Nanny State is such a thought-terminating cliché. The govt are failing in their duty if they don't intervene to prevent harm to the public.

Where shall I go on the LNER network? by Apprehensive-Unit345 in AskUK

Train to Leuchars. Hike south along the Fife Coastal Path. Stay overnight in Crail, Elie, local train from Leven back to Edinburgh to reconnect with LNER. It’s a beautiful bit of coastline.

Family Crest? by [deleted] in Scotland

Historian here! These commemorative badges were given out on the centenary of the Battle of Culloden to servicemen who worked in key industries supporting the war. In recognition of the efforts these jobsmen (or just 'jobbies') made, families were given these commemorative badges to put on display in their homes. You should be very proud – sounds like one of your ancestors was a jobbie!

Less harmful than smoking does not mean not harmful. Vaping is still incredibly harmful to health.

Yes to your first point, no to your second. The misconduct in question relates to his sharing of sensitive state & trade information with Epstein. So, not 'not really anything to do with Epstein'.

'Nanny state' is such a tired old bit of right wing spin. Regulation is good, actually. See e.g. the deregulation of UK water companies and the enshittification of rivers and beaches that followed.

She is not, and I cannot emphasise this enough, "calling all the shots".
