@wallaceme His art always did a much better job at setting the true scale of 40k, in a way that my brain can’t get with any other. A real shame to lose him.

@tomhfh @albieamankona I’ve definitely said it before but I got to ask the lead bridge designer for HS2 if brick bridges like the one on the right was more expensive than concrete bridges like the one on the left.
He said not really, a few percentage points in it, and sometimes it is even cheaper.

@AaronBastani Geert Wilders was banned by Jacqui Smith as Home Secretary, so your Bardella and Holleubecq comparison already happened two decades ago.

@TrishNoone @lewis_goodall I mean I’m a nobody on the internet, he doesn’t need to respond to me, I just don’t remember him saying anything in the past and thought it would be interesting if there had been some consistency.

[Alexander Bullock @APDBullock]

@lewis_goodall What are your views on the British government banning right wing people, like Eva Vlaardingerbroek?

[Alexander Bullock @APDBullock]

@AaronBastani @DanNeidle The minute you have a wealth tax, everyone needs to do an inventory of everything they own annually, even if they have no tax to pay. That’s also a great way to piss a lot of people off.

@AlbionAlexander @ClaireCoutinho There is a “de facto ban” in the sense that properties can’t be designed to have air con, but it can be retrofitted. However it isn’t always that easy to retrofit, especially in blocks of flats.

[Alexander Bullock @APDBullock]

@AaronBastani 3% would be way to high surely compared to other countries, Geneva for example is under 1% and that’s with a much lower rate of income tax as well and no CGT.
If you only spend 4 months a year in the U.K. anyway getting it down below 3 months wouldn’t be very tricky.

[Alexander Bullock @APDBullock]

@lawrencenewport @MrHarryCole I mean a short answer is because EIS and SEIS investments have so many tax advantages (e.g. CGT exemptions) that they’re still worth doing.

[Alexander Bullock @APDBullock]

@DanNeidle Would there be a separate allowance (presumably yes if there are different rates) so would there be incentives try to realise smaller capital gains over a longer period of time? Would that have any major second order effects?

@JakeArkwright @TerribleMaps You can have them open whilst it’s raining easier, I have both in my house and those that open out are warping and twisting more because of precisely this.

Windows that open inwards are also easier to clean the outside of.

@tomhfh If it was just a darker blue it would be so much nicer, and show up far less dirt.

[Alexander Bullock @APDBullock]

@AaronBastani @DanielJHannan Because when it’s owned by a foreign state their goal is the same as a private company: to maximise long-term profit.
When it’s owned by our state, that goal changes.
Whether or not that is a good thing is a separate matter, but they are clearly different.

@CptHastings1916 Genuinely one of the major selling points of Wetherspoons, I can hear my friends because they don’t have music.

[Alexander Bullock @APDBullock]

@HCH_Hill If a party thinks it will lose, they change leader, that’s perfectly logical.
What would be far more telling would be the number of PMs who come in without an election and go on to lose the next election. In which case it’s just 2 for the last 30 years.

[Alexander Bullock @APDBullock]

@Louise_m_perry @SalemLola Could there be some time bias? As in it takes longer to have three children than one, and salaries tend to also increase as you get older.

[Alexander Bullock @APDBullock]

@whatisnuclear @adamscrabble I remember thinking a while ago that having a series of nuclear powered ships plugged into the grid would make building, maintaining and decommissioning much more straightforward, as each of those things could be done in one place and not need to move, it’s the ships that move.

[Alexander Bullock @APDBullock]

@GHWTowler Not my favourite (it looks like it will fall over) but at least it’s actually building something. Oh and the inside pictures actually looked quite nice if I remember.
Considering what happened to Euston, I would chalk this up as fine.

[Alexander Bullock @APDBullock]

@AaronBastani If it look worse in the summer sun than the current one does in the winter rain, there truly is no hope.

[Alexander Bullock @APDBullock]

@HopeNotHate68 @DarkStuffVideo @Sargon_of_Akkad @ZoeJardiniere Oh I meant the total area per capita over time, as that would also be affected by new builds.
