  • Unfortunately you fail to understand the history. Stall man FSF etc is a relatively new organisation started in the 80s.

    Open source was a term long before that. And it was created by early Unix commercial dostros in the 60s. There were magazines etc dedicated to it as a mess with to allow commercial software to spread to multiple platforms. Long before stallmans free as in beer attitude.

    So no the other licences have a place in history and are open source even if you and I may not support their ideals.

    This is why words like libre and free software were formed to include our expanded ideals.



  • If any attempt to keep his error a secret. You may have a point.

    But he was very open about the error. An easy error that many make every year. And fixed by back dating the new licence.

    So no. A minister accepting he has the same requirements to address his errors as any other law abiding citizen. Really is not a negative.

    PS yes it’s been decades since I fished. But historically yes EA inspectors etc allowed expired licence owners found fishing to renew this way.


  • Simple lack of a regular supply is a food security issue.

    It has to be replaced and ensuring the alternative exist is an issue that takes land and effort.

    At a time when farms harvest have failed. Alternatives also have issues.

    Stop looking for reasons not to care.

    You clearly lack any understanding of food supply.

    It takes 4 to 6 months to grow a new crop. Not to mention free growing land is hardly available.

    Add to that a couple of years to expand current production facilities. No a huge source of current protine is in no way instantly replaceable with plant milk.

    Historically yes taste has negative affects on citizens health. Look at WW2 war history of trying to force replace products in the past. You cannot force folks to consume things they dislike health is lost historically. Even in a war setting it has issues.

    It takes huge time and investment and yes societies health is seriously effected by refusal to accept the replacement.

    Your attitude seems childish in many ways. Based entirely on your own perceived importance of a high Y used product. With no understating of what is involved in actually replacing such products. Or what happens to non milked cows if dairly farms fail.

    I have no issue with blaming those responsible. But yes any lose of a hugely used food source is a seriose issue.




  • If milk disappears. You will wake up to us old tea drinking zombies trying to eat brains.

    Just a warning.

    Tea with real milk is still one of the most popular drinks in the UK. Just not for youngsters.

    Milk alternatives are still low sales compared to real milk. Even as popular as they have grown.

    Edit: I’ll add. We actually import the majority of cheese from Ireland. We do make our own. But milk is the main product of UK diaries. As it is still cheaper to transport shorter distance then any secondary dairy products. Cheese butter etc. so supermarkets tend to stay as local as possible for such short storage projects.





  • Just to be clear sorry paint over flight surfaces is not something anyone flying can just ignore.

    It is very able to bring down an aircraft if the wronge surfaces are stuck due to such paint. And most modern aircraft surfaces do not allow huge movement spaces. (Excepting some limited early stealth models that needed to grow at speed. But materials tech has hugely changed since early 60 when early stealth aircraft leaked fuel at take off)

    Is it terrorism likely not. I at least cannot make an argument where tempory lack of 2 aircraft is a threat of terror.

    But it is damage to the aircraft that requires funding to correct before use.





  • As I am sure you know our primary source of food is not random allotments.

    It used to be. As recently S THE 1970s gardens and allotments were the source of the majority of grown food. Specifically friut and veg potatoes etc. these were historically a huge part of the UK diet.

    Supermarkets being the default is a very recent thing.

    It was even common in the past post war period for green grocers to buy goods from local allotments growers.

    Unfortunately the move to commercial production has done huge harm. In both product variety as allotment farmers tended to use more seed varieties then farmers do. But also in the use of steril crops.

    All done purely to increase profits while reducing the diversity allowing crops to survive extra. Conditions.

    Honestly if people cannot see how important such things are, they are not thinking fully,


  • It’s been and seriose issue for decades.

    In poor urban areas few have gardens. So to allow poor to continue to grow some of their own quality food. Post WW2 the allotment scheme was kept for such areas. As for many it was the only option.

    For anyone older we hears about right wing effects to sell off the land at least every 10 years or so. Waiting lints have increased to decades in many areas.

    The land is designed to be cheap to rent. But requires use as an allotment. So age is often how they change hands.
