Simon Poole @simonp-ontour.bsky.social · 22/06/2026This is a useful clarification thanks. I had missed this. But... couldn't he have done both? I.e. scrapped the cap immediately *and* launched the commission? I think people hated that he was so slow to take action on things that were overwhelmingly disliked. 100
Simon Poole @simonp-ontour.bsky.social · 28/10/2025It does, kind of. Hit Search, followed by Live Events, and then scroll down to find the Conerts Near You playlist. (on android at least). The problem is their definition of "near" which seems to be a 100 mile radius! 100

It's causing resentment against the minimum wage that must be having a political effect 100
Simon Poole @simonp-ontour.bsky.social · 24/06/2025Are you sure this isn't just telling us that the same number of points clusters tighter on small targets than on large targets? 😉 "I'd love to go to America" vs "I'd love to go to Japan". 100
Simon Poole @simonp-ontour.bsky.social · 23/04/2025Please don't open a Santander savings account. They have a terrible ethical and environmental record. Where you put your money matters. 010
