IIRC correctly this was also true of UKIP c.2015. There’s a portion of the electorate i call “Please let me go Mr Pollster, I want to carry on with my shopping” Man

Hijacker: Everyone stop talking. I am armed and I am taking control of this plane. Guy from the Netherlands: Wow, in Netherlands we just purchase a plane if we want one. But typically we will bike somewhere Guy who has been to Japan once: In Japan planes are rarely hijacked. It's a cultural taboo

The European Commission’s internal processes for agreeing documents ate cumbersome and lengthy. None of them, apparently, prevents a piece of legislative guidance being published *in the Official Journal* with a fairly obvious typo in the title eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/C/2026/4...

Communication from the Commission – Guidance on Article 26 of Regulation (EU) 2024/1735 on establishing a framework of measures for strengthening Europe’s net-zero zero technology manufacturing ecosystem and amending Regulation (EU) 2018/1724
