Are there btw any concrete plans about these tech project or is it just start from point zero and let's do something? I have to admit that i have no idea how much tech companies and it as industry exist in UK these days. Just interested what some huge tech company will start to do or is it just planning in progress? It's also quite competitive industry with few huge and loads of smaller companies who are doing quite good products as possible with current technology, so just thinking what is the area where that huge tech project is going to make its market share? If there are already some great companies with good business plans and products, excuse me my lack of knowledge, just can't get any to my head right away.
Just meant that if there are no many good projects already or in pipeline, it's not really easy just decide to start to do something and compete with these giant companies who have been in business for very long time. Building better tech products and make people to change their Apples, Samsungs etc... to them is not really easy, investing $1tn doesn't yet give you anything.
I dunno about Brexit, but you've just cost me £36......Rumours abound that it's a vehicle for Cummings and his pals to get very rich. (You only need to look at how the various health contracts have been issued during Covid to see which way the wind is blowing on that one.)
Also, as noted above, without data sharing agreements and suchlike (which the EU are hardly going to be falling over themselves to give us now, since we've proven ourselves to be completely untrustworthy), it's basically dead in the water anyway.

Yes it's definitely the EU's fault, those tricky tricksters.
Just so we're clear, by using some form of advanced mind control they manged to make Johnson do the following with regards to the WA.
1) Negotiate it
2) Agree to it
3) Call it 'oven-ready'
4) Campaign for a general election on the basis of it
5) Win an election mandate off the back of it
6) Transposed it into law on a three-line whip
None of this is just ever the Leavers fault is it? Apparently there's a world where they just don't have to own ANY of this, and it's all down to the dastardly EU - it's cognitive dissonance on a biblical scale.
I agree re Johnson, no idea what was going through his mind entirely, slot5 explained it a few posts back but to me it still doesn't make full sense, I would like to see several MP's ask him on this very point, boris was bigging the deal up as well, so that was blatant bs to the public.
I save my newspaper for the very same purpose.You'll have to let us know what you think of it
There are actually a lot of words per issue and a lot of stuff to consume. Not to put too fine a point on it, I read it when I'm sat on the bog and between Private Eye (bi-weekly) and my subscriptions to Custom PC and PC Pro (both monthly), I can pretty much always have something to read when I'm having a shit.
Private Eye are entirely equal opportunities when it comes to ripping things to pieces, although in terms of politics the Tories perhaps get the brunt of it at the moment as they're in power. During the Blair years Private Eye routinely went for the jugular of what was going on in government.
Can you find an MP who campaigned for brexit that is against this bill?
Some sensible points by Daniel Hannan, and thank goodness boris has set a deadline for middle of oct, stop this rigmarole dragging on for any longer:
A devastating piece from Jonathan Lis.
There is a certain weapons-grade irony in that the person instigating all this chaos is, of course, the unelected bureaucrat Dominic Cummings. By all accounts he got bored of Brexit some time ago and moved onto nurturing his Dr Evil style techno-shenanigans, and only showed an interest again when he realised that the State Aid situation would screw him over on handing out lucrative contracts to his chums and companies that he has some sort of personal involvement with. (i.e. He wants to be able to throw all the money around in secret and without any public accountability, which wouldn't be allowed under the current State Aid provisions.)

The final aggrieved party is the one discussed the least: the British electorate. This deal formed the key plank of the Conservative Party’s election platform last December and won them an 80-seat majority. You might, indeed, term it the “will of the people.” Certainly, it was the means to “get Brexit done” and sold as “oven-ready.” The bakers knew it was toxically inedible but served it up to voters anyway. Now they will break the law rather than admit the truth.
Nobody forced this deal upon the Brexiters: not Theresa May, not Remainers, and not Brussels. Johnson’s government negotiated it, praised it, signed it and now owns it. The intrusion of reality, and desperate need to conceal it, is the story of Brexit. But the government’s newest and deepest breach of trust betrays something even more damaging. It is not just that the government has been lying to people with impunity for the last year, and for the three years before that. It is not even that people are being newly criminalised for gathering in parks at the same moment the government breaks any law it chooses. This is now a rogue government. It has lost its legitimacy. It no longer acknowledges limits or restraint. It will do whatever it likes, to whomever it likes, and believes nothing can stop it.
This is literally, patently, and completely untrue. There is no promise of a trade deal in the WA, there never was, the only person who promised one was Boris Johnson when he lied his arse off about the thing to win an election.
I can understand Brexiteers such as Hannan wishing to attempt to rewrite history, since what is happening now is so far removed from what was promised - but a lie is still a lie.
