Doesn't it give us a nice warm feeling to know that our government is right up there with the undisputed global leaders at the WEF to plan the regulation that our world now desperately needs in order to take us into the future, safe and secure (or kicking and screaming)?
Where is James Bond when we need him?
This will " ensure innovators have the environment needed to create and support the industries, products and services of the future".

("Models Q?"
"from Imperial, Bond, the very latest, couldn't survive without them")

No, I did look, but sadly there was no mention of such mundane matters as filling pot-holes in a timely manner to an appropriate standard. But I cavil - it turns out that they are going to be regulating the flying taxis, so of pot-hole filling there will be no need!
They are probably busy prioritising the really important matters, such as regulating the length of GMO meal-worms that can be sold in our supermarkets once all the farm animals have been exterminated by mRNA vaccination to keep us all safe - not that we would have been able spend the pitifully few CBDCs in our UBI on anything as unhealthy (and ruinously expensive) as meat anyway.
Still good to know that good old GB will be at the very forefront of the cutting edge of global regulatory innovation, right out ahead of the global pack, as always.
(For those of you that may be wondering, this article is sadly not a spoof ... well, not much anyway)
