I was an immig lawyer during the entire time @theresa_may was Home Secretary. Here are a random selection of tears:- Radiographer. Resident for 6 ys. Wife & 5 kids (all at school here 6 ys). Refused settlement for £70 traffic fine. It meant they all had to leave the UK. 1/7

Here's why people lose faith in politics. Even when this stuff is exposed, nothing changes. Brexit is going ahead despite evidence of such deep and widespread cheating that the result of the referendum should be declared unsafe. theguardian.com/uk-news/2019…

Beyond UX design, much of the displeasure can be attributed to certain architectural fundamentals that yield material ongoing burdens, such as a) pervasive shared DLLs vs contained APPs, b) pervasive registry magic, and c) lack of simple Unix underpinnings in a Linux server world

Almost every time a problem was raised during the referendum “We” could fix it. They were all "trivial" problems with "simple" solutions.
