I assume then that the next election won’t be pretty for them

Pretty much every political commentator at this point is confident that they’re going to be wiped out and lose worse than they ever have in history. So yeah, not pretty.

That said it’s their own fault, Sunak was supposed to bring things around, but he’s basically done nothing and just sat there being useless while the right wing nationalist element of his own party essentially destroy their election chances. It’s bizarre watching them go at it, it’s like they were sent from the future with a mission to ensure the conservative party is never politically electable ever again.

Perhaps we could try and go a week without someone in government committing a crime.

There was a story about them deleting accounts with games, followed by articles saying it was only for accounts with no games.

So it was a non-story back then as well?

People going mad about this and it’s complete non-issue.

And of course ICE cars I’m going to start being phased out in a few years anyway.

I miss r/casualUK where everyone nas more normal.

We’ll be does do some stuff.

I don’t necessarily think we need for your family but at the same time there’s so many fuxked up things in this country to get worked up, about I just can’t really bring myself to be all that bothered.

We will have to wait and see what if they actually follow through.

They are big ones for making grand statements and then quietly backtracking later on once all the press isn’t paying attention anymore.

Well that and the fact that he’s 900 years old and probably thinks all phones are iPhones.

In the long run the disposable ones work out to be more expensive which means they make more profit.

But it’s hard for the average consumer to notice that because it takes a while to build up the price.

It’s like the difference between paying for a subscription £90 once a year, Vs paying £10 a month, for 12 months.
Obviously you are better off with the £90 option but it feels like a larger amount if you don’t pay attention.

I’ve come across this prat before, literally every single thread that they’re in they have to take some stupid brainless position just to be argumentative, for the sake of being argumentative. It’s not worth interacting with them, they’re not interested in an actual discussion because they don’t actually have an opinion, they just want to be awkward.

If there was a thread the sky is blue, they’d probably take the opposite position just to be irritating. They have no opinion of their own.

That’s why when they take air temperature samples they take multiple samples from multiple locations and they explicitly don’t put them under trees, behind shade, unusually high up.

If you’re standing under a tree resulting in a lower air temperature that won’t affect the weather prediction because the temperature isn’t taken from your phone.

Why don’t they just make a deal with a reputable meteorology group, and just use their reports.

Cities, you just said keyword there cities, you can do it in cities because people want to live in cities. They don’t want to live on the outskirts. Most of these offices are not in the city centre because the city centre is a really expensive place to have an office, only massive corporations are based there.

The vast majority of office space is in low rent districts on the periphery of cities. Because no one lives there there’s no shops, no leisure centres, no schools, no parks or other green spaces. You can’t just convert every building into a housing unit without considering the surrounding environment.

It would be infinitely cheaper to just build homes where you actually want them, than to try and convert a building that was never designed for the task.

I know it’s not trendy or hip or exciting to say that, but when you look at the economics it just doesn’t make sense outside of some very limited circumstances.

They can be, but do you want them to be. Most are not in convenient places.

Yeah but a business park or industrial estate is no place you want to live, so it’s not like thoss offices can be converted.

Absolutely, but this one’s especially stupid.

It’s like claiming that I am guilty of copyright violation because I read their book. If I regurgitated word for word their novel, for free, to anyone that asked for it, than yeah that would be copyright violation. However I sincerely down that is what’s actually happening here.

If there’s an injunction against publishing the name that means that the story is already out in public, but apparently only the Sun have it? Hummm.

I assume that someone was supposed to black out that Turn Right bit, but apparently that was too much effort.

The big problem are landlords. It’s the tenants who pay the heating bills, so why would they want to fork out money for insulation? It doesn’t save them any money at all.

I’m sure a lot of this is coming from them. I’m sure they all get together at monthly meetings to discuss how they’re going to oppress democracy in thir never ending pursuit of small profits.
