I am just contacting the CMA to suggest that,
a) asbig tech should not be allowed to dictate laws and bully to change laws. by blocking access to news.
I am also suggesting we need to get behind alternatives more, e.g decentralised social media,
I would really encourage others here to do the same, it may make a difference, if nothing it gets the name fediverse, mastodon etc out there so people have actually heard of it.

New Community Ward Fund to improve your local area
park
A new fund of £54,000 to help spruce up local areas has been made available to Ward Councillors.
After years of austerity and hard decisions being made on not replacing or fixing the small things in local communities the new Community Ward Find could be used to:
Freshen up and/or fix play equipment and seating in local parks
Replace or freshen up signage, for example road signs
Fix and/or re-paint fences and gates on council land
Ward Councillors and Community Partnerships will work together with their local communities to gather ideas of grass roots projects and proposals that this fund could be used on.
@TorbayUK may be interested in this need to share here due to number of words in post

Interesting, not sure who this fierce competition is from though, unless it is the fediverse,
Anyway I agree with what is being said here, they are just too powerful,

I'm playing on a Minecraft server with a bunch of good friends. My buddy wants to dig a tunnel to my place and create a train connection. Doesn't matter that he's about 5000 blocks away, he's gonna do it anyway.
So I decided to build a perron (station platform) for his arrival. I know where his point of entry is, let's see if he's as good at maths as I am. ;) I'm pretty happy with how it turned out, and for now it's good enough.
As soon as I unlock more stuff, I might upgrade bits here and there at this perron. For example... a real wide monitor with a large scrolling text of my station name is certainly a possibility. A large monitor with the current time and destinations is another. Just a li'l bit of LUA programming there. ;)
