@SamwiseGameDev @NizMhani@Keir_Starmer So - to answer your specific question - the legal official languages of the UK are Welsh, Scots Gaelic and Irish. There you go.
@SamwiseGameDev @NizMhani@Keir_Starmer The UK has no formal legal definition of an official language. Wales defines Welsh as an official language, Scotland defines Gaelic.

@E7Drew@DrHoenderkamp By that standard, would each square metre of Mayfair be taxed at the same rate as each square metre of Merthyr Tydfil? For that to work fairly, should property values and relative incomes be matched across regions to eliminate the preferential whims of fashion and market forces?
@virginofthebird I’ve loved this song for as long as it’s been around. Absolute corker. Sounds like I should spend a little time with the rest of the album.
@carolvorders Does this suggest little more than the brass plate will be in the UK (tax purposes?) but the actual work and jobs will go to Spain and China?
@WretchedMorgan I was balancing dealing with all that schmalzy nostalgia with it actually being one of great all-time Trek episodes. Shaw’s reaction to meeting Geordie was brilliant.
@davidattinger @Anna_Soubry@johnredwood It does engage with the free market though, where external production companies and freelancer professionals bid to provide content and services to the corporation in return for a fee.
@murdo_fraser I’m quite certain that Tom Cruise wasn’t the image you stored in your wank-bank when you adopted that tired Tory trope of climbing aboard an item of obviously phallic military hardware
