It probably was this time because the UK rail system is very London centred, but I think this is the first time the first run won. Going first has the disadvantage that your seekers start from the main transport hub too!
Well, someone descended from migrants hating later migrants is pretty twisted and a bit self-loathing, don't you think? There's got to be something wrong to want to change the rules so you wouldn't have existed if those rules had been in place years earlier.
Also how britain is an immigrant nation ? It s a 2000 year old country. Immigration wasnt even possible in scale 100 year ago because transportation wasnt good enough.
The country of Great Britain is only just over 300 years old, but let's pretend you meant England, which is just under 1100 years old. Boats have existed for a long time, but you're right that they weren't readily available to everyone, so early mass immigration events were often linked to invasions, such as the famous Normans or less famous Dutch (most recently in 1688), or expulsions and exoduses from nearby countries, such as France (Huguenots, who were about 5% of London's population around 1700 = 30,000, with about as many in Kent) or Flanders (the Strangers). Before England was unified, there were Angles an Vikings from across the North Sea, Saxons and Romans from mainland Europe, Celts from Central Europe before them, and farmers from Spain and Turkey before that. Before that, it gets pretty hazy, but pretty much all "Brits" are descended from a mix of these immigrants.
Encroaching crypto-fascism. A perverse desire for control,
Or sometimes it is a real desire to be seen as tough on crime without noticing that the people who want age-verification/identity-document-duplication include some of the biggest criminals.
Possibly propaganda, but a past government. The funder of that game, "Prevent", was a scheme started under the ill-fated Cameron government and by 2023, I think that was the Sunak government.
Then again, why shouldn't people who act as if they're being radicalised in the game not expect their character to be nearly arrested in the game? It's extremely twisted if someone from an immigrant nation like the UK starts protesting against immigration, it's not going to end well and it's probably better for the game to explain that reality than pretend those protests don't have a downside.
The game is from 2023. Not much to do with the current government. It was also an attempt to stop radicalisation, not shame people for having stupid views on immigration.
The game when it was online would report you for taking "wrong" decision
Are you sure? The article seems to say it would have told you that your actions in the game scenario would have resulted in reporting, but the wording seems ambiguous.
Xitter, fakebook and friends are not social (more lke antisocial), not media (as they aren't subject to the full media regulations), and unsafe for adults too!
Either not spoiled entirely, or I missed it. We see at the end of this ep a play, which I think is enough to make the event mentioned in the layover happen just on extra travel time from that act. The line Ben is on is really slow and a bit irregular while still within the rules because of trains serving only his part of the line and things like that.
If the seekers are willing to ignore the first train back, gift Ben a little time and instead get the next service which terminates in Ben's town, it'll wreck his plan.
We can't conclude from the layover how the plan pans out totally. It could still go either way. But we can suspect from how annoyed someone sounds!
I would have liked to see the queue curse, but I think it's fair enough that he didn't take it, especially since they're on their way straight to him.
Was the curse playble in the end game? I think it would be a nuisance in small town. But it's not as good as what he had.
The first section where Adam just pestered Sam to give him Edinburgh facts was awesome. Could tell he'd had enough of hearing that Sam spent 4 years there 😂
I thought Adam was parodying the annoying US tourists and tour guides that get in the way in the city centre and tell each other made-up stuff!
I wished our lawmakers were of a less senile age so we can write and pass more appropriate laws for this stuff...but not much we can do.
Talk with them. Explain stuff. Vote for better ones. It's still not much, but it's better than doing nothing and letting them keep on blundering unchallenged.

I looked into who runs it a bit and oh wow, it's far far worse than that. If you get a captcha from archive.is / archive.ph / archive.today and allow it scripting permission, it seems to use your browser as part of a DDoS attack.

Not every time, but far too often. They don't seem to care that they're discriminating against people with AV impairment, plus locking out some secure browsers.
