You're probably right the terms would be harder. Personally I don't care. Even if it means I have to pay more in taxes. At least we'd be part of a progressive union, even if its run by bureaucrats. It may seem small minded bu

There's a good chance that Liz Truss will be our next PM. Which, coupled with the opinion polls on the Conservatives makes me believe that there's a good chance that Labour will win the next election. This I think could lead to a

I found it interesting when reading your post, because I was also looking at Google to learn more about the factory. You can see it yourself[0] the fireworks factory was closed and abandoned in the 70s. A fairly important detail that was mi

Tell that to the people whose homes have been destroyed. or perhaps all the people that have died in these conditions. It's not typical in the UK. Imagine if you had to emergency evacuate your home for some natural disaster that you&#x

Even more unusual are the grass fires so close to London. Seeing people's homes destroyed is so tragic, particularly as I bet they would never have thought this would be an issue here in the UK. Sky News have some astounding[0] footage

Indeed, I agree with you on this and also read this report recently. But I think we're going down a bit of a rabbit hole here. My initial post was merely a comment on the unfortunate human condition currently, with the undertone of my

Yeah agreed. It's a shame though isn't it. Imagine a world where hundreds of billions of US defense spending could go into public services like free healthcare.

judging by recent political events in the UK and the US combined with the level of obesity and overconsumption in these nations I'd say we're already there

Perhaps my reply was a bit too defensive - I’ll use the excuse that it’s uncharacteristically hot where I am and I can’t sleep. I do feel like you were being derogatory in your labelling of this as a Hippie ideology which I still think isn’

My country was actually raped, pillaged and involuntarily ruled by the British for a very long time. I am no child of a WW2 vet. There is a world outside of the United States of America. Please take your derogatory chat elsewhere. In anothe

I wonder, of the many hundreds of billions of dollars the US spends on defense every year, how much goes to those military operations to which you linked.

Perhaps with that attitude. There's a lot of amazing things humans have accomplished that were once thought impossible. We are likely very, very early on in the anthropocene. Thousands of years from now I'm optimistic that the wor

It's definitely a land of fantasy today, I agree but one can always hope that maybe one day instead of killing each other we'd learn to live together and work together. Imagine how much more productive we'd be. To be honest I

When I lived in NL, I took a trip to Maastricht which is a beautiful place right in the South and tried a popular local dish - Zoervleis[0] which is traditionally horse meat. It was delicious. It always amuses me that when I tell this story

I am similar to you, in that most of the time I know what I want to listen to... but it is worth considering that your personal use case of Spotify might not be the same as everyone else's. Spotify is doing pretty well making money so

I could not do it. I was born in Delhi but moved to the UK early on. Even the UK is too hot for me... I've been thinking about moving to Scandinavia.
