hookerbot 5000 posted:Changing refunds from a reasonable time to 30 days might be a bit of an issue. If I bought a washing machine and it broke after 3 months I would have expected my money back as 3 months is not a reasonable amount of time but 30 days (especially for a product that is only used sporadically) might not be long enough for the flaws to be uncovered. These days warranties and stuff make that statutory right kind of a second thought I guess but still I liked the wiggle room of 'reasonable time'. This I'm not so concerned about, but having read it a second time, the bit that jumps out is quote:consumers will now be able to take their complaints to certified Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) providers, a cheaper route than going through the courts This stinks of privatisation of a piece of the judicial process and it would not surprise me one bit if these ADRs turned out to be shoddily certified and basically bought-and-paid-for by retail groups. I thought something was amiss. To quote myself: JeremoudCorbynejad posted:It was dashed on day 1, like all other hope

They can still squirrel away a lot of money in tax havens. Now there are some legitimate military goals if I ever did see one.

Thanks to the new CRA, expect to see mobile providers trying to convince yiu to buy the phone outright and take a sim only deal, as there are also provisions to allow you to cancel your contract in cases of faulty phones. (That said, I think in store replacements will be a lot more common now. It also means your supplier is in hook for all of Apple's gently caress ups, and Apple doesnt owe you jack poo poo unless you bought it direct.)

Like most regulation in favour of consumers it's indirectly going to benefit big businesses who will be better able to absorb the costs than smaller businesses and startups. You might even find that they lobbied for or supported it, if you went digging.

JosephWongKS posted:David Cameron seems to have be almost completely unscathed by all of Mandelson's allegations so far, up to and including the allegations involving his carnal knowledge of a severed pig's head. How? How? Are Labour and the other opposition parties that weak, or does David Cameron / the Tories truly have that much of a stranglehold over the levers of power in the UK? Ashcroft, you mean. It hasn't gone anywhere as Corbyn is trying to be grown up, and the Press is biased towards the Tories.

The News seems to be pushing hard for the idea that Trident is where the Labour Party will rebel, now that Corbyn has said he won't annihilate a city of innocent civilians in nuclear fire in the event the UK has been reduced to a smoking nuclear ruin. If we ever get to that point that the UK is obliterated by nuclear weapons I will agree that Corbyn wasn't a very good Prime Minister if he pushes the button or not.

Or maybe that trident thing could be put to some constructive use. Well, the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4.5_inch_Mark_8_naval_gun isn't that big, sadly, and we're still waiting on the yanks for a JSF that works for our carriers  We've plenty of missiles, though.

He said he's happy for them to continue with Trident, but he will not fire the missiles. The issue isn't the renewal of Trident, the issue seems to be that the PM is obligated to say he'd use Nuclear Weapons, even if that's a lie. Are we not allowed an Anti-Nuclear PM? Or are politicians allowed to lie when its in the nations interest? Fans fucked around with this message at 10:57 on Oct 1, 2015 |

I'm sure it's just coincidence that A Very British Coup is in the Kindle monthly deals, just after John McDonnell has said that a future Labour government would make Amazon pay the right amount of tax.
