Can’t disagree with that notion.
Political reform is required before we get all the way down theUS-style rabbit hole.
Money in politics in the US is ridiculous.
Politicians here are cheap but at least it’s not prohibitively expensive to run for everyone. I know there are barriers that shouldn’t be there.
Where are people even getting the money to launch these groups and hold their own conferences?
Really quite shocking and yet unsurprising from South West Water here. That “record fine” clearly didn’t have the intended impact either. The government needs to take action on this urgently.
Also… I think people shouldn’t need a Barrister for small claims court, they should be able to represent themselves. A bit poor in the system that someone should need to hire representation over such a small sum.
Oyster crackers is a pretty good shout actually
Oui, c’est une torture! Presque fini, j’espère…
Oh, c’est bon d’entendre, tout le monde a besoin des petites victoires ❤️
Je vous remercie… je suis américaine, mais j’habite en Angleterre depuis des ans. Je devrais être bonne, j’apprendrais depuis trois ans, mais je n’ai pas des amis francophones et je ne pratique assez. J’adore le français, c’est une langue vraiment belle.
Bien, je pense…
Ça a été une semaine tellement chaude et j’attends l’automne. Tout est de la merde.
Et vous?
PS: je suis désolée, j’apprends le français.
Very much agreed, although Dorries doesn’t seem the most stable of characters so I guess the risk is getting lumped in with the crazy.
Goes to town on Sunak, bugs herself up and (rightly) lists no accomplishments she has achieved for her constituents. Utterly self-centered woman.
Fair enough, I just don’t really have faith that the UK is genuinely going to make any changes that have the desired positive impact, at least not on a national/regulatory level. I would be happy to be proven wrong on a large scale!!
I don’t understand your position on this, to be frank. The UK is a relatively small agricultural area when compared to the total CAP coverage area. Why opt to vote to exclude ourselves from that when the UK previously had reasonable influence on EU policy? Surely an approach of tactical voting to ensure both local and EU representation had a greener/longer-term approach to these types of policies rather than pushing the UK to go it alone?
While I don’t disagree that going it alone reduces the hurdles to this type of policy change (assuming political will), it does push the UK into a space of competitive disadvantage, does it not? Some of the investment and improvements the article points out (admittedly I have skimmed rather than read thoroughly) will come with time anyway, and having been part of a larger community could have been helpful in making the transition.
Rats from a sinking ship and all that.
I really thought this was a newsthump article when I was reading the headline.
Man this government is absolutely useless.
If you have an iPhone or Apple Watch you can set one of your wallet cards to be an ‘express travelcard’ which means to get on the tube you just hold your watch or phone up to the card reader at the tube station, no double click to load your wallet and no Face ID or unlock required.
Somehow my husband always knows, doesn’t matter how long the oven timer is set, he is forever standing up from the couch just before the timer goes off
What kind of crazy voodoo is this?!
Love this thing, checking in from feddit.uk
M&S own brand salt and vinegar are the closest I have found to my all-time favourites which no longer exist…

Same.
