LDRS articles are made free to everyone in the scheme (including the BBC), but because the content is written primarily for their home news org the articles that end up being published by the BBC need to be modified to comply with the BBC's editorial guidelines and for style reasons.

Nah, never going to happen. There's history between Binface and the Loonies... and they're a lot more right-wing than people often think they are

One can stand for election using any name that one is "commonly known by".

Members of Parliament aren't allowed to address each other by name in the Commons chamber.

All debate must be addressed to the Speaker (or Deputy Speaker if one of them are chairing the debate).

References to other members are made in the form of "the X member for Y constituency", where X is:

- "honourable" (the default);

- "right honourable" if they are sworn of the Privy Council (i.e. they've been a minister in the past);

- "learned and honourable member" (a qualified lawyer); or

- "gallant and honourable member" (somebody who has served in the armed forces).

H'Angus the Monkey[0] won the Hartlepool mayoral election in 2002 and the man in the costume served three terms before the mayoralty was abolished in 2013.

The GDPR applies to the personal data of anyone physically in the EU, to the extent that the data are processed[0] while they are in the EU.

It also applies to the personal data of anybody anywhere in the world if the data controllers are based in the EU.

The reason why it's different to US sanctions/export controls is that the GDPR doesn't say you can't work with certain people in certain circumstances because of who they are in order to punish those people for whatever reason. It's fundamentally to protect the data subjects.

All of our card transactions are with a debit card.

I've never needed instant-access debt so it's not really an attractive proposition. Perhaps the added consumer protection rules could be worth it, but it's not been an issue to date.

In British English "judgment" without the 'e' is generally only used for talking about judicial rulings, whereas most other uses of the word contain the 'e'.

The police aren't allowed to join a union

Prospect is my union (although I'm a member of a BECTU branch rather than the Tech Workers branch as I work in the broadcasting industry) and it's well worth the dues I pay.

I had never even heard of the former until now so I was quite confused until I realised it was an American fintech firm. Now it makes much more sense!

No. We're not. Perhaps we should be angry at both, but we definitely should be angry at you.

Spam is bad. If your business can't survive without sending spam, your business shouldn't survive.
