DUP leader Arlene Foster called out Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar as "reckless" for pushing the issue of the possible Irish Border as a Brexit problem, when the concern should be more to work together with Northern Ireland, as most of the Republic's trade is with the UK.
One of Obama's decisions in 2015, during his presidency, was to protect net neutrality, i.e. that access to the internet would be treated as a utility and not be open to the offer of tiered services. This was regulated by the Federal Communications Commision. In line with other Obama decisions, this is likely to be revoked/reversed now that the Republicans are in control. The FCC has stated it will scrap the open internet rules, the vote on putting its plan into action will be in December.
Robert Mugabe resigns after days of protests and the 'non-coup' by the Zimbabwean military. The situation arose after the country's other leaders finally had enough of being fired as he tried to prepare for his wife to continue the dynasty. Euphoria on the streets of Harare but time will tell if democracy is re-instated.
Today saw the arrival of a heavy box from the printers. The printed sheets to make the Milton Calendar had arrived. Including the binding in the printing would have doubled the the price, so the search was on for finding our own solution and driving to the office supply store on Newmarket Road.. The biggest shock of the day, Staples is no longer on the high streets, its retail chain was bought by Hilco Capital, owner of HMV, and rebranded as Office Outlet back in February. The fact that I had not noticed till now is a testament the internet taking over in my shopping habits.
