Kind of why I'm james_downes in the other place
@jamesjwyork No James, it's not. There is no 'I'm autistic, so I can get my willy out" excuse And implying there is disrespects the entire community. This is the kind of prejudice we fight every single day

I miss those Tuesday nights

Had talks with one of the Canadian pension fund with an #insurtech startup They passed because the it was going to be based offshore for tax purposes. They had an had an ethical rule not to invest in businesses with an offshore tax component. I hope the UK does the same #r4today
