@docrussjackson Question:
Regarding ofcom rule 5.4, who would be regarded as the person providing the service?
Presumably it couldn't be the holding company as that's not a person and would be a massive loophole if it is.

If only someone in the media would expose Farage's incitement yesterday via performative utterance in the same way that Jonathan Miller humiliated Enoch Powell and his grubby little racism.
Sarah Everard was kidnapped, raped and murdered by a WHITE Police Officer.
Nigel Farage called for calm.
But when he can use racism he calls for Cold, Hard, Rage.
Sarah Vine — lying again.
One of the officers performed CPR on Henry, which demonstrates conclusively that he didn’t know the student had been stabbed in the chest.
If Vine had bothered to read the judge's sentencing remarks, she would know this.
"They had a pink triangle sewn on their chests": the real story of gay men who were sent to concentration camps
It could all start with a complaint.
A neighbor.
A co-worker.
A friend.
Even a family member.
All it takes was someone to say you were gay.
And your life could end.
During the Nazi regime, thousands of men were persecuted simply for loving other men. Many were arrested under a law known as Section 175, used to criminalize relationships between men. (Holocaust)
But the worst came after the arrest.
When they arrived at the concentration camps, they were forced to use a symbol that marked them in front of all the other prisoners:
a pink triangle sewn on clothes. (HISTORY)
That little piece of cloth meant a sentence of constant humiliation.
I identified them.
Los aislaba.
I was turning them into targets.
Many survivors recounted that men with the pink triangle used to receive some of the most dangerous and brutal jobs inside the fields. They also suffered violence not only from the guards, but even from other prisoners. (The Holocaust)
Imagine waking up every morning knowing that everyone could immediately recognize why you were there.
No privacy.
No defense.
Hopeless.
Some were sent off for medical experiments.
Others have died by forced labour.
So many just disappeared without a trace. Historians estimate that thousands of gay men were sent to concentration camps and that the mortality rate was extremely high. (Wikipedia)
And perhaps the most devastating part of this whole story happened after the war.
Because when the fields were liberated, many homosexual survivors weren't even recognized as victims.
The same law that had been used to incarcerate them continued to exist for decades. Some men were persecuted again even after surviving the Nazi horror. (Holocaust)
While other survivors could tell their story, many gay men had to go back into hiding.
Return to the silence.
Return to the fear.
And that's why the pink triangle ended up becoming something unexpected years later.
What had been created to humiliate and dehumanize ended up transforming into a symbol of memory, resistance and dignity for generations to come. (HISTORY)
Because behind every triangle there was something that regimes never managed to completely destroy:
a person who just wanted to love without fear.
Nigel Farage is so determined to exploit this tragedy and divide our country that he couldn’t even bring himself to condemn thugs attacking police officers.
Incorrect names for two police officers involved in the arrest of Henry Nowak have been circulating online.
Hampshire Police Federation has confirmed Christi Hill and Tristan Parsons were not involved in the incident.

'My question for Nigel Farage is - why does the family of Henry Nowak mean nothing to you?'
@Peston addresses Farage directly over his claims of 'two-tier' policing.
The Reform leader called for people to respond with ‘pure, cold rage’, despite the family's appeal for calm.
A British national living in Southampton had her car and property damaged. She said,
“I’ve never felt so unsafe in my house.”
She did not feel unsafe because of Sikhs, Muslims or migrants but because of other British nationals, a section of whom were far right.
A couple of months ago I thought Zia might be Reform's JD Vance, but it turns out he's Reform's Stephen Miller.
Hard line, arrogant and unlikeable. He's going to be Reform's undoing.
Telling someone born here, raised here, educated here, a proud UK citizen, and who has had the honour of being repeatedly elected by fellow Brits here, to go back to India does sound a bit racist Catherine!
If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck…
