And try checking what those fees are compared to the BBC licence fee, and what they actually provide. No competition whatsoever. You'd think the DT and Sunday Times, who themselves today published an article claiming the Gov is planning to abolish the licence fee, might have something to gain if this happened. Surely not. Also worth noting that the free licence fee for the over-75s is a Government funded scheme which the Gov is ending this June...

Tory leave voters could vote for their natural side. I just thought it was interesting that Cat as a leaver didn't vote Tory, the only party on the Leave side that could realistically win and deliver Brexit. It seems to go against the grain of how most people voted, i.e. ignoring political allegiances and voting along the lines of leave or remain instead. I was interested in hearing the backstory to his position...

I suspect for Brexiters it's more about who is making those rules than what the rules actually say. Likewise for those 4,200 laws/directives that most Brexiters can't name any. It's a dislike that the laws were made by the EU, not whether they might actually be beneficial. The fact that we were a major player in the EU doesn't seem to register, it's not enough for them. The question is what would it take for them to change this isolationist mindset. How do you counter something that is ideological and absolutist over cooperative and pragmatic? I'm not even sure economic damage will change minds for a lot of them...

In Flickr settings you can hide photos from public searches incl 3rd party sites, not sure if that would stop what happened though. The other thing you could do is to rate your photos 'restricted' which I think means only Flickr users can see them...

You can imagine the hysterics if a Grime/Drill music festival rocked up instead. Plans made to board up homes, the cleaner/au pair told to take the long weekend off, flights booked to Tuscany, quicker than you can say Vossi Bop...

Well, as it's a quiet day on trade talks... I would've thought that had the report contained anything explosive against the Gov something would've been leaked by now. Equally, if the report had nothing explosive in it, the Gov itself would've leaked something along those lines. So my ha'penny's worth is that it's somewhere in between, there has been Russian influence but of the Tory donor kind, and probably more extensive than thought...

Derailing is a bit harsh, more of a points change of track...
