I really don’t understand that - if you have 20 SREs why would you need to be on call more than 3 weeks a year? If you do get called frequently then you should probably be working shifts anyway.

It’s an amazing butterfly effect - how something seemingly small - Angus Deyton doing hookers and blow - led to Boris Johnson’s popularity on a panel show which led to his London mayorship and antics which endeared him enough to be able to

A high profile campaign during Brexit was about U.K. fishing. U.K. fishing rights were sold by local fishermen to large multinational companies who are more economically efficient (at least in the short term - sustainability is a bad word)

Farmers by and large supported Brexit in line with the rest of the country, especially once you factor in age. The single clearest indicator was age. Old people - million who have died since 2016 - voted out, young people who have to live w

When I close my browser, I get asked “are you sure”, seems crazy not to have that protection with brexit once the details had been worked out. In the end we had an opportunity to reverse it, in 2017 and 2019, but said “no”

Liz Truss was Lib Dem early in her life but then went Tory later. Most of farage’s party are ex-Tories. Peoples views change, and parties change. The Tory party of today is very different to that of thatcher, just like the republicans today

This is a completely separate problem. Not as bad as in the U.K. but you still have the situation where wages low down in many industries are so poor you can’t afford to take the job unless your parents subsidise you (either they live close

Americans (and yea Canada is basically America) love to point out their vast empty plains. Truth is that there are millions living in areas which rail makes sense but it doesn’t happen because they don’t want it.

In the U.K. it’s grey, you can choose a service from London to Manchester that’s far faster than pre privatisation for a reasonable off peak fee, or you can choose a slower service with a change at crewe which costs far less than under Brit
