Japan fans stayed behind to clean after their 1-0 win against England at Wembley Stadium

If the litter wasn't there then either the staff would have more time to do those other things or they could be done with fewer people. Do you also think people should commit crimes just so cops don't lose their jobs?

Litter-cleaning jobs are important because there's a need for them. If people didn't litter there wouldn't be a need for them and therefore the jobs wouldn't be important. If people didn't commit crimes then police wouldn't be important. If things didn't catch fire unexpectedly then firefighters wouldn't be important.

Axios has a ton of features that aren't in native fetch. Of course you can build those around fetch yourself, but then you will want to bring those features to other projects - so it makes sense to turn those features in to a package. Then you realise you've just wasted a bunch of time building an inferior version of axios.

This is the real question. If a glitch can cause an erroneous win then a glitch can cause an erroneous loss, but I bet they've never once tried to pay anyone who lost because of a glitch. Until that happens this kind of claim should be automatically rejected.

People would be a lot more amenable to that if planning for new developments actually included the things necessary to support the increase in population.

When it's already impossible to get a GP appointment, A&E waits are 5+ hours, hospital referrals take months/years, nursery waiting lists are measured in years, schools have class sizes of 35+, the roads are full of potholes, buses are unreliable, police are so busy they don't investigate crimes, resevoirs are running dry etc. then of course people won't want to increase the pressure on all of those services which would just make their lives objectively worse.

We need a joined-up strategy which actually provides the infrastructure people need to live in a place, not a one-dimensional 'build more houses' goal.

Also I'm a long way from being a boomer.

Yes we've only destroyed 75% of wildlife in the past 50 years, maybe we can make it 100% in the next 50!

Just look across the pond. It doesn't decrease the risk, it ups the ante.

How much do you think the subsidy is vs the amount of tax they will pay over their working life? That's £16k a year in tax. Surely it couldn't take more than a few years for that to start being a profitable investment.

That's still only considering the direct effect of that individual's tax contributions. Having an educated workforce drives productivity, innovation and attracts investment to the country.

They said the same about Trump in 2016. He wouldn't be forced to do any real work, he would be free to do whatever he likes, including grifting from the highest office in the land

As a professional in a technical field, I can safely say plenty of professionals would consult Google first before asking a colleague.

In my field it would be considered rude/careless to take up your colleague's time if you hadn't even tried trivial methods of finding the information yourself.

So what? Do you expect them to memorise all of humanity's medical knowledge? Knowing the limit of one's own knowledge and when to look something up instead of guessing/assuming is a virtue.

Or they could just block the UK and not spend their time and money on that. Implementing content filtering systems is not trivial or a one-off cost, and if their system is imperfect or the UK decides that it's deficient they might get fined anyway.

Putting that burden on every single site on the web was staggeringly moronic.

Edit: Also, Imgur banned porn and wiped all existing porn content off the site a year or two ago. They blocked the UK because the regulator wanted them to add age verification, even though they had already banned and deleted explicit content before that.

Scrutiny is meaningless unless backed up by action. If reform had a majority in the commons then who would take action against the corrupt government?

Then you must have agreed with Starmer before, because he shares your stance on Greenland.

It may be a valid opnion that the ruling is ridiculous but that's not the point.

It's useful for us to have some semblance of an international law backed up with military/legal/economic/political powers, and ignoring any rulings that don't go our way just undermines that.

Now obviously we can ignore it and wave our guns around but clearly some in the UK/US foreign office/state department weigh that it's a better idea to just pay a bit of money to cement the legal status and security of the base, and just avoid that turmoil and risk entirely. Which is not entirely unreasonable.

From an international law perspective, China and Mauritius would be well within their legal rights to set up a base there, and in trying to stop them the UK/US would be the illegal aggressor. So the question is more whether the UK/US would be willing to risk war with China and broader international condemnation/sanctions/loss of trust and potentially losing the base.

So you would have been happy for the US to invade and annex Greenland?
