@Pcar Your last point was the one I was making
(Your first 2 I don't agree with. Conceivably you could request a page URL ending in anything and I could still send you can on fly page
The actual URL doesn't actually have a file name so it could be sending you index.asp etc )

Read again:

Download their website and look at source.

Given the present OTT bansturbator / wankerati stuff about offending people I'm surprised there isn't a porcine exclusion zone around certain religious locations - mebbe the twerps who've been dreaming this stuff up were exhausted with their exertions pushing out the pile of kerrapp that it didn't occur to them.

Sadly, it did occur to Gov't RoP lovers:

APHA may not approve your walking route if....

Crime Figures

England Policing Crisis: Crime Up 13 Per Cent, Rape up 22 Per Cent, Just One in Nine Burglaries Solved

Violent crime appears to have increased even more sharply, with some of the headline figures including:

1,229,260 offences of violence against the person, an increase of 19 per cent on the previous year
129,700 sexual offences, an increase of 19 per cent on the previous year
45,100 rapes, an increase of 22 per cent on the previous year
36,998 offences involving a knife or sharp instrument, an increase of 26 per cent on the previous year
6,696 offences involving firearms, an increase of 27 per cent on the previous year — despite draconian controls on legal gun-ownership

C4 News was whining about USA TV blaming this on RoP migrants. C4 too busy shouting "terrorism was down" to consider what they said next: "rape & knife crime up" :/facepalm

Dear C4, Rape & Knife assault is what RoP do.

ha! indeed... I didn't bother to read it - but since you obviously have - your revelations exceed what I'd imagined might be in the regulations.

Looks like they didn't consult David Cameron either.

I just checked https://www.gov.uk/complain-about-charity about 1010 registration
and it says to complain first to charity
Thus I just tweeted them.

My ASA claim might fail ..as is it an actual advert if their own tweet tells you to go to their own website ?.

@Pcar how do we prove that the page is static
it could conceivably be "generated on the fly"

However Google doe not pick up such pages normally
and I can see that pagedoes come up on a Google search and is in Googles cache here

Generated pages tend not to be .html but eg .aspx

Also no use of javascript to populate variables eg the percentages.

Google can not cache dynamic pages as they only exist in user's browser, not on web.

In other news UK Government has issued guidance on walking pet pigs .... it's not like there are some other rather more pressing issues they might be tasked with is it?

https://www.gov.uk/guidance/keeping-a-pet-pig-or-micropig

- You can’t keep a pet pig at your home until you get a county parish holding (CPH) number from the Rural Payments Agency (RPA).

- You need to get a licence from your APHA to walk your pig outside your home or premises.
- You must have your licence with you whenever you’re walking your pig, and you’ll need to renew it every year.

- You can’t feed pigs catering waste from any domestic or commercial kitchen, including kitchens that only cater for vegetarians.

Imagine the laws & rules Gov't would impose if dogs, cats, hamsters, goldfish first became pets in 2016:

....
- You can’t feed dogs catering waste from any domestic or commercial kitchen, including kitchens that only cater for vegetarians

Thus, potential fine or jail for giving Fido an emptied tin/yoghurt-tub/cake-mix-bowl to lick clean

Gov't - F*** Off and stop interfering in personal decisions

Apparently someone called John Hayes who's being - ironically imho - called the Transport Minister is threatening compulsory EV charging points at retail petrol outlets across the UK

John Hayes, Transport Minister for May's Socialist Party Gov't:

(2) Regulations under subsection (1) may, for example—
(a) require large fuel retailers or service area operators to provide public charging points;
(b) require public charging points to be available for use at prescribed times;
(c) require services or facilities prescribed by the regulations to be provided in connection with public charging points

Were Shell, BP, ESSO, Jet, Tesco et al forced to open petrol stations by Gov't Law?

No - they opened them hoping people would buy what they sold.

Same applies to EV charging points

Gov't - F*** Off and stop interfering in free market decisions
