As soon as I saw that language, I lost any hope that this would end well. I'm not convinced a real lawyer even wrote that, let alone a competent one. People in the YouTube comments are speculating that it was churned out by an AI; my mind went toward that dunderhead that represented Vic Mignogna, the kind of lawyer who learned everything they know from TV and thinks winning cases is about making a spectacle of yourself and your client and God only knows how they ever passed a bar exam. (And if they did hand the job of writing their papers over to an AI, I'm probably still right about that last part.)

Related to SKG, I got an automated email from the UK Parliament saying there won't be a revised response to the petition (I imagine because it was for the previous party). Hopefully a resubmission will do the job.

Funny you should mention the UK; in other, less encouraging news that arrived in my inbox just today:

You recently signed the petition “Require videogame publishers to keep games they have sold in a working state”:

The Government will not be providing a revised response to this petition from the previous Parliament.

Thanks,

If I understand what they're saying correctly, time to start all over again from the beginning if we want to make any bloody progress in Britain.
