Ffs.

@honestdan07 @Artemisfornow Err no, just NO. Because we have a welfare state. This means either I buy goods or services from you or I/we pay you to do nothing. The exportation of industrial capacity is absolute national suicide.

@Artemisfornow Why not instead of protecting the old guard, get china to build factories in the UK and remove tariffs for Chinese vehicles, solar energy systems, batteries. Eventually Chinese vehicles will over take and kill the old guard makers, so beat others to it and get china on board.

Brilliant news taxpayers… we’re effectively giving £360 MILLION + to private Indian firm Tata to subsidise a battery plant in the UK Not because it benefits the taxpayer but because they said if we didn’t then they would move to Spain. Stakeholder blackmail. Nice 🤡

@Artemisfornow Given the damage that Tata Communications and Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) caused at M&S Co-op and JLR, the U.K. government should have nationalised all TATA interests in the U.K.

@SeddSezz How it should be done:

🚨Reeves confirms £560 charge for drivers She's implementing new tax charges and updates to Vehicle Excise Duty fees this spring, with costs rising for almost all road users. Some highly polluting motorists will pay as much as £5,690 to just use the road. Will any additional road tax be used to fix the appalling state of our roads? We once had the best highways in Europe, but we have fallen far. Taxing motorists is restricting their freedom of movement.

@PaulEmbery @sophielouisecc I think it’s perfect. You might want to think about what your vote actually means.

This is not a serious way of doing politics. There will be many in Green constituencies who did not vote Green, and many in Reform constituencies who did not vote Reform. No government should set public policy with the purpose of punishing or rewarding an entire constituency on the grounds of which candidate it returned at the polls. Reform should withdraw this stupid commitment pronto.

@Lewis_Brackpool f a f o

I may not agree with Green voters, but deliberately placing deportation centres in areas that vote against you as political punishment is vindictive and counterproductive. You don’t win people over by threatening them. It’ll also put people in serious danger.

Ok, @UKLabour genuine question: Can you name 5 benefits to British society that Islam has provided us with? No, maybe one or two? Now can you list the downsides of Islamic immigration to the U.K. and west in general? (P.s. Muslims bloc voting for Labour is a downside)

@BurnsideWasTosh The UK’s most expensive and destructive politician ever. Miliband makes Thatcher look like a toddler with a plastic hammer. The kind of person who when I was at school, we would describe as an utter sp@stic.

As I said, the civil war in Labour is going to be gloriously unedifying over the next 2 weeks. More leaks than Polanski drinking soup. x.com/i/status/20506…

@ArchRose90 And again:

Ed Miliband now is accused of “covering up” official evidence and data showing his Net Zero plan will increase bills. Before and during the general election, Labour promised to cuts bills by up to £300, the documents he has hidden show the opposite. A dishonest government.

Tres años pagando. 36 cuotas de 680€. 24.480€ de mi bolsillo. Capital amortizado del piso: 1.940€. Le debo al banco 178.060€. Casi lo mismo que el primer día. — ¿Cómo es posible? Porque nadie te explica cómo funciona realmente una hipoteca francesa. Que es el sistema que usa el 99% de los bancos en España. Y funciona así: El primer año tu cuota de 680€ se divide: — Intereses: 598€ — Capital: 82€ El banco cobra primero. Siempre. Todo. Y al capital le toca lo que sobra. El año 15: — Intereses: 340€ — Capital: 340€ Por fin la mitad. El año 28: — Intereses: 47€ — Capital: 633€ Ahora sí amortizan de verdad. Cuando ya casi has terminado. Lo que el banco nunca te dice en la firma: La mitad de tu hipoteca la pagas en intereses. No 64.000€. En muchos casos son 80.000€. 90.000€. Más. Dependiendo del tipo y el plazo. Si vendes el piso en los primeros 10 años habrás pagado cientos de miles en cuotas y seguirás debiendo casi todo el capital. Si amortizas anticipadamente el banco aplica primero a las cuotas finales. Las que ya eran casi todo capital de todas formas. No a las primeras. No a los intereses que ya pagaste. Los intereses ya los cobró. Esos no se devuelven. Lo que sí puedes hacer y casi nadie hace: — Pedir el cuadro de amortización completo antes de firmar. No el resumen. El cuadro. Fila por fila. — Amortizar capital desde el primer año. Aunque sean 100€ extra al mes. En los primeros años cada euro ahorrado en capital ahorra 3 en intereses futuros. — Negociar el plazo hacia abajo. 20 años en vez de 30 puede ahorrarte 40.000€ reales. Con cuotas solo un 25% más altas. — Revisar si compensa cambiar a tipo fijo antes de que suban más los tipos. Me firmé una hipoteca de 180.000€. Y en realidad me firmé una de 244.800€. La diferencia no estaba en letra pequeña. Estaba en un cuadro que nadie me puso encima de la mesa. Y que yo nunca pedí. Porque no sabía que existía. Ahora lo sabes tú.

Me firmé una hipoteca de 180.000€. 30 años. Cuota: 680€ al mes. Me senté esa noche a hacer los números reales. 680€ × 12 meses × 30 años. Total pagado: 244.800€. Vale. 64.000€ de intereses. Asumible. El banco me lo había explicado así. El banco me lo había vendido así. Firmé sin hacer más preguntas. Tres años después un amigo contable me pregunta: — ¿Sabes cuánto capital has amortizado ya? — Calculo que unos 7.000€ ¿no? Se ríe. Me enseña el cuadro de amortización que el banco nunca me puso delante. 👇

@fatmogs1 @PeterDClack @Lord_Talbot64 That’s it. One systems engineer would have this on red flag of disposal against initial requirements.

@StratifyOrg @PeterDClack @Lord_Talbot64 Exactly, 17 trackers, 4 consultants, 3000 meetings, constant scope changes, etc. Yet that process has ended up with wind turbines the designer took no account of disposal or recycling after life expired. It should but clearly didn’t, the taxpayer will pick up the tab.

On January 1, 2026, the European wind industry implemented a self-imposed landfill ban on turbine blades. This has left many countries scrambling silently for solutions. Landfill has become the next unwanted crisis, yet it's the conversation no one wants to have. Germany, Finland, and the Netherlands have banned blade landfills, and so for a time they are being exported to countries like the UK or France, where they can still be buried. Banning waste like turbine blades doesn't make it vanish though—it just puts it on a truck to a neighbour's backyard. Low-scale solutions are often cited as the answer, like turning blades into noise barriers, bridges or playground equipment. How do you turn 43 million tons of blade waste from turbines into park benches and koala crossings? How many park benches does one planet actually need? Modern recycling for glass and carbon fibre often requires pyrolysis (high-heat chemical decomposition). To recycle a 'green' blade, you must burn an immense amount of energy to break down the resins. We are trading a physical waste problem for a new energy demand problem. People love a quirky solution that highlights the absurdity of the problem—like the image of a massive 80-metre blade being used as a single, very long bus shelter. Even 'green' solutions have a physical footprint that can't be wished away by a spreadsheet.

@fatmogs1 @PeterDClack @Lord_Talbot64 That therein lies the British disease. Dear civil and mechanical engineers with a systems approach project overcheck. Will this work and how can this be made to work? Crack on.

@StratifyOrg @PeterDClack @Lord_Talbot64 H&S would kill most ideas.

@fatmogs1 @PeterDClack @Lord_Talbot64 p=f/a Yes, fair, I didn’t think of that. If the blades make the prefabricated load bearers and then an over central trail?! The idea was, can something be made in a factory to suit river crossings etc A virtue out of necessity perhaps.

@StratifyOrg @PeterDClack @Lord_Talbot64 Point load of horses is pretty big

@BWallArthur Utter bollox Britain hasn’t had a decent government since the war. The napoleonic wars

I can pinpoint the month Britain started to circle the drain as a country June 2016. The Russian funded Brexit con We became more divided. More hateful & more erratic It's crazy that foreign funded Farage is now seen by some to be the saviour of 🇬🇧 when he caused the decline.

Thousands of businesses are going to the wall. The government did this. Pretty simple, state is too big and top heavy - it demands tonnes in taxes to fund itself. Still nowhere near enough. It carries too many liabilities(charity cases) and doesn’t manage its assets. The energy prices alone break the economy. These are like a stuck-on brake on your car. Dressed up as environmentalism, it absolutely is Marxist control. Unfortunately the brake is running hot and will torch the entire vehicle - the analogy holds. Wealth is what remains after mandatory bills are paid. There are only two categories to worry about : energy and a roof - either via mortgage or rent. Government policy determines both. The minimum wage is an acknowledgment by the government that their energy and housing policies have failed. This is why @PeterMcCormack is correct and every other reply is wrong.

Apparently, the minimum wage is socialism, taxes are theft, energy bills are Marxism, and Britain is five minutes from becoming Venezuela because a coffee shop can’t survive unless teenagers are paid in cash and gratitude. This isn’t economics; it’s a man discovering business costs exist and deciding the welfare state did it. He replaces economic reasoning with ideology and misrepresents how labour markets and public policy actually work. One senses he hasn't even read the books he's just recommended everybody read. #BadBusinessman

I used to quite enjoy political writing. Applying your intellect to complex problems can be edifying and engaging. But we are way, way past intellectualising. It's no more complicated than the fact that third-worlders have no business being in the West, there is no integrating them, multiculturalism cannot be made to work, the threat they pose is existential, and there is no solution other than removing them. Anything else is just procrastination. As such, there is not a lot left to say on this matter. There is a daily torrent on news articles that support this conclusion. It is unarguable. Even at my most contrarian, I simply do not see a viable alternative course of action - and anybody who's paying attention has arrived at a similar conclusion. The cat is out of the bag. This is something like progress in that we can at least say it out loud now. Back when Twitter was Twitter, the average right winger saying what is said today on this platform would not last five minutes. Your account would be zapped with no appeal. There's a small army of people on here this happened to. There were certain things that simply could not be said. You could not, for instance, make reference to the fact Pakistanis married their own cousins, even though it was a well documented phenomena. When I spoke about it, Zoe Gardner called me an "actual Nazi". It resulted in a thirty day suspension due to mass reporting. A lot has changed since then. even if I go the extra mile to be controversial, nobody bats an eyelid. In fact, it's harder than ever to be controversial on this platform. People are now openly talking about the issues without fear. Most of the left have scurried over to Bluesky having lost their power of veto over what can be publicly debated. Reality has become far harder for them to deny. In the face of this, the energy now goes into political lobbying rather than direct discourse policing. They can't have this site shut down but they will seek to criminalise certain opinions. Too bad for them that this won't work either. It's reached critical mass now. You can't put the noticing genie back in the bottle, and the problems are too visible to ignore. Their denialism has never looked so ridiculous. So this sounds like progress, doesn't it? But, of course, X is a bubble of its own, and outside of this platform, we influence very little. To a very large extent, we are talking to ourselves. The seriousness of our predicament is not realised out in the country. If you go out into the unspoiled parts of the country, you'll see election placards for the Lib Dems and the Green Party. A very large contingent of this country is completely insulated from the horrors we see on X on a daily basis. Much of the electorate has absolutely no concept of how bad things are and we are no closer to an awakening, and nowhere near a party political solution. In fact, in terms of party political solutions, we are regressing. Reform's polling is still holding up but it fields foreign candidates and prominent party figures are moslems. It is little more than a reconstituted civic nationalism conservative party that simply doesn't understand the gravity of our predicament and doesn't have the minerals to do anything about it if it did. For the time being Reform is the de-facto anti-establishment vote, and it's completely meaningless. Meanwhile, all attempts at an alternative have fallen flat, not least because the right is profoundly unserious and lazy. While people are quick to chastise me for "black pilling", they cannot point to a worthwhile investment of energy where party politics is concerned, and as far as developing an intellectually coherent party with research based policy, I have comprehensively lost that argument and I'm essentially blacklisted for even suggesting it. Consequently, I have lost all interest in party politics, and have no faith whatsoever that there is even a political solution. In the meantime we are powerless because we are not democracy, and politicians simply do not wish to confront the mess they have made. They will talk about anything but the real problems. As such, the only function of political writers now is to chart the decline and point to the daily enshittification of virtually everything - but when the only audience for that is people like you who bear witness to the exact same horrors, the entire process is redundant, and it's hard to muster any enthusiasm for writing about it. You can talk about solutions but to implement solutions you either need power or politicians who care enough to act, but we have no chance of either. Anger becomes apathy and despair. You can feed yourself with whatever copium keeps you in the game, but we all know on an instinctive level that the game is up.

@PeterDClack @Lord_Talbot64 Again:

Millions must be deported, but that's not happening. Best case scenario, we get a Reform government which has pledged to remove 650,000 but will be lucky to manage half of that because it is no that easy to get the gears of government turning. The disorder, protest and crime is now baked in. There is now only voluntary self-segregation and sectarianism. Any notion of functioning liberal democracy is dead. Multiculturalism has failed entirely. There is only decline and civil unrest while the regime buries its head in the sand. It has no idea what is happening, and doesn't want to know. There will be no electoral solution. The country is too divided. Even when the orcs are running amok, there will still be rural shires in a state of complete denial who will vote for liberals. There will be no great awakening. Even South Africa in its current state still has liberals. The key to turning our economic fortunes around lies in rebuilding our energy infrastructure, but it's too badly degraded to turn it around inside a decade even if we started now. In the meantime, we just become poorer and less mobile, watching our assets and savings lose most of their value. The retirement you planned for isn't happening. All of your income will go on food and shelter, and nothing else. If you're on the bottom rung, even a room in a HMO will be out of your price range. You'll be looking for campsites in semi-rural boondocks. As the economy continues to deteriorate the violence, crime and sectarianism will only get worse, as will the two-tier policing. Expect full scale anarcho-tyranny. You'll want to move further away from cities, but they'll price your old car off the road and ration your petrol. Even if you get a Reform government, it will collapse within three years and be ousted - replaced with a compliant regime approved party. Don't hold out for a second wave of populism because it's not happening. If there's any danger of that they will establish a government of national unity and abolish elections under emergency powers. Think lockdown+rationing. Democracy is already dead. You are not voting your way out of this.

@levelsio Alternatively, can you leave your bedroom door ajar?

@levelsio I have this answer…. A type of mvhr, single room.

I still haven't solved the CO2 bedroom challenge You open the window and you wake up from a 6am garbage truck or barking dogs and sunlight You close it, you suffocate in 1200 ppl at 5am I guess you really need some mini tube in your wall with a vent that opens and closed based on internal CO2 but how do I build that?
