Does that assume that you're able to perfectly time the investment with the market bottom?

What relevance does your quote have here? The area in question has no civilians to speak of.

Why would there be a privacy-respecting free option? The content is not free to produce.

I don’t believe the courts would rule such a loan to be a disposal given the trend towards judicial activism in the UK.

I think a loan of the Parthenon Sculptures within the next few years is more likely than you think.

Both Kier Starmer and George Osborne are keen for a deal, and the majority of the British public are in favour of the sculpture’s return.

It would be a temporary loan on paper, but everyone involved understands that they would never return to the UK.

Both. I have to look at a GUI to use it.

It’s probably excluded because TFL don’t classify it as an Underground line. Similarly, hovering over the DLR will produce a tooltip but the line is excluded.

> I believe in reality a not guilty verdict is, we didn't have the evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt this person committed the crime.

That’s a description of the Scottish “not proven” verdict, not a “not guilty” verdict.

I don’t see King’s Road as being a good example. King’s Road has a lot of traffic and the pedestrian experience is very poor.

>Let's not criticise Japanese law without acknowledging that US law is also fucked up.

This doesn’t need done at all. This is just whataboutism. This story does not involve the USA and the discussion about other countries does not need to be derailed every time with discussion about and comparison to the USA.

That’s just not true. The violent crime rate in Russia is many times that of any Western European country, and their intentional homicide rate is slightly higher than America’s. In terms of murder rate Belarus sits much closer to Western Europe than America, but it still sits above Western Europe.

> But it’s still investing in oil companies and giving them more money.

Buying shares on the market from third parties does not give the company more money.

My observation has been that the comments on high engagement TikTok posts are generally quite pleasant, whereas the comments on high engagement Instagram posts feel like a KKK meeting.

It’s a flawed democracy, but it’s on a consistent upward trajectory.

>consumer rights only kicks in when you "take ownership" of something

No they don’t. Consumer rights law in the UK applies to services too.
