None of them have at all tried to reign it in or made any promises about safety. In fact, they are fighting for less regulation.

What’s the movie ‘don’t look up’. Yep.

What's not in doubt for me is regulation needs to be tighter, much tighter.....

Governments and regulatory authorities are looking weak as in this respect.

Don't worry. The EU will come in with regulations that'll ultimately harm the population more than the companies.

Unfortunately that's the EU for you....Well-intentioned rules that end up creating compliance burdens big companies can absorb while smaller players and consumers get squeezed.
 

One of the dumbest proposals I've ever seen. It's a pasttime for people to stand and mingle and maximises revenue.

Go the other way. Being seated, waiting ages for some server to turn up, trying to get their attention to pay, tip or service charge expected. Fuck off.

Table service for drinking only works if there is adequate and competent staffing.

Yep....One of my favourite boozers in London is the French House in Soho, bang smack in the middle of joyless Westminster Council's jurisdiction.....

There is truly nothing quite like it. Squeezing into that legendary little spot on Dean Street W1, beer in hand, shoulder-to-shoulder with a mix of the writers, artists, and locals who frequent it spilling out onto the pavement.

Of course the French House has always lived by its own rules from banning mobile phones to sticking fiercely to half pints and standing room only is a massive part of that chaotic, brilliant charm.

It’s proper London pub culture at its finest....

And for the French House read numerous other similar public houses in Soho and the wider City of Westminster borough....

Absolute fucken nanny state killjoys!!

Both candidates essentially received protest votes. The turnout was also poor. The UK needs to change to compulsory voting and preferential. First past the post sucks.

And with a high likelihood of eventual extradition from the US to the UK soon to be inmates. 😋

Tates hired supercars so as to appear ‘uber-wealthy’

Andrew Tate and his brother hired supercars to create an “uber-wealthy” façade, their lawyers have told a US court in a hearing about their potential extradition to Britain.

The social media influencers portrayed themselves as far wealthier than they were because their “business model depends on online attention”, lawyers for the brothers said in written submissions to a Florida court.

Officials at the Crown Prosecution Service in the UK announced last month that they would apply to the US government for an extradition order in connection with alleged sexual offences.

After the pair’s arrest in Miami last month, the British authorities confirmed they were seeking extradition in relation to Andrew Tate, 39, who has been charged with seven counts of rape, three counts of arranging or facilitating trafficking for sexual exploitation, three counts of assault occasioning actual bodily harm and 19 charges relating to indecent images of a child and extreme pornography.

Tristan Tate, 38, has been charged with one count of sexual assault, two counts of rape and three counts of arranging or facilitating trafficking for sexual exploitation.

Both brothers have dual UK-US citizenship and have denied wrongdoing.

In recent submissions to the court of the southern district of Florida, lawyers from four firms representing the brothers described their business model as dependent on “online attention”.

The remarks came in a hearing assessing a bail application from the brothers, in which their legal team attempted to demonstrate that the Tates were not wealthy and would not therefore be a flight risk.

According to the submissions, “the outrageousness of the posts by them and about them is the point ... The more hyperbolic and outlandish the post, the more likely it will generate views and likes, which in turn generates income.

In short, they are playing a role.”

Therefore, the legal team said, images of luxury yachts, supercars and expensive watches posted by the Tate brothers should not be taken as evidence of their wealth.

“A promotional video filmed aboard a yacht is not evidence of title to the yacht,” they gave as an example, adding that “the ‘superyacht’ does not belong to the Tates. They received payment to promote the ship on social media.”

The brothers’ lawyers went on to argue that “the Tates are engaged in several businesses ‘teaching’ men how to earn money” and that therefore it was “in their interest to portray themselves on social media as uberwealthy”.

In another example, the lawyers noted that several rented supercars had featured in Tristan Tate’s videos, including a £1.5 million Aston Martin and two Bugattis, valued at £3.7 million and £5 million each.

Andrew Tate is being sued in England by four women in civil law allegations of sexual violence. Lawyers for him have said he denies wrongdoing.

Three of the women bringing the claims reported allegations of rape and sexual assault against Tate to Hertfordshire police in 2014 and 2015. The case concluded in 2019 without charges. The civil trial was adjourned in May after the force said it would reinvestigate the alleged offences.

In July, Malcolm McHaffie, a senior CPS official, said the decision to charge the Tate brothers “followed receipt of a further file of evidence from Bedfordshire police and bring the total number of alleged victims in this case to seven”.

Matt Jury of McCue Jury & Partners, which represents four of the British alleged victims of Andrew Tate, said at the time that the influencer was “facing the real prospect of extradition to the UK after years of public campaigning by the four British women I represent”.

The Tate brothers are also facing legal proceedings in Romania. They were set to be extradited to the UK once those proceedings had concluded but Bedfordshire police secured European arrest warrants for the pair in 2024.

Does it count as rape if they do it to each other?

The guidance was to use the term with "attribution". A fact conveniently ignored in the article.
Spot the difference -

Protesters in the mid-west are terrorists vs
Trump says "protesters in the midwest are terrorists"

Yesterday's events were a terrorist attack vs
Security agencies have confirmed that yesterday's explosions were terrorist attacks.

The outrage on this is confected and dishonest, not to mention ironic coming from where it comes from.
These standards are around for good reasons. Terms like terrorist can be used very loosely for political purposes. Security agencies have very specific and nuanced definitions of terrorism and generally speaking, credible journalists prefer to attribute politically loaded language to its source or to official definitions to avoid a perception of bias. It's an attempt to guard against the type of disgraceful politicised coverage we saw here in Australia around the Hamas attacks/Israeli occupation/Bondi shootings.

It's not unusual, or a new CBC standard or specifically applied only to 9/11 although that was the example used in the editorial standard.

Because some people read headlines without reading the entire article and then get hysterical on the basis of a misunderstanding.
