Brexit, for once some facts.

The whole situation is a mess. There is conflicting information coming from government and medical advisors. People no longer understand what they should be doing or what the risks are. Those with weak minds and who can't navigate the situation for themselves are flocking to beaches and other beauty spots, creating scenes like those witnessed over the past two days.
Who owns the other 80%?
And, so far as I can see, OneWeb are primarily low earth orbit people going for high capacity comms rather than GPS-like merchants.

our own GPS? I don't get it.
We buy Chinese phones, German cars, American planes. They all come with GPS - why do we want our own other than for military purpose?

The other day I suggested that no GPS-like system is 100% secure and reliable. The most sensible thing for multiple satnav systems is for them to back each other up. Whichever goes wrong, the others can be used instead.
If some organisation decided to attack GPS, Galileo, or the others, there would be the potential for a serious military response. Can't see UK-nav getting anyone else excited enough to help us.
ADDED:
All very well having our own system - but if all the devices that can access it come from China, S Korea, or wherever, it doesn't give us much control, does it?

The Chinese phones, German cars and the plane’s navigation gear is all reliant on foreign satellite infrastructure, unless we build our own Satelite system. I don’t think we are capable of doing it though. Our government can’t even get a rubber glove to a nursing home, to put on a finger in order to loosen a difficult stool. They have absolutely no prospect of getting anything into space. We would be better off staying with the EU system, but that’s not going to happen now we have opted for the oven ready deal Johnson said we had just prior to the election.
Incidentally, why are we having all of these trade talks if we already have this “oven ready” deal? Has anyone asked the yellow streak of pi$$ about that?
I think they must be pretty vulnerable to. All you would need to do is orbit a few grams of debris at the GPS Satelites and you could take an entire constellation out.
An interesting article, without any answers:

This is so weird and inexplicable I can’t fathom it: why did deaths in people aged 15-44 spike during lockdown, & only in England?

Malcolm Kendrick is notorious for spreading conspiracy theories, for example his book insisting cholestereol being a threat is a huge con. Snag is it containes serious errors in omitting some very relevant data, only becoming apparent late in the book.
Having read it I wouldn't trust any story he promotes, I can already see the possibility of missing relevant data in this latest tale.

Meanwhile at Clacton-ukip-on-Sea police were out in force catching shirking sunseekers and returning them to their workplaces to be shackled to their call centre desks
VIDEO footage has emerged of a day tripper attempting to run away from police officers following a sea rescue before being wrestled to the ground.
Clacton’s beach patrol team was called into action on Wednesday evening following reports that a man - who is believed to have been intoxicated - had entered the sea before getting into difficulty.
In footage seen by the Gazette, a man is captured walking out of the water alongside members of the quick-thinking rescue crew.
As he reaches the beach, he is confronted by a police officer, who seems to then try to speak with him.
The Gazette contacted Essex Police for comment but it did not respond at the time of going to press as they were all off-duty down the off-licence near the beach .
As someone more concerned with having too low a cholesterol level than too high, I have to agree with him that statins for everyone is an iatrogenic epidemic. Yes, even with very low cholesterol, they wanted to prescribe me statins. It has dropped even further and is now well below bottom of range.
I wondered why I kept hearing people shouting " come on you reds " I thought the commies had launched an attack.
I spent a whole hour searching for my Che Guevara poster for nothing making me all hot and bothered again.
Buy one now..Reads like a mediaeval weapon.

I’d be in favour of land mines being placed on Britain’s beaches. Everyone going to the beach could be issued with a numbered tabard, so that companies like Bet360 could organise gambling based around who get blown up first. We could have full odds for a clean kill and a reduction for a maiming.Meanwhile at Clacton-ukip-on-Sea police were out in force catching shirking sunseekers and returning them to their workplaces to be shackled to their call centre desks

Just point them at the SS Richard Montgomery. Day trips of crowded boats...
It's for the people tracking system. Soon, we will all be tracked and identified wherever we go. Most people don't realise that we are already most of the way there.
I still have mine. It's rolled up with my Jimi Hendrix and atom bomb posters that I bought in 1971. They're probably worth something now.
I am getting really worried, not about you but about myself. I think you could well be correct in what you have written here. Does that mean I have started the slow decline into the world of conspiracy theories about about everything?
Quite a lot I would think. I was watching a programme recently about the Jam, and someone was saying advertising posters from their gigs at the time (mid to late 70s I think) are today worth a fortune.
