Then whoever was overseeing said "rehab" should be arrested. Right?

The girl got life with a minimum of 22 years (and a comment saying it would "take a lot of work" for her to be released), The boy got life with a minimum of 20.

Would be kind of hilarious if they didn't use Chicago Style.

I do think though that a lot of people are going to be quite disappointed when the next government don't actually do very much.

Which is what the app on my phone is based on already. I manage it most days easily by walking from the bus station to work and back, which is ~1 mile. And that doesn't include the time I'm actually at work, because I can't wear my smart watch actually in the office.

This is going to carry on until we get a Phil Woolas situation and some election results get overturned.

Furthermore, what's even the point of open standards if you don't want them to be adopted.

Well, yes. There does seem to be a lot of "we want open standards but we don't want big companies to use them" among fediverse users.

The BBC followed this up with an article about similar stories, including the two different "soft toy mistaken for an escaped tiger" ones.

It does also remind me of the (in)famous "false leg mistaken for paedophile" incident.

FPTP isn't inherently undemocratic. It's not ideal, for any number of reasons, but it does have the advantage of a strong local link to representatives and (usually) leads to strong governments. I personally would prefer STV like Ireland has as a first choice, and as a second choice some form of MMP (like the Scottish Parliament, or New Zealand, or Germany)
