@IsabellaofMar@volcaholic1 Sometimes I feel previous eras of being thrifty was mostly due to economics - my mum who was once insanely thrifty simply shrugs when I tell her to stop being so wasteful, as she has enough resources not to care about such trivial things. Now she hoards from Temu etc.
Depressing.
@LyamWitherow@William83775296@bortinez_ Don't care, you don't live here - should be glad you don't really as you'd prefer a 1950's England where things weren't reported so the "stats look good", but everyone knows it happens.
@William83775296@LyamWitherow@bortinez_ Lyam is probably paid by the Epstein class to spew out right wing propaganda and wind people up... Some people like arguing and rather than get a real job would rather convince people that everyone should be as terrified of normalcy as them.
@LyamWitherow@William83775296@bortinez_ Not really, you might get 1 bad (lazy) cop but generally all reports are taken very seriously.
I know people in the police and they will move you cities away from your abuser getting you a new alias.
Since Jimmy Saville etc there's much less stigma around reporting it.
@LyamWitherow@William83775296@bortinez_ No, its because it's actually reported here.
In the US you report it and they won't even bother logging it depending on skin colour.
In other countries they'll laugh you out of the police station and escort you back to your abuser (husband / partner).
@uncreativetom@ahughes957 Then they went & spoiled it all by slapping traffic lights for a housing development on the A40 and brought the speed limit down.
The rest of the ring road is slip roads or roundabouts.
@Alexx12789@eleanorzjames@LateefSaka So basically they have to live here for 5 ~ 10 years and become settled / ILR... No price is high enough in your mind if a person wasnt born here.
@eleanorzjames@LateefSaka 2/3rd of my engineering graduates would love know how this is possible, they paid 3x more than me & didn't qualify loans / grants from the UK as they were international students.
Some did qualify for loans / grants from their nation country though.
@bj_goodwin@JamieJones77@Conservatives And the subsidies for fossil fuels?!?
Remember, fossil fuels are gone the moment you burn them - renewable infrastructure is an asset which just keeps on producing.
@bigbirdNYC27@PoliticsAndEd In London (UK), bike lanes are generally as wide as emergency service vehicles. Cyclists can clear a route way quicker than gridlocked vehicle traffic although our emergency service vehicles are very much more efficiently sized than US ones.
@loopylooozz@BraddrofliT Their voice changes dramatically though when transitioning? They'll likely sound very much like men due to hormonal changes developing masculine vocal chords.
@TheReckoning1@LizWebsterSBF Not at all. Rishi Sunak, Starmer & Burnham all Turner up to their count against Binface yet Farage is the only one too SCARED to turn up 🤣😂🤣😂.
@TheMoralSpin @jimthegiant By your logic you hate the NHS, the fire service & even public spaces (parks & infrastructure) - it's all socialist.
In the US you're free to live out your dream, you can even find places where there's a monthly charge for a fire service - less socialist.
