That's the point though. We want x% of new cars on the road to be zero emissions. No point in doing this shit if the customer can circumvent it.

I couldn't remember the exact offense, but yes... That's what I meant.

No, because they are using them as a shield to commit atrocities.

How is Ukraine "their own soil"?

Isn't discussing national issues with a foreign leader, when you're not the serving president and not in any other diplomatic role, frowned upon? Especially a foreign leader engaged with hostilities against an ally.

As a long term LibDem voter, mainly because of PR, this is one of the few issues I disagree on.

Another elected house isn't desirable and I'm generally fine with it being a house full of experienced politicians and subject matter experts. I'd like to reform the appointment process to avoid the stuffing we've seen from Johnson and Truss. The Lords Spiritual should be ended as a group. I have no problem with community leaders being appointed, which may include religious leaders, but not as a fixed role in the house.

I see all of that as fairly minor reform. Not rip it up and start again.

Having binary blobs linked into your kernel is a maintainability nightmare. You're allowing a third party to link their buggy drivers into the heart of your platform. It breaks any security model you have, and brings with a bunch of bugs that are impossible to debug.

Nvidia were the worst offender and it culminated in this:
