    So MI5 can get parties to drop candidates just by saying they "could" be a spy, without proof, or conviction?

    Literally anyone "could" be a spy.

    Doesn't that mean the spooks can basically veto any candidate they don't like?

    Perhaps it's more to do with changes to the internet over the past 5 or so years? Such as the pervasive rise of algorithmic feeds designed to drive "engagement"?

    Nicotine on it's own isn't particularly addictive. It only becomes highly addictive when combined with the MAO inhibitors found in tobacco, primarily harman and norharman.

    Beehaw is looking to shut down and or completely defederate.

    They already de-federated 447 instances, I doubt that will make much difference.

    It's an inkwell, seems old, possibly bronze, but who is it supposed to be?
