You've convinced me. That does sound like a UK Government ideal.
Next you'll be trying to tell me the Saudis might not have UK ideals at heart!
Hopefully this should be blocked to prevent a hostile foreign state from owning and controlling core infrastructure, on the grounds of national security. 🤞
What's that? A flying pig?
The UK has chronic issues with energy prices (I seem to remember seeing the highest in Europe?), but we don’t see energy companies undercutting one another, so it’s hard to argue that they are actually in competition.
I may misunderstand the situation, so please correct me, but isn't the issue due to the separation of the energy production from the home suppliers?
The rules as I understand them are that there is a "most favoured nation" rule, so energy production from Octopus (for example) has to go onto the national grid where they are paid for their production, because that's how you get electricity into homes (unless you want to build our own electricity "alt-net"). Octopus the consumer sales then have to buy the electricity at the wholesale rates which they then sell to you.
Why you can't get a credit on your account for the excess Octopus are paid for their cheap wind instead of expensive gas, I don't know but I can only assume its because they aren't actually the same company. What it also means is that we will never have cheap electricity until we are 100% moved off any and all expensive electricity sources.
What I'm disappointed in as well is that councils can't get involved with turbines. Any monies generated could be put towards everyone's council tax, it may help get past NIMBYs if they know they are getting a tax break because of it and it improves energy independence.
This is precisely it.
A: several businesses competing to provide the service
This is really the main argument, if two companies supply a widget then they will both keep undercutting each other to gain custom. Hopefully that will come from identified efficiency gains through better production methods or removal of middle management who drain the budget without providing value.
However what is more likely to happen is that quality will decrease, think bulking out chocolate with palm oil, which then depends on the informed customers part to avoid reduced quality and support those that identify real cost savings. But that is unlikely to happen here as everyone jams crappy palm oil in their products and we can't easily reward those that provide a proper chocolate.
You can see the support for this on the c/buybritish
and c/buyeuropean
groups but it requires real effort, an effort that most people don't have the time for.
Are you seriously trying to say that AV is no better than FPTP?

Alternative voting is a form of ranked voting. To claim that it's harder for independents to get elected is either completely false or the reform website does a bad job of explaining it. It would make it easier for independents to get elected because people can put their names down without throwing away their vote.
That PR site is NOT what is actually being sued.
The actual suit complains that you can't resell keys for less.
Yes, I've always found jobs via linked in.
Though, I have been most successful through having recruiters reaching out to me directly rather than applying for jobs. Applying directly to companies is a recipe for being ignored.
Yes, we know.
And you are wrong.
This is completely incorrect.
The rule is that
You cannot generate Steam codes and sell them on alternative storefronts for less than you would sell them for on Steam for a similar length of time.
There is absolutely no rule saying that you cannot sell your game on alternative store fronts for less. There isn't even a rule saying that you can't sell Steam keys on alternative store fronts for less than you are currently selling them of Steam. Just not always selling Steam keys on alternative store fronts without at least sometimes selling them for that price on Steam.
Blind Maggot are from Newbury, who use Peta certified organic cotton, and collabote with local artists to make their designs.
Not sure which is worse.
