The SNP flourished in Scotland because the Scottish parliament has a proportional representation system (ironically chosen to keep the SNP out of power). Their success in the Scottish Parliament helped get them when contesting FPTP in Westminster.

Second place in the competition for this purchase was the SAAB Gripen which involved building/assembling in Canada. A much better return on investment, and provides some domestic capability.

It wasn’t scrapped because of Nintendo. Microsoft wanted Nintendo to fund their advertising campaign after Microsoft only committed five developers for 6 months on the game.

They are responding to crimes being committed. This helps, and minimises the scope of the law. But, it doesn’t solve root cause.

You already need to have a reason to carry around a large blade. Anything over pocket/eating size. Someone with a kebab knife would have to be selling, gifting, repairing or travelling from or to a kebab place.

With these swords, collecting them is a good reason that would make it difficult to prosecute someone carrying it as a weapon. Banning them means the person carrying them is without doubt a criminal, because they are now illegal.

Most people committing knife crimes don’t have a profession (that they would tell police about) that requires large blades.

They don’t get used as much. This law isn’t trying to stop everyone.

This is a a business operating to target children to deliver them content they know is inappropriate for them.

This behaviour is predatory. It shouldn’t be tolerated against children. The content is promoted for children, so it’s reasonable for a parent to assume the content is appropriate for them.

TV licence people were never capable of detecting TV like this. They just assumed everyone has a TV but not everyone pays for the licence. So would pursue people without a licence.

They’re main detection technology was looking in peoples windows and intimidation to gain access to their homes.

They’re supplying complex components so they’ll be involved in design of interfaces and supply software. It’s not inappropriate to say they’re producing it, even if it’s a relatively minor role.

It’s difficult to get anything to work on android tv when you don’t sign and don’t enable all the google shit. Even then the privacy statement is still bend over or your tv doesn’t boot past this screen.

The Apple TV much better.

It may be better than current android tv because the shield is so old and not been updated in so long.

Apple TV doesn’t have ads only what’s on when you have the app icon selected. Except inside apps that have ads.

It is reasonable to assume correlation in the context the causation occurs in. To imply TikTok isn’t influencing people is baseless ignorance or deliberately misleading.

People downloading TikTok are more likely to be impressionable children, TikTok then influences these children. Is a much more likely outcome, than what your suggesting.
