Generally avoid posting idiotic things this guy says, but as most people know as offensive as this guy is he's been sure not to offend anyone powerful and it seems like he's finally picked a side. Hopefully this will the straw that break the camel back for the Conservatives.

The Conservative leader called for a ban on Chinese software, matching the US.

“We will protect the North American supply chains by keeping the 75% rule in place, harmonise the North American cybersecurity rules by banning Chinese software, and align with our partners on the tariff against China to counter unfair trade and increase our negotiating leverage,” he stated.

obviously one delay is more memorable than 10 arrivals on time.

Our brains are wired to remember negative outcomes to help decision making in the future. Which is why I was asking, I didn't have a great opinion of it, and just wanted to be sure I wasn't being needlessly harsh.
Which it seems like I was.... considering I live in the UK and rail travel here is an absolute joke. No reason the train from Edinburgh to London should be 5ish hours and 7ish to drive. It's not even really that far...I say as a Canadian with a probably quite skewed perception of reasonable distances to drive....
