@StufferSuitcase @shivmalik @AnnaClarke_____ “Oh you have a Welsh flag” My word. I’ll never recover from your intellect.

@BitcoinBertie @shivmalik @AnnaClarke_____ Oh you have a Welsh flag. Fuck off and ruin your own countryside. But don’t come sobbing over here when it’s too late eh.

Building *only* social housing is perfectly possible (private housebuilders can build it for you if you like). But it requires around £100,000 subsidy per new home. I'd quite like to see the Green Party's plans for how to fund it.

@StufferSuitcase @shivmalik @AnnaClarke_____ “I don’t mind covering the fields if it provides MY home” <insert emoji>

@BitcoinBertie @shivmalik @AnnaClarke_____ Yeah, because the housing:countryside ratio was precisely the same 150 years ago as it is now. However do you do it, Holmes 🙄

@StufferSuitcase @shivmalik @AnnaClarke_____ “It’s over 150 years old” 🤣🤣🤣🤣 What a killer argument. Someone will do the same in 150 years time defending the field opposite their home. Never change. Never change.

@BitcoinBertie @shivmalik @AnnaClarke_____ It’s over 150 years old. And in central London. You want to build in central London? Go for it, we need homes there. You want to ruin what’s left of the countryside and biodiversity by building cheap ugly crappy estates that will inevitably be the next building scandal? Trot on.

@StufferSuitcase @shivmalik @AnnaClarke_____ The home that you live in. What was it originally. “Homes for me, but not for thee” Off you trot…

@BitcoinBertie @shivmalik @AnnaClarke_____ No, what’s wild is wanting to build on all our green fields and spaces. And somehow thinking the taxpayer is ultimately funding it. For people who don’t pay for their own housing.

@StufferSuitcase @shivmalik @AnnaClarke_____ You know the government pays farmers to *not grow food* You know this. Yet you make that comment. Wild.

@shivmalik @AnnaClarke_____ And meanwhile what happens to our food production?

@GrahamCompton @graeme_cobb 352pm for 15,000miles per annum with a a mere 13p excess mileage charge - with only 352 down - for 24 months is insane value. 30,000 miles for £8,800 Or 50,000 for £11,400 Please. Do tell me why you would be better off buying rather than leasing?

@graeme_cobb That is a cracking deal and a fantastic car. However, in my view, this only makes sense as a company car as a Director. Even salary sacrifice to pay for this is a bad move in my opinion. If you can't afford to pay cash, you can't afford the car. x.com/GrahamCompton/…

@UB1UB2 Finally.

The bystander at the end 😭💀 A massive Met Police operation took place in Kilburn yesterday, completely clearing the streets of uninsured mopeds, illegal electric scooters, and modified e-bikes. They literally brought a massive flatbed truck to tow them all away! 🚨🛵 While a lot of Londoners are sick of e-bikes flying down the pavements, others think the police should be focusing their resources on bigger crimes. Do you agree with this crackdown, or should they be focusing elsewhere? Let us know your thoughts below!

@MPrinParr Khan… Newsom…Mamdani… Burnham It doesn’t matter where you look - performative theatrical mayors are everywhere. Makes Ken Livingstone look like a capitalist delivery champion.

focussed on the reporting of decline rather than reversing the decline classic

@isnit0 @woodasleep @TiceRichard @paulpowlesland Best comeback to a belligerent point yet!

@woodasleep @TiceRichard Great! @paulpowlesland has done a great job

Dreadful proposal for new city over 45,000 acres near Cambs Reform are against this terrible idea digitaleditions.telegraph.co.uk/data/2398/read…

@MPrinParr Yup. Although UK doesn’t have a great history on reservoirs. Also we could have cheap desalination plants in key locations instead. Potentially cheaper. It’s crazy that the London Plant is not used. High energy costs kill off great things.

I’m convinced there’s an opportunity to build many smaller reservoirs using fast modern techniques (autonomation, DFM, rock banks, TBMs) to make them modular, collapse the cost and timelines and lease them to water companies and farms. particularly in the UK and US. @BitcoinBertie ?

Trump's unhinged post works better as a rap song.

@shoottheducks @SimonMagus @Fox_Claire Oh yes they have. Try again my friend and learn from history.

@BitcoinBertie @SimonMagus @Fox_Claire Real rent controls have never been tried

That's affordable housing screwed in Wales then.

Many of us familiar with high performance computing (whether AI, Bitcoin, or a bit of both) have been warning about this for a while. But being right doesn't make this any more palatable. We HAVE to get serious about the UK's energy infrastructure, and start listening to engineers, not to policy wonks. We're a country where firms like @RenewaBlox , seeking to monetize stranded energy and reduce our power costs, are a rarity; we should make them the norm.

@Fox_Claire @SimonMagus I simply do not understand why, these people, knowing the history of failure of Rent Controls - continue to persist with their advocation.

@SimonMagus Quite. And he seemed defensive enough to suggests he knows that is likely to be the outcome

@Paul_SLG Yes. Agreed to. bbc.co.uk/iplayer/help/q… and bbc.co.uk/usingthebbc/te…

@BitcoinBertie “Agreed to”…!

This wasn’t a technical question. I know I can use a VPN. Rather, my point was that I already subscribe to the BBC - I pay the licence fee - and I was logged into my account. So why does the BBC expect me to pay again just because I’m on holiday?

the UK is struggling because it stopped being a capitalist country and became a socialist country.

This is not talked about enough by Westminster. Britain's colossal energy prices destroyed our industries. Now, they're preventing growing industries from scaling here. Access to cheap energy shaped the industrial powers of the past. Access to cheap energy now will shape the AI superpowers of the future. Technological advancements are rapid. Why aren't our politicians doing all they can to support the growth of future industries?

@thomasforth @MPrinParr On (1) absolutely not. In the real world, try getting a 500 home or 10ha employment scheme delivered. You’ll soon find out it’s deeply entrenched. On (2) do you mean in respect of CPO?

@MPrinParr I don't think local government in England really does have this power for two reasons, defined in UK law. 1/ Planning permission is highly separated from local government politics. 2/ Despite some recent changes, the old "Hope Value" rules apply which blocks land acquisitions.

every level of UK gov is silly. they have the ability to make money from nothing, simply by granting planning permission on land they already own, thereby increasing the value of the land on their balance sheet. 10x this by granting permissions for link infrastructure that connects their land. they can the sell the adjacent land for more money / develop it and sell it and use that cash to build the infra. rinse repeat. we used to do this Hong Kong all the time. HK still does it m, and so does Japan.

@UnderSneege @_pedunculate @s8mb It would be weird to agree with 100pc of people’s opinions 100pc of the time. Not even you agree with yourself over time sometimes 🤣

He’s great on loads of stuff as well as being a funny poster / troll. Blocked me (I think) a few years back for insisting migration control before supply side reform on housing was the more sensible politics. Obviously he can block who he wants but it’s just a shame when he’s on form and in the trenches (like today) and I can’t aggressively agree with him.

Sam Bowman please unblock me so I can like and RT this post a thousand times @s8mb Sam Saaaaaaaam
