It’s just measuring amount of change in rateable value, some properties may have only small increases but many will have larger increases, hence the “fine” to “fucked” scale.
The one that closed may have been making a lot less money than the one that’s still open but this is a fixed cost not related to turnover so if you make small amounts and turned a small profit, even a small increase in fixed costs can put you under.

- Comment on Two Palestine Action Hunger Strikers at Risk of Imminent Death 4 days ago:
Slim, but it’s worth noting that the last time hunger strikes were used by a group in the UK was the IRA in the 70s and 80s and rather than risk the bad press of allowing people to die in prison, the government largely agreed to the striker’s demands.

- Comment on How fake admiral Jonathan Carley was caught by sword and rare medals 5 days ago:
This is so weird for someone to do. Why cosplay as a soldier in the first place and then why decide to dress up as a rear admiral there’s only about 10 rear admirals active in the RN at the moment and it’s reasonable to expect anyone in the navy to know them all, even if they’re only junior. Even including retirees there’s only about 20 or so living people who could wear this uniform so he was bound to get caught out.
If you’re determined to pretend to be an officer in the navy then just go as a captain or commander or something where you could reasonably go unnoticed but even so, the veterans I know can immediately spot someone out of place.
I just fail to see what he got out of all this apart from being able to stand at the front on remembrance day parades and not even be able to march in time!
- Comment on Are UK buy-to-let landlords dying out – and should we care? 5 days ago:
The tax increase is 2% so the increase of £2500 means they’re already paying £125,000 a year in tax on their properties. That would put them in the top rate of tax at 47% if its their sole income which means they’re still going to be raking in more than £130,000 a year minus other costs.
In other words, they’re a greedy arse hole and I don’t care that he “can’t afford” to lose a little money.

- Comment on London coroner calls for circumcision safeguards after baby death 1 week ago:
I never understood why circumcision is considered A-OK but mutilating female genitals is, rightly, considered to be appalling.
Both practices should be banned except where medically necessary.

Well, pretty much every animal is merely a digestive tract with ever more elaborate ways of funneling food in one end and get rid of the waste at the other.
- Comment on UK is ‘unwelcoming’ and ‘racist’ for overseas NHS health workers, warns top doctor 2 weeks ago:
It’ll always be someone else’s fault. If they somehow manage to “solve” the migration crisis (as they see it) and remove all the foreigners, it’ll then become the benefit scroungers or the disabled or the LGBTQ+ community or the academics or the creative or people who wear glasses etc etc etc.
Their rhetoric will always point the finger at “the other”

- Comment on Do we already have all the components? 2 weeks ago:
The concept you’re groping around I think is “the adjacent possible”.
You can’t create the battery without understanding chemical potential energy and several other concepts. Imagine a house with infinite rooms branching off one another, you can’t reach a distant room without travelling through the adjoining rooms.
The basic building blocks of everything already exist and have done since the first fraction of a second after the big bang, the key is to navigate a route through to the adjoining room.
Think of the inventions of Da Vinci, many of those were considered vastly ahead of their time, he was able to “see” forward into other rooms not adjacent but there didn’t exist the technology to realise his dreams of flight etc.

And the coal bunkers were on fire before she even left port but safety concerns were ignored by her owners because of the bad PR of delaying to deal with it. This may have contributed to the rapid sinking as the structure was damaged before she set to sea and broke apart faster than she might otherwise have done.

- Comment on It's the truth! 2 weeks ago:
Red Onions (and every other not-red food that’s called red) is older in the English language than the word “purple”.
Purple is a relatively modern concept in English having first been used circa 900AD. Before that basically everything towards the magenta part of the spectrum was all just called red.
See also Orange, the colour is named after the fruit and not the other way round.
