Some used to, but not since the UK finally left, surely? Got any links, quotes? I'd like to see who's being mad.

Sure but that doesn't mean every comment is only about DB.

they just want their old sweet thatcher deal back

Is anyone actually saying that? I think everyone knows the UK has fallen out the trapdoor and would probably need to enter as a regular member without the past special conditions.

Maybe, but voters get used to normal elections where we do have some protections against outright lies, as the likes of Phil Woolas have discovered, and against elected politicians being paid mouthpieces, as Neil Hamilton and now Nathan Gill have found. We'll never know why Piggy Cameron did not include better protection against lying in the referendum laws.

https://thenerve.news/ has also been reporting on this a lot, and getting threats from ReformUK's lawyers about it.

Remember that British media had always portrait Europe negatively.

By "British" media, are you including the newspapers owned by foreign influences like Rupert Murdoch and Evgeny Lebvedev and non-doms like Viscount Rothermere, and the TV channels owned by foreign chains like Paramount (5), Comcast (Sky) and Liberty Global (itv)?

Much big British media isn't actually very British and sometimes doesn't particularly seem to have our country's interests at heart, especially when facing something like the EU that is actually big enough to start trying to regulate international media messes, instead of relying on a few media companies to help get or stay elected.

So add some connection time. And not everywhere is as bad as DB.

Should have said you're in Germany!

So the claim is it's easier to Claudge a whole new app than to make a personal fork of one that works? Sounds unlikely.

That's odd. What's your problem with moving between trains?

[–] mjr 3 points 3 months ago

I spotted a GB rail company doing something similar, doing a really unhelpful cancellation to one busy train mid-journey and replacement with an unplanned extra service ten minutes later, all so that a delayed earlier train could get ahead of it and try to avoid falling an hour behind schedule and triggering a higher rate of refunds for its passengers! Meanwhile, the cancelled train passengers all end up ten minutes late which causes no refunds unless they miss a transfer.
