I am fairly sure Boris didn't promise to do that. What he said was that we would save £350m/wk (through not paying something) and wouldn't that be better spent on the NHS. Of course, it was carefully worded and led people to assume he was saying something else (that they would spend it on the NHS), but I never saw that expressly said.

   So, let me get this right: (SLMGTR is my new acronym, lol);
   "Freedom of choice...is just a joke; YOU PEOPLE just responding to dumb commercials, telling you what to think/buy"...
That's a purely cynical take on a world filled with good people, trying to parse out the situation.  Seeming like we don't get freedom; it's too harmful to others (climate), and so...Cmnder 'Smith' will instruct you on proper personal spending and what's even available.

   Thinking: In EU, if vehicle is pulled over by police patrol, is that 75 inch TV, (illegal) going to be seized, as illegitimate goods ? Citation for driver (possession)?
   Some (bad) climate effects can happen, but the current crowd /(MOB ?) has it so twisted and weaponized...What's a person on the sidelines to do ?

Try saying: " Climate change? I think that unlikely."
(Sorry, I use sarcasm when needed).

Build it anyway? Sell some to the video-phile market as technology demonstrators. What you won't be able to do is sell it as a mass market product.

4K is *just about* at the threshold where a 50" or so screen will look better at typical viewing distance; very dependent on your eyesight (you'd need 20/20 vision after any correction to appreciate that.)  I'd be surprised if you see anything from broadcast TV, unless you mean satellite, do Sky offer 4K yet? I haven't had it for like 10 years...

I just don't see any point at all in 8K.  You'd need a 100" screen to appreciate that, and even an American is going to think that's a bit ridiculous.  Cinemas, sure?  Maybe even a home cinema projector playing an 8K bluray.  But we don't even have the transmission bandwidth on Freeview for anything more than 1080i60, and as you've pointed out, the average broadband connection is going to choke on 4K for some time (I'm feeling mighty fortunate with our 500Mbit/s BT FTTP, but I'm clearly the outlier!)
