You're going to want to be in the passing lane more than 5s before you pass another vehicle, doubly so at 270.

It does seem to be debatable in one case - specifically Shamima Begum, at the time she was stripped of citizenship she was apparently entitled to Bangladesh citizenship through her parents (hence why the home secretary felt it was possible) however Bangladesh have said she was never actually a citizen, she's never been to Bangladesh and they have no intention of giving her Bangladesh citizenship. The courts of appeal in the UK have sided with the former home secretary, however she does appear to be effectively stateless.

In general though, it is understood that a person's citizenship in the UK cannot be stripped unless they are dual citizens.

That post definitely has got a strong "not all preppers" vibe to it.

Ah, just at the turn of the century.

Well that's fairly interesting

Am I going clockwise or anticlockwise round the track?

It's getting so convoluted at this point just knowing clockwise/anticlockwise is infinitely easier.

It doesn't even bloody work, lefty tighty righty loosy is every bit as valid if the spanner is at the bottom.

Locost 7 is a generic name for replica Lotus/Caterham 7 type cars that are built by people in garages, there's no centralised body beyond "The Book" the original design came from. As far as I'm aware the book's author has defended the design in court as being too generic to be protectable (which presumably precludes their design being used as a basis to prosecute anyone building something similar).

Most of the cars are built custom to the donor vehicle, taking the original design as a basis, there's 100s of variations online with drawings - none of them are going to be protectable and no-one's really tried in the 30 odd years since the book came out. No-one's published anything with a libre license, I'm not sure if there'd be any point.

Where are the EFF fighting this?

There are definitely open source-ish options. Google locost 7

As much as I'd advocate for a professional rectal woodwind orchestra, I can't help but feel we wouldn't have invented the instruments in the first place.
