The FCA took sixteen years to fine Barclays, but made the UK uninvestable for most Bitcoin companies in a nanosecond.

British utility Octopus CEO says the U.K. spent yesterday ~£20 million paying wind generators not to produce (curtailment was needed due to high wind during a winter storm)

The thing that baffles me is that good and serious people have seen versions of what happened tonight in the US for eight years and are still surprised that people don’t see the world as they do. 1) Voters think “the economy” is “can I afford to live” NOT “we are doing better…

Personally, I hate the idea of another Trump victory. BUT the BBC's obligation to be impartial extends to USA too. Yet too much of the BBC's US presidential campaign coverage is lazy - just a Harris love-fest. Most of their Democrat voices aren't being challenged.
