I’m British and I think we should be subject to more conditions than when we were previously in the EU, if we were to rejoin. We had a great deal and we stupidly left rather than trying to work with the EU to resolve whatever perceived problems we had. So, yeah, obviously as a Brit I’d be happier for us to join on our old terms but realistically we screwed up and we should pay for that.

Ryanair are awful. I’d rather pay a bit more and not have to put up with their nonsense. They are the lowest of the low.

I had a survey from my local (Tory) MP. On it were “on a scale of zero to ten, how important are these national issues to you?” Alongside obviously important stuff like the NHS, was “Immigration”. I rated it Zero.

I’m pretty sure that eliminating DEI is against EU law, so I’m not sure how they are supposed to conform (and, of course, they shouldn’t). Maybe sue the US government for breach of contract and move on.

The issue is more with embedded systems which have been hard coded to European DST.

Most sane software will use the OS timezone and not care about DST. Most sane embedded systems will have some config for DST. I bet there are lots of cranky unsupported things which are horribly broken though.

I believe this was the original EU plan. Scrap it, countries decide which timezone they want to stick with.

Ah, why are the black squirrels not mapped? They are slowly taking over from the greys apparently.
