So Reform have managed to last less than a year before infighting started between about 5 people. As the man says, it looks very much like the chairman has set the police on him in revenge only a few days after he criticised Farage because its very obvious the whole worldview the party is based on is coming apart.

Also congratulations to reddit for managing to be in an unusable state once again and getting me off their own platform to post this.

Its a good show with a very silly tone hiding some crazy plot lines

Far beyond time for this to be in the bin, I think there is one other country in the world that allows it. Hopefully the day will come when renters are placed on the same footing too, even if its clearly not going to be any time soon.

Also on Groves reforms just happening to include ways for landowners to undermine the entire system while superficially looking good, thats not some accident.

What does that have to do with anything? Wars aren't won by the number of bodies on the front, they haven't been since ww2.

Most of Europe was too cosy with him, and thats all gone now its clear appeasement / containment / dragging Russia in the west culturally has utterly failed. The entire northern hemisphere seems to be in the initial stages of realigning into 3 great blocks.

And judging by history, those who stand outside them will be crushed between them.

I still have alot of the level layouts burnt into my memory. Several very memorable places you can line the walls with grenades and trivialise MIB ambushes ahead of time :).

Very few games really allow you to build a character that ranges from practically undetectable to rocket launching robot chewing monster in quite the same way, and most of those are its sequels

The EU isn't a global power, thats a major part of why this happened in the first place.

That its clearly in Europes interests to become a unified state that can do things like send its own large 1st rate army to defend its borders will be one of the major consequences of this war. It will light a fire under federation efforts.

I don't see how the government could afford this. Even Labour is on a full blown cutting spree.

Interesting development that the plant is being de-prioritised down to secondary generator status. Thats the ongoing clean transition in action there.

Naturally a supposedly green group immediately popped up to complain about getting what they want.

Demand an apology?

Do people not understand what an apology is?

 

Interesting gamble the government is taking here. Unusually the environmentalists are right to be cautious, SMRs have been designed since the 90s and not a one of them has ever come to anything.

Also not completely sure why we'd need it. By the governments own plans we can expect our wind power to jump from 10gw to 50gw by 2035, which would mean being 100% renewable powered for months at a time.

Which will make it very very expensive, the research I've seen recently says nations that manage that transition can expect electric price falls of a quarter to a half, and that Hinckley plant is already going to be selling at over twice the unit price of any other source. I would expect SMR plans to collapse for that reason by itself.

Its a very interesting question

The presumption is that they are front loading bad news so its all good news closer to elections. But I don't know if that will work if the Americans manage to cause to full blown trade war.

I'm only recently arrived here but already the tech stack seems significantly more stable
