Another well written piece!

Labour sold themselves as being able to create “a partnership in power” at the last General Election, but the whole dynamic is rigged. The way it is structured means that the partnership is similar to that of a parent and child. You can see Welsh Labour are wanting to create space between the two govs, but if push comes to shove, parliament can tell the Sennedd to sit on the naughty step and withdraw power.

I think the only way around this while keeping the union is for England to have their own devolved parliament. There can still be a UK-wide assembly, but this should operate similarly to the EU where each country can still have a fair bit of autonomy.

Despite what some idealistic people will say, independence will require a huge amount of bureaucracy to achieve which will dwarf that of leaving the EU.

I realise the Lib Dems are likely trying to put a wedge between the parties with this statement, but I am fairly certain they have been pushing for increase devolution which is a pretty similar viewpoint of Plaid at the moment.

DM brewmaster also seemed make so many funny plays. It just shows how strong they are when teamfighting and overall cohesion for those mistakes not to matter in the end.

Defo rooting for them when I watch the finals back!

I don’t think I’m your guy haha. I do not have a ravioli bowl unfortunately.

Dŵr Cymru isn’t quite publicly owned. It is structured as a not for profit, public benefit company, but still is privately owned.

I believe this is far better than the structure of the English companies, but definately had some failings, probably partly due to having such a large area to cover, but with comparatively fewer people to serve (meaning less revenue).

They are then put in a situation where the UK government expects investment to come in privately, but then the shareholders are more likely to invest in the English companies with returns.

I am not all that knowledgeable on the US egg industry, but wouldn’t this mainly just the small scale farmers that would be struggling?

As it mentioned in the article, the large companies will have the leverage to raise the prices (article describes it as cartelization). And are then encouraged to keep the scale with compensation and I guess subsidies.

There are two pits, but just one rosh. He commutes between each pit on the day/night cycle and tosses anyone in his way, getting angrier the more heroes he tosses.

Ended up queuing oblivious to the patch yesterday, and the whole squad got quite confused that the dire side felt slightly different. Seems they are trying to compensate for the win rate diff.

Been listening to Jamie xx’s newish album In Waves. Got some pretty catchy beats.

Your song by HappyHappy reminds me of an American version of Crywank. Ironic having very contrasting names, but a similar kinda theme.

I have personally found that roads are nicer to walk along with people going slower, but I haven’t necessarily noticed more people walking. I think part of the issue is the way that new housing has been built where it is still a significant distance away from the places you need to get to is still keeping people in cars.

I have not noticed any differences in the lighting, but the Welsh Gov did postpone all road building projects at a similar time, and for any smaller residential road building I would’ve thought the builders would want it to be low speed anyway.

Always followed by “${currentChancellor} (under pressure|glad) as the economy…”, in the first sentence or somehow incorporated into the headline depending on the bias of the publication.

The problem is money. The amount of opposition the government got for allocating the spending for just changing the signs was huge.

Instead, any effort and capital should be going towards public transport and alternatives to car infrastructure, but there never seems to be enough money about.

Tulsi Gabbard, US director of national intelligence, said tapping Americans’ data would be an “egregious violation” of privacy that risked breaching the two countries’ data agreement.

A bit rich coming from America after what we found out after the Snowden whistleblowing.

The news is that it is a new change. The reason why it is being opposed is that it is needlessly restrictive on refugees which we already make as hard as possible to allow to apply already.

For example, imagine you are someone from the DR Congo and need to flee the conflict. You have family in the UK so you attempt to make your way here using refugee routes. You can only make it as far as France before having to take a boat over and get into the country illegally even before you can apply for asylum. Now even if this application is accepted, you can never become a citizen, even though you are legally living in the country.

The unfair bit of it is that you cannot apply for asylum without being in the country (except in certain circumstances) which you cannot enter without entering illegally. This is at least my novice knowledge of the way the system works at the moment.

Over in the UK, this got picked up by the mainstream papers. Maybe he is more well known over here. He is the type to often gets headlines for his outrageous comments.

The documentary is a good watch. It is scary to see how the PA members think their views are normal. e.g. saying something along the lines of “everyone thinks this…” after saying something abhorrent.

But to confuse things even more, colleges are places to go from 16, not to be confused with sixth-forms which do much the same thing, but are attached to secondary education schools.

Are you nearby to it at least? The last big one in December they had the emergency warning zone a fair bit bigger than the actual red area to account for people travelling. Which does make sense considering people will commute up to 50 miles or so, plus inaccuracies from phone masts covering a large area.

I loved it. I think it is a great progression from the battle passes which personally felt far more grindy and exploitative.

I really like the detail the put in to all of the little art works and sprites, and the minigames. You can tell it has taken more time with likely less profit than the battle pass system.

My only qualm is that because I wanted to follow the story, I wanted to complete an act in one go cos otherwise I will just forget. That meant I was just hording tokens for ages and not really participated until the last week.

British Gas is not exactly a oil company - they are a energy supplier for households (electricity & gas). However he could definitely be considered evil for pushing UK energy companies to excessive profiteering.
