In conjunction with the rise in energy, duties and prices.
- Comment on Pornhub to restrict access for UK users from February 1 day ago:
Right, and Pornhub, like all mainstream porn websites, carries an RTA flag that trips all standards compliant content blockers. The black-market sites which the government is pushing traffic to do not.

It doesn’t. Its a metaphor.

I glare at them until they leave.

Fish and Chips is Jewish food, and became popular in Britain with the coincidence of a large wave of Dutch Jews arriving in the country and the development of a rail network sufficient to deliver fresh fish anywhere in the country.

Tyrannosaur was directed by Paddy Considine.
- Comment on BBC could soon make programmes for release first on YouTube under deal 1 week ago:
It was frozen for many years (totally not revenge by the government for Hutton), and hasn’t risen enough since being unfrozen. Meanwhile, their burden has increased as now S4C, local democracy reporters at local newspapers, and most of the World Service are funded from the licence fee.
There was a move to increase earnings, so BBC Studios was merged with the commercial Worldwide subsidiary and for the first time was permitted to seek commissions outside the BBC, producing for commercial channels.
The Doctor Who thing is more individual. It was a deal signed when streamers were flashing a lot of cash around, and BBC Studios was able to leverage Bluey’s massive popularity to get a major investment in Doctor Who.
But streaming tie-ups aren’t new - see Ripper Street and The Last Kingdom last decade, and they themselves are just continuations of the co-production arrangements that have been important to British production for decades.

- Comment on [meme] choochoo 2 weeks ago:
In Britain, that’s the knock-on effect of two world wars thrashing the infrastructure, and 50 years of managed decline afterwards. Engineering needs to be done, and it’s nights, weekends and holidays.
- Comment on UK government should end rail outsourcing ‘racket’, says union 3 weeks ago:
Realistically it’d be swapping one racket for another. Back in BR days it wasn’t unheard of for a depot to send an empty train out to a siding to wait several hours and come back just to give 3 extra union men a full shift.

If you can’t spell the name, you do NOT get an opinion on who is qualified to be leader.
See how easy it is to make arbitrary silliness?
- Comment on The Titanic, Sinclair C5 and Brexit: the Museum of Failure is coming to the UK 5 weeks ago:
Bunker fires were very common and it didn’t in any way compromise the structure. If anything it kept the ship afloat and uprignt longer by necessitating the use of coal from the starboard first, resulting in a port list.
- Comment on Sweet ancestry 5 weeks ago:
Half is fair enough as that implies some cultural mixing, but fractions lower than that are just “look at me” bullshit.

If America is so great, why are you all trying to claim you’re someone else?
