward.

Sorry to be argumentative, but I think this is a bit of an ignorant take. For hundreds of years the English have been "having a say" in the affairs of the Welsh language, both actively and passively. What's to say that the language shouldn't be taken back and encouraged, however small of a step?

I am not all that well versed with the history compared to some (some things in the past were far more brutal), but from my own personal experience the Welsh language has been wiped from my family within two generations. From being a first language to the current generation knowing almost nothing. This is down to Welsh being portrayed as a peasants language and from this my grandmother refused to pass any of it down, or even speak to her neighbours in it despite them talking to her in Cymraeg.

Comparing Welsh to German I feel is also a poor comparison. Welsh is a native language and has been spoken here longer than English has. This very article is in the 'Wales' section too so aimed at Welsh people. Despite the majority of Wales speaking English today, most people will still understand some words and appreciate it being used.
