The council is Dublin City Council. I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that I don’t think Dublin is in the United Kingdom…
- Comment on British passenger in seat 11A survives India plane crash, reports say 5 days ago:
It’s waaaaaay more likely dude missed his flight and is pulling a stunt compared to be virtually uninjured and walking into a busy area before rescue crews were out.
This would be insane and quite a claim. His brother was on the flight, so either his brother also missed the flight and would be with him, or he saw his brother die in a plane crash and then immediately decides to head to the crash site and fake being in the accident? I mean it’s not impossible but still lol
It’s probably more likely the plane hit a building first, causing it to break up and he was ejected from the aircraft before the huge explosion.

Asking myself the same thing. The video of it going up in a huge fireball, I just assumed everyone onboard and nearby would have been instantly gone.

- Comment on Sizewell C power station to be built as part of UK’s £14bn nuclear investment 1 week ago:
What’s worse is they contract in a fixed price for the power generated which is way higher than renewables can generate it for. So we’re paying more for our electricity.
I guess they do this due to the enormous amount of investment needed to build a nuclear power station, so need some way of guaranteeing returns on it?

Why not all of England’s protected areas?

- Comment on Downing Street ‘exploring plan for digital ID cards’ 1 week ago:
Getting the UK public to be on board with just a digital ID isn’t going to fly
They’re selling it as a tool to fight illegal immigration, so I suspect it’ll go down well with the public.
- Comment on Downing Street ‘exploring plan for digital ID cards’ 1 week ago:
My worry about this idea is that it would be a requirement for you to have the ID on you at all times. I hate the thought that you basically have to have your id on you wherever you go just in case the police stop you. I know realistically you’re likely to have your phone on you anyway but still.
If it’s also a requirement, would would the government have a scheme to help people buy a phone if they can’t afford one?
- Comment on Forceful bike campaigners can undermine UK cycle lane planning, report finds 2 weeks ago:
The study, by Dr Alexander Nurse, a reader in urban planning at the University of Liverpool, found multiple concerns about a “very toxic” and “often abusive” debate about cycling, although this was primarily down to opponents, and often those posting anonymously on social media.
This occasionally went beyond virtual targeting, with one councillor describing having details of their address and family published as a threat, while another respondent said they were followed in the street and their family was abused.
Yeah I don’t think this kind of behaviour is very productive to their aims. People in online spaces can get really unhinged.
It’s hardly surprising that they prefer face to face discussions.
We do need significantly better cycling infrastructure though.
- Comment on Mum locked up in prison after what she did with two Kinder eggs 2 weeks ago:
I used to go to Creamfields and people would walk around with rucksacks full of drugs just casually asking people in the crowd if they wanted to buy some.
Unless she’s got a fucking enormous vagina then she must have been just on the limit for personal use. 3 years is crazy.
- Comment on Mum locked up in prison after what she did with two Kinder eggs 2 weeks ago:
Are you telling me that women don’t have a vagain?

I’m pretty sure the EU mandated this feature.
- Comment on To join Facebook these days, one must record a video selfie 3 weeks ago:
I’d kind of think it would be in their interest to, not because they give a shit about what their end users think, but what their customers (advertisers) think. I’d imagine that advertisers are paying x amount to reach real humans that can spend money, so if it turns out that businesses are paying to advertise to bots then I can’t see them being too happy about that. Not unless they’re upfront with businesses and they tell them that x% of their user base is bots and they’ll only charge them to advertise to real people.
- Comment on To join Facebook these days, one must record a video selfie 3 weeks ago:
I get it. They want to combat bots and potentially even detect if a person is old enough to use the platform. However Facebook has eroded absolutely any trust that there’s no way I’d give them this. Not that I use Facebook anyway.
- Comment on How I discovered my partner was an undercover police officer sent to spy on me 3 weeks ago:
Most countries have intelligence agencies for internal threats. How would you detect and prevent terrorist attacks without them?
- Comment on UK net migration almost halves in 2024, falling to 431,000, ONS estimate 3 weeks ago:
I honestly doubt they will. I think immigration could be 0 but as long as they see stories about brown people and “woke nonesense” then they’ll complain. Ultilmately I think their dream, although they’ll never say it, is that they want to ship any immigrants from the past 30 years away.

- Comment on Opinion: Just ignore all the myths about low-traffic neighbourhoods: they’re popular, effective and here to stay 4 weeks ago:
Thanks. I’m never quite sure what to believe on these schemes, they sound good and have all the right aims but I can never be sure if the complaints against them are just locals that will moan no matter what, or if there’s genuine issues that the local authorities just try to suppress because they want to implement the scheme no matter what.
I dunno what your situation is, but would cycling that previous 7 minute journey be an option? I guess that’s what the scheme tries to promote but understand it’s not always practical.

Does anyone here live in these areas any have any experience of what they’re like?
