Britain's Chernobyl Disaster
#UKgov lied about #Sellafield #nuclear accident in 1957 blaming workers instead of systemic failure.
They lied then, they lie now. The #EconomicBreakdown is systemic #Capitalism = eating itself.

@openrightsgroup The #ukgov have never implemented an IT system that worked. Possibly, colossus at Bletchley Park, but that was ultra top secret and designed by one bloke in his shed.

UK to Gradually Switch to Right-Side Driving by 2026Government announces phased transition to align with global standards
In a landmark decision, the UK government has officially confirmed that the country will transition from left-side to right-side driving by 2026. The Department for Transport (DfT) announced the change early this morning, citing alignment with international road safety standards and the potential to boost trade and tourism.
Phased Implementation Plan
According to Transport Secretary Daniel Whitehall, the transition will take place in carefully planned phases to minimize disruption.
Phase 1 (2025) – Lorries and buses will begin using the right side of the road on all motorways and major A-roads.
Phase 2 (Early 2026) – Taxis and private hire vehicles in major cities will switch.
Phase 3 (Mid-2026) – Personal vehicles and motorcycles will fully transition nationwide.
The switch will be accompanied by major infrastructure upgrades, including new road markings, revised signage, and public awareness campaigns. "We recognize this is a significant cultural shift, but the benefits outweigh the challenges," Whitehall said.

Stupid letter from #HMRC
"We want to confirm that our records show the correct surname, last name or family name for R"
But it doesn't actually say what their records show for R's surname, last name or family name, it just shows R's full name
How many hand written forms are they receiving are simply parents clarifying their child's name, not correcting it?

#UKgov is collaborating with #Israel committing #genocide whilst censoring the BBC and other media, stifling #FreedomOfSpeech and #FreedomOfPress which is what #fascism looks like.

The Companies House find-a-company website has been largely broken for the last 2 days, returning varioous errors like 502 Bad Gateway... occasionally you get content but it's pretty much unusable.
Why is the UK government going after individual apps with its request for access to messages? Not to give anyone ideas, but it should pursue the various software keyboard app vendors instead. These apps are in a position to capture everything you type into any app.

Ban Fossil Fuel Ads & Sponsorships
For too long fossil fuel companies have had the ability to spend largely unlimited £££ on advertising and sponsorships, greenwashing their dirty reputations to keep drilling for oil and gas in the face of climate collapse.
I think it’s time we did something about it
So please, sign the petition to ban fossil fuel ads.
Chris Packham.

The UK is falling significantly behind on its 2022 Cyber Security Strategy to harden important systems against cyberattacks by 2025.
Perfect depiction of the last government and now this new government's idiotic position. #eu #arrogant #ukgov c/o Martin Rowson @theguardian.com
