During recent EU enlargments the UK has allowed free movement from those countries before other major EU states. The plus side is that we now have a lot more poles that we did a few years ago.
You are ignoring the history. The internet watch foundation (IWF)started off as an attempt to target child abuse hosted in the UK. Not even a government action. It was the police that made it clear to a group of ISPs that they would do something if child abuse image weren't removed from certain UK servers. Thus ISPs set of the IWF was set up to handle reports and forward them for take-down.
The UK's filtering system has an even odder history. Neither the government nor the police asked for it. BT decided to develop the system (cleanfeed) pretty much of their own imitative then pressure the other ISPs into setting up something similar.
None of this was sold as protecting children since it was never sold. Until the IWF blocked an image on wikipedia public awareness of their activities was pretty much nill.
Health and safety is mostly UK law (okey most of the stuff people complain about is UK law being applied poorly or people not realising the risks of certain activities). EU law tends to be weaker than UK law and practice in this area and in some cases the EU has actually weakened it. The classic one is life jackets. The old UK definition of a life jacket had a pretty good chance of keeping you afloat and the right way up even when unconscious. The EU definition does not.
One of the issues these new drugs throw up is that there is no way to properly regulate them. They make 4-Methylcyclohexanemethanol look well documented. Probably the closest you could get is "we have no idea what this chemical does if you do decide to take it please let us know what happens".
Problem with your decent band? No one has heard of them. Which limits their ability to sell out even mid sized venues. They need marketing and well that's what the the music industry actually does (the recording studios are very much secondary).
While this happens from time to time there tends to have been an intermediate conversion to something other than nitrocellulose which tends to have exploded by now although a mix of chance and good storage conditions can prevent that.
You don't need most of the things on that list. B&W Cellulose acetate film stored at low temps would still be around. In principle Nitrocellulose stored at low enough temps might have survived but you'd need to get postgrads or other expendable people to handle it.
Wrong tense. There are enough converters emulators around at this point that we can read anything halfway mainstream as long as we can read the hardware its on.
Not HDR. You need multiple exposers for that and the people look like they are moving too fast to make that viable. Its dodging and burning combined with a lot of messing with the colour curves.
Could be a marketing strategy. This kind of stuff is of limited interest to conventional security firms (a focused attack by someone with more resources than you isn't something you can do much about and isn't a very large market) but it does make your company look like they know what they are doing. US and European companies may use different marketing strategies.
Define modern because the East India company got up to some interesting stuff. Otherwise you would be looking at the activities of various mining companies in the DRC in the 90s.
All the alternatives are worse. Remember we are not dealing with subtle grades of fair use of complex issues over how long certain copyrights last. You can deal with them at a rate of about 1 a minute assuming you've got everything other than Y/N/Escalate automated. Assuming a 38 hour working week that's 110 people. The other half of the budget goes to the 10 lawyers or so needed to deal with the messy stuff. For a company of google's size that's quite doable.

Teratogens are the concern but that only tends to turn up in specialist areas.
Not much. They usually know a fair bit about us. Which in turn is usually the reason they are trying to avoid us.

The problem is the websites that are mostly read by that tiny demographic.
Going by the sales of tickets for the "The Return of the Spice Girls" tour I'd say they have a fan-base.

Eh word of such things usualy leaks out pretty fast. Thing is there are so many sites in of the british coast. Mostly things that fell overboard.
London firefighters are public sector. Airport group won't be.
thats cool but in that case you aren't getting it back until the investigation is complete.

There are a few industrial setups where that is pretty much what has happened.
In fairness they did manage to transfer the stuff off the discs and put the stuff without copyright issues online.
Ah JIDF. Thing is I can spot propaganda from both sides.
The lighting on the faces is consistent with light bouncing off the building and onto the people.

Not so. Check out the local history section of your local library sometime.

Depending on how you read the DMCA that would ever be perjury or straightforward fraud.
