At least they are reasonable and not ex-stream.
Keep them coming, don't want your thoughts to run dry, or worse still, you to have a drought of ideas. In this weather, keep hydrated so you can sprinkle ideas on us.
I will, there's a pool of them.
Don't dam them up!

From my understanding we don't. Of course, if you can show me where we do I'd be delighted! :)

Pleased to see you're not all washed up or wrung out. You certainly dived right in.

I can't, and you know I can't, as the UK govt have simply stated that they believe they are already compliant. So if they're already compliant, why not implement the 6th MLD?

Oh come on! Even I know the answer to that one: if it's EU regs or leg, the UK must be, and be seen to be, taking back control and, ideally, introducing less restrictive rules. Or summat.
