The BBC gave up being a serious public broadcaster many years ago. It was right to jettison Lord Reith's 'moralism' in the 1960's, but to abandon his fundamental vision of public broadcasting in the Third Millennium has proved an utter disaster. Just like Brexit!

The BBC cutting Late Junction is a blow for experimental music.

Watch @Nigel_Farage leave another #Brexit debate after he himself spoke (and recorded his YouTube video). This so-called leader of the Brexiteers never attends a full debate, never comes up with solutions and puts the future of ordinary citizens at risk #fail https://t.co/twMbemCpmy

Unilaterally revoke A50 or request a delay to enable a Second Referendum to take place. The only serious, 'grown-up' options now.

David Davis told #Marr today that he is opposed to a #PeoplesVote giving the people the final say on #Brexit. He needs reminding of this:
“If a democracy cannot change its mind, it ceases to be a democracy”

The entire Finnish government have just resigned because they failed to implement one of their key policies.

Here's hoping Theresa May & her cronies can take a hint.

#Poverty and #climate more important than #Brexit, says Corbyn | #Politics | The Guardian

I have disagreed with #JeremyCorbyn on his approach to Brexit but he is right in saying that it is a sideshow compared to #GlobalWarming and tackling poverty. Unfortunately, in the short term it’s a more acute crisis but the others are far more important and damaging.

Stop Wasting Connections, Use HTTP Keep-Alive

Reusing a connection avoids the overhead of making a DNS lookup, establishing a connection, and performing an SSL handshake.

Along with the current trend of going back to gopher, http increasingly seems like a need for a do-over doesn't it?

The huge font, js and tracking overhead is insane for many otherwise simple pages. I mean just think of the need for the word 'render'...
