@HarryDibbs_ Yeah for sure home rule (more representation in Westminster makes this inevitable imo) but that was the first step to independence for the dominions too, I can’t see Ireland staying in the UK in the long run

@SimpGanassi I don't know if it would have ended in independence without the diaspora to provide a safe exile for radicals tbh. Home Rule would have seemed to me more likely. First minister Parnell etc

In a world with no Great Famine, Ireland’s population today could easily be 15-30 million with HUGE implications for British and European history.
Simon Kuestenmacher@simongerman600
Ireland’s population chart remains a wild one to look at. The country has still not recovered from the Great Famine (1845-52).
English
@HarryDibbs_ I think the independence ship had long since set sail by then tbh, and a bigger population would be a much higher threat if it came to a civil war, as well as weakening the influence of Ulster

@SimpGanassi No great famine? Britain just got 30 million people bigger 😎

Free parking, even for drop off, has huge social costs. Charging almost triple for staying longer than 15 minutes incentivises one to be quick when dropping people off, meaning more people can be dropped off and you don’t miss your flight stuck in a traffic jam

London Stansted Airport drop-off price rises from £7 to £10; £28 for 15-30 minutes. Greedy owners portray it as an environment friendly move. Public transport isn't always possible. It is about higher profits. No regulator will side with customers. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

used to go to the bathroom all the time without a phone before smartphones came around, and yet it now feels like it's an almost insurmountable task
English
it is quite funny how going to the bathroom and finding out I've forgotten my phone feels so strange... as if I'm missing something absolutely *essential* to what I'm doing in there

@DeptfordWife1 I think there’s like one train every half hour that goes to NC? As @richardparke15 pointed out to me it’d take him as long to get there from Didcot 🥲
English
@SimpGanassi Train to New Cross then overground from there
English
I’d love to go but unfortunately getting from my house in south east London to anywhere else in south east London is IMPOSSIBLE

People forget that these kids all ate diets that were loaded with processed foods and seed oils and grew up in homes saturated in cigarette smoke because that's just how the middle class in the 1960s did it. It's literally just calories in/calories out and not being sedentary.

“Our grandparents were eating real food!” Not sure how old your grandparents are but I’m pretty sure a large portion of our grandparents were cooking everything in crisco and margarine.
