- Comment on 'We can’t sit back and watch’: Former MI6 boss says Britain must get ready for war as Putin threatens Europe 1 week ago:
There was no promise of NATO expansion. Gorbachev himself had said there was no such promise.
Countries previously occupied by the soviets didn’t want a repeat and sought security guarantees by joining NATO, something that they’re entitled to do.
The people got rid of a president who was once looking for closer ties to the EU, then visits Putin and suddenly wanted to get cosier with Russia, doing a complete 180. Let’s also conveniently forget Russia poisoning of the pro-west presidential candidate in 2007. Was that the fault of the west too?
Your comment reeks of Russian propaganda.

We should really just have EU law
About that…
- Comment on More than 1m cars sold in UK each year too big to fit typical parking space 1 week ago:
They really do look very tacky.
I was stuck in Preston Hostpital car park a while ago as I had to wait for someone to try and squeeze their Range Rover into a parking spot that wasn’t designed for such a huge vehicle. It was equally hillarious and frustrating.

Why are our electric costs so high? We’re always hearing how cheap renewables are and how we’re using more renewables than ever, yet our bills keep going up? What gives?

Pint is around 0.5 liter?
Just about, 568ml to be exact.
How much does beer cost in supermarkets in England?
It depends on the beer and the supermarket, but it’s a lot cheaper to buy beer in supermarkets.
Take this 500ml bottle of Peroni in Tesco - it’s £2.75 (or 3 for £6 with loyalty card) - in a pub, 500ml of Peroni will probably be roughly £5, depending where you are in the UK.

I’d have to imagine that the stress and emotional toll is significantly higher for a paediatric oncologist than a bus driver. There’s not so many people that could cope with that.
- Comment on What TV cancellation are you most upset by? 3 weeks ago:
There’s a huge time jump yeah, but I don’t that was the primary reason they didn’t want to continue. It got cancelled after season 3, then resuced by Amazon (Bezos personally loved the show) but then they didn’t renew for season 7 as I don’t think they wanted to commit financially.
- Comment on What TV cancellation are you most upset by? 3 weeks ago:
The expense
A multi-season, high-tense drama series where Gary attempts to expense his lunch through SAP.

A rough visual representation of what ~2500 hectares looks like:
Obviously that’s not where it’ll be, but it gives a sense of scale, as I had absoutetly no idea what 2500 hectares looks like.

- Comment on UK couple fined £1,500 after reporting Channel stowaway found in motorhome 5 weeks ago:
The only issue here is that you’re upset the author hasn’t mentioned why the immigrant entered the country even though that’s not the point of the article. You’re the one with the issue.
Now answer my question.
- Comment on UK couple fined £1,500 after reporting Channel stowaway found in motorhome 5 weeks ago:
Honestly, no idea. To me it’s irrelevant to the story of the couple and the policy. It doesn’t matter if they were a man or a woman, young or old. It’s also irrelevant what their height and weight are, their favourite food or sports are.
Now you answer my question.
- Comment on UK couple fined £1,500 after reporting Channel stowaway found in motorhome 5 weeks ago:
What would it have changed about it if they weren’t included and it just said “an immigrant”?
- Comment on UK couple fined £1,500 after reporting Channel stowaway found in motorhome 5 weeks ago:
Why? The article is about the couple being fined for finding the stowaway after they left the port, the gender, age and reason the stowaway came to the UK is irrelevant to that.
- Comment on UK couple fined £1,500 after reporting Channel stowaway found in motorhome 5 weeks ago:
It’s not, they could have left it out and it wouldn’t have changed anything.
- Comment on UK couple fined £1,500 after reporting Channel stowaway found in motorhome 5 weeks ago:
Why is it relevant to the article about why he came here? The point of the article is that people were fined for reporting him, highlighting the ridiculous policy.
- Comment on Petition Apply for the UK to join the European Union as a full member as soon as possible 5 weeks ago:
These petitions are utterly pointless. Has there ever been a case where something has changed due to one of these petitions?
Also, the government responded to this back in November:
The Government was elected on a manifesto that made clear there will be no return to EU membership. However, we are determined to reset the UK-EU relationship, putting it on a more solid footing.
- Comment on UK couple fined £1,500 after reporting Channel stowaway found in motorhome 5 weeks ago:
Because that’s not the focus of the article, it’s specifically about the policy of fining people who report stowaways.
- Comment on UK couple fined £1,500 after reporting Channel stowaway found in motorhome 5 weeks ago:
All this policy will do is encourage people not to report stowaways. Totally bonkers.
