> Could have been a great opportunity to try to actually improve things rather than adding loopholes for the benefit of special interests.
But the kind of people who want the policy that Brexit is - i.e. xenophobic nationalists - are not the kind of people you'd want to take such an opportunity.
Membership of the EU was a great opportunity. Brexit is an opportunity for fascists.
Good news, Mussolini is dead so there aren't fascists anymore! They entire ethos was strictly and solely related to that specific time and place and is now a historical curiosity only!
Again, I asked how the wish of 1/2 of your countrymen to leave the EU relates to 'fascism'. Yes, I was slightly in jest because there are many reasons why one might be sceptical of the EU. One could even compare the EU to pan-European movements of the 1940s like Fascism, but that wouldn't be productive.
Surely there are, say, British, European or American FIFA representatives who can be tried for taking bribes, or for being part of an organisation which takes bribes? Why are those people immune? They're complicit.
For better or worse, it's one country, one vote for a lot of this stuff. You can bribe the entire Caribbean for the cost of bribing France (Qatar did both).
Thanks for answering Qs. Does this compete directly with Tekton ( https://tekton.dev/ ), or do you imagine a way the two could interoperate? Why choose Dagger over Tekton to power pipelines?
You can (and people do) run Dagger on top of Tekton, in the same way that you might run a Makefile or shell script on top of Tekton. The benefit is that you are less tied to a particular runtime environment. The same Dagger pipeline can run on Tekton, Jenkins, or your laptop. This makes local debugging and testing in particular much easier.
The upfront cost could remain the same while externalities like road deaths, insurance, and even pollution (via e.g. more efficient braking / speeds) goes down.
It sucks, but most consumers are rational actors that don't care about those externalized costs (hence why we have tragedy of the commons). It's especially so for the price-sensitive demographics that GP was describing above, who care about their direct cost, which likely won't change for a while.
If you click on the latest document, "accessible" version, you'll find paragraphs such as the following:
Changes to the Introduction
Intro1. In paragraph 6.2, after the definition of “English language course”, insert:
“ “EU national” in Appendix T5 (Temporary Worker) International
Agreement Worker means a person who is a national of: Austria, Belgium,
Bulgaria, Croatia, Republic of Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia,
Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania,
Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia,
Slovenia, Spain, or Sweden; and who is not also a British citizen.”.
Changes to Part 7
7.1. For the second paragraph 276BB1(vi)(d), substitute:
“(e) the Ministry of Defence, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, the
Department for International Development or the Foreign, Commonwealth
and Development Office has determined should qualify for relocation under
the ex-gratia redundancy / resignation package, including confirmation that
they served ‘on frontline duties outside the wire in Helmand’.”.
Anyone interpreting this law (i.e. lawyers) does not have the "latest" version to hand; they have to stack successive changes.
There are other complications, which I can't recall, but I dearly wish someone would do this for UK law.
