No target group is “banned”. This is a narrative that exists in peoples minds only.

What the users of this app really want, is somewhere they can write their complaints, ie vent their angst, without being cross examined.

Totally agree. I don’t understand why the author couldn’t just say that Drupal is for a different use case. Rather than label a whole framework, the people who build it, work with it, and use it, as basically “incorrect”.

> PHP gets you job offers customizing Drupal and Wordpress websites

I get that there's a lot of legacy PHP sites, that you could end up finding yourself working on. But there are still plenty of new Drupal and Wordpress sites being built.

You could also say that building a site with these tools as akin to "customising", as a lot of what you're doing is configuration rather than coding (but I would say sometimes JS + NPM is pretty similar). There are still opportunities to push yourself with coding, with some fairly complex Drupal sites being built.

That’s what contactless cards do now, there’s a PAYG cap. When you read about it doesn’t really sound that complex (not sure if it needed a clever bloke with an algorithm, but then what do I know?)

I guess because they couldn’t work out a way for you to purchase a travel card on your contactless card, so this was the only way to allow regular commuters to use their contactless.

Anyway it was the reason I switched over from oyster to contactless. I realised I was getting ripped off as I would always use PAYG and _sometimes_ went over the caps.

The rules were somewhat ambiguous, which allowed him to break them (on the "childcare exception").

But his account of his actions is so untruthful. It is obvious to most that being on a remote farm would be a nicer environment to isolate than a house in central London. This simply _must_ have been a factor in his decision. He did not even contemplate seeking childcare support at home, he stated this himself in his press conference, it hadn't even crossed his mind.

His trip was not safe, and should have been used as a last resort. Is that the impression you got? That he had exhausted all other options?

If you had, then I would say you are even more political motivated than those you are saying are looking to give him the "boot".

Even if it wasn't a problem (which it was, at the time he did it). It's his covering up of his actions + colleagues backing him up, which is the real issue here.

He's so blatantly lying about the "eye sight test", it shows a total lack of respect for the public and his role as part of the UK government. They should be, if anything, following the rules more than anyone else in order to set an example.

Ocado also have the “eco delivery” feature, where you can pick a delivery slot when (I presume) the driver will be making a similar delivery nearby.

It’s not a huge thing, but shows they are doing something (either that or they understand their middle-class market).

Amazon pretty much sets the standard for this. They're the biggest ecommerce home delivery company, and yet have absolutely nothing in the way of reducing waste, and give the customer no option or control to do so. The _only_ thing they do is allow you to group deliveries (in case you want everything at once) which has the side-effect of reducing carbon emissions by the delivery van.

And don't even get me started about Prime.

Yeah looking at her Google timeline maps that she posted, when she went to the "south bank" she actually walked around Waterloo station. A walk along the actual south bank (of the river) I would say should be a must for any tourist in London. Great view of the Thames, no cars, interesting architecture, and plenty of galleries and other cultural highlights. In particular the Tate modern.

She got a train from Manchester to London. I'm surprised that the price of this ticket wasn't mentioned (when the £4.90 one in London was). Manchester to London can typically cost anywhere between £40 to £90.

Isn't the article's main concern the conflict of interest when polling companies release both public and private polls?

They have an incentive to release inaccurate results to the public in order to benefit their private clients even further.
