Re: Coming home
I think the spectre of a burning up satellite landing near their offices would mean they'd have a bigger meltdown problem to deal with.

I don't understand why the ICO don't object to any companies making themselves insolvent or striking themselves off the register.
Companies Act 2006 section 1006
The failure to provide you with a copy of the application to strike off is a criminal offence.s.1006(4)
If it was done with the intention of concealing the striking off from you then that is an aggravated offence s1006(5)

They are only simple if you have an IT department who knows what they are doing. It could be said that Windows patches are equally simple and speedy to apply if they are being pushed out by a mechanism such as Windows Update for Business or by IT departments centrally for Enterprise installs.
But at least they're doing something and being pro-active about it (even if it is only for their customers). This does make me wonder if they are actually breaking OFCOM regulations by not delivering the call to it's intended recipient though. I'd like to see each and every telecoms company provide this service FOC!

Stop reporting it then. If media stopped reporting on these people then they might, just might, go away. See also, "reality tv stars", the Kardashians etc.
It seems that your average QANTAS flyer is the culprit here as the majority of the incidents have happened with them. Perhaps they should change their pre-flight briefing and have passengers fasten their phones to their forehead with velcro.
Of course, if they do lose the phone, it's obvious where it will be - down under.
So , Leavers;
1) HP sauce, taken away from the UK and now produced in the Netherlands. An argument for keeping things British and supporting Leave I suppose.
2) Bisto - still produced in the UK by Premier Foods.
3) ITV News?, ITV News?, come on people. Only slightly higher up the rung than Sky news. Still watching this all the time would probably have me voting to leave as well.
4) The Health Lottery. A lottery where good 'ole UK folk can spend thousands trying for the "big win" and contribute to "health related causes" - not even NHS mind and they don't even contribute to these causes as much as the National Lottery does. Run by the company owned by Richard Desmond! I suppose the justification is that this is required at all.
5) Birds Eye - An AMERICAN brand and always has been. I suppose it is difficult for people who voted leave to differentiate between mainland Europeans, Americans or any other continent for that matter (as has been proven with some of the reported post-Brexit racially motivated attacks that have taken place).
6) Iceland - Seriously? If this was the best that Britain could offer supermarket wise then i suppose i'd want to leave as well.
7) Sky News - see 3) and the fact this is owned by an Australian. I don't see them complaining about Sky Sports ruining football.
8) Cathedral city - This is still made in Cornwall, so a good British brand.
9) PG Tips - and this one.
10) Richmond - As in London? Really? It's half-owned by Russian oligarchs. The other half is owned by the Chinese.
As for the Remainers;
1) bbc.co.uk - It's not exactly TheRegister.co.uk is it?
2) BBC iplayer - It's not exactly Netflix is it?
3) Instagram - It's no Facebook, oh, wait a minute..
4) London Underground - Are they actually not on strike this week then?
5) Spotify - It's no Tidal is it? But at least it is European.
6) Airbnb - Another American site.
7) LinkedIn - sigh, this is also an American site.
8) Virgin Trains - It's no Southern Rail is it? At least it is a British "success" story, uses French & Belgian built trains.
9) Twitter - Another American web-site??? sorry i've ran out of characte
10) EasyJet - started by a Greek-Cypriot man who lives in the tax haven of Monaco.
Actually, this has now changed. They have to be paid for travel time as well and it has to be included in minimum wage calculations and holiday pay;

This was another way employers could avoid payment to not only their workers but The Inland Revenue.
You're correct, it was clarified after not only this, but an earlier near-miss involving two Japanese airlines. The Japanese asked for the clarification after that incident but it wasn't until the final report on this accident that it was actually specified TCAS takes priority. The incident report also found that both sets of advice was contradictory, the DHL pilots being instructed to go with TCAS, the Russian one, to go with ATC (or their last instruction).
if i remember rightly the Russian pilot overruled the TCAS system and also got conflicting information from the sole air-traffic controller working on the nigh - so humans caused that, not the automated TCAS which gave the correct instructions to avoid the collision to both sets of pilots.
