Apropos of the allergies question, we just spent 4 weeks touring Spain and France and were never asked once. Why are English hospitality businesses so obsessed with this?

1 month into the Iran war, Donald Trump said it would be over "in about two weeks." That was 182 days ago. That's why we partnered with VoteVets to build a calendar of every single time Trump said the war would be ending. Go to AboutTwoWeeks.com and see for yourself.

If they can retreat from “commitments” then they were never actually committed in the first place. Just more corporate BS. Which is what most Corporate Social Responsibility statements always were. Oh, and Starbucks : GFY.

I had the same POV about tie wearing. I stopped in about 1999, on the basis that if my not wearing one was seen as negative then I wouldn’t be able to work with the company anyway.

Facebook really doesn't want you to see the new documentary exposing Elon Musk Neither do TikTok or Google or the eX social media site. Since they won't accept paid advertising, let's do some free advertising. Go see Musk in theaters October 9 www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/dig...

YouTube, TikTok and Meta have all turned down the trailer for the Oct. 9 doc, citing “political” content. X won't even take Bleecker Street's calls. The distributor is appealing.

Worth remembering that MRPs don't pick up tactical voting decisions that happen during a campaign. So I'd guess this slightly underplays Lab/Lib and slightly overplays Con/Reform.

It would be analytically helpful and less irritating if more Brits looked at emerging frameworks between the EU and Canada from the perspective of Canadian strategic interests rather than whether they save the British from their delusional blunders. Ottawa is not doing this to save London..

Those laughing at Reform using the European Convention on Human Rights are a) absolutely right to - it is rather brazen hypocrisy b) also miss the point that fascists will use all the tools available to them to gain comparative advantage, before ensuring no one else can. That is the playbook.

Your regular reminder that almost everything Trump is getting away with is not because of presidential strength, but because of congressional weakness and judicial deference. The constitutional tools are already there to fix this, but those who can fix it are refusing to do so.

Always baffles me why landlords let units to this kind* of shops. Lessees seem (anecdotally) to often leave unpaid rent, business rates etc and don’t leave the units empty as required. Surely some screening would put a stop to this? *not the ones shown, of which I have no knowledge.

In part the result of creating wholly artificial “competitive” entities which were supposed to magically deliver service improvements rather than take strategic steps to protect & improve vital national infrastrucuture. Leaving aside the financial shenanigans this has been a disastrous experiment.
