@JohnJCrace I see some of you didn’t read her comment or don’t know how council contracts are awarded for decades with no re-tendering process, price rises accepted with no accountability, comparison or negotiation 🤷‍♂️

@dnwiebe @Arden_2210 The second line defines the numbers that apply to the formula. It’s not a separate formula, it’s a necessary piece of the one equation.

@braxcyy Even if we ignore bulgaria and portugal, its really frustrating to distinguish between the directions like this when you dont have the different regions actually touching. How can you have spain and italy as south with france cutting them off like that

@Barwin1986 @braxcyy Predates it by centuries: look at a mid-19th century map of Europe. Germany and Italy not yet condensed out of their clouds of co-lingual statelets, Austria-Hungary never did digest its conquests.... (See Norman Davies' Vanished Kingdoms: the History of Half-Forgotten Europe)

@braxcyy Central Europe emerged when eastern Europeans were ashamed to be called as such, now it's cool to be an eastern European so popularity of central Europeanism is fading away.

@itsTWENNY @Crazylegs67 @braxcyy The UK and the British Isles are 2 different things. Thats like saying that people say USA instead of North America. Sure, some stupid people might, but they are objectively incorrect. Thats like calling Oceania Australia, only morons say that.

@itsTWENNY @braxcyy Um. You should HEAR Irish-Americans on the suggestion that Ireland is part of the British Isles. There's a reason gov.uk have deprecated the term in political / diplomatic contexts since John Major's government started the talks about talks that led to the GFA...

@alexsbotkin @braxcyy You're assuming the majority have the same level of semantics in this topic as you. You must understand, literally nobody thinks about it this much. Americans don't care about Ireland, they don't bother to differentiate. They literally just call it "The UK".

A genuine pet hate of mine is alt history mappers who call Great Britain “United Kingdom” despite the -United- part of the name only existing because of Ireland.

@P_Soisialach James the 1/6 (aka Jimmy 7.5p in new money) referred to his realms of Scotland and England as "the United Kingdom around a century before the 1707 Act of Union

@CliveWismayer The British Government also said the rights of Gibraltarians were paramount. >95% of them voted to stay British, and a similar number voted to stay in the EU. So by that reasoning, Brexit should never have happened....

@akicif @drew_carver @Robbie_Reasons @DonkinFaith And now the NHS is overrun with middle managers in jobs surplus to requirements yet the uni party keep throwing billions at it expecting it to improve. Our money! It won’t no matter what Streeting keeps saying.

We need to get rid of a whole host of middle managers and put professionals back in charge of wards and departments. Some of you may be too young to remember matrons but let me assure you the NHS ran much more efficiently.

More myths busted. Historians, politicians & lawyers will tell you Scotland cannot be a colony because a Scot has become Prime Minister - trying to render it an impossibility. I give you exhibit (a) Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington. Born: 1 May 1769 Dublin, Ireland.

@drew_carver @Robbie_Reasons @DonkinFaith Tony Blair's government (1997–2007) significantly increased the number of managers in the NHS as part of a modernization and performance-driven agenda. Wasn’t talking about international market That’s a whole other topic! Re read my post and try and digest it properly. 🙄
