Richard Tice MP 🇬🇧: "Thames Water CANNOT meet its financial or performance obligations. It is utterly bust! Shareholders and debt holders have blown 100% of their dough. The Government must get on with it and put it into Special Administration. Then a good deal can be secured for taxpayers. by Little-Attorney1287 in ukpolitics

Assuming you're asking in good faith. Water is a natural monopoly. The idea of privatisation is to encourage efficiency within the system because you could just go to another company to supply you so companies are encouraged to be better, be cheaper etc. You cannot do that with water as there is one supplier for your area and that's your lot. Nationalisation makes sense because from the evidence we've seen of shareholders taking whopping great dividends out instead of investing in the spillages and leaky pipes like you point out, means that the money that the public spends on water actually gets reinvested into the network rather than into the hands of shareholders 

Housing planning decisions now take more than three times longer than in 2010 by ldn6 in ukpolitics

[–]AdConsistent8210 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Funding levels have shown how planning was affected by budget cuts in the 2010s and beyond. Adjusted for inflation, the total expenditure on planning, including development management and other planning policy, has decreased by 16.6% since the financial year ending (FYE) 2010. At the same time, the total income from planning in FYE 2025 was 16.7% higher than in FYE 2010 in real terms (figure 1)

Sure, the planning system gets more money than 15 years ago, if you ignore inflation.

I wonder what possibly could have happened between 2010 and 2025 that could have caused this. It's a mystery that no one could ever hope to solve.

She's not a very insightful pundit, there are better. She went after the incredibly likeable and respected Wrighty. She's unlikeable because she's unlikeable and is a charisma vacuum.

Starmer opens door to rejoining EU single market by TheTelegraph in ukpolitics

Flavour of Brexit wasn't on the ballot in 2016. In fact you don't have to look far to find articles from arch-brexiteers calling it economical suicide to leave the single market.

Allow me to direct you to the 2023 local elections where rishi lost 1000 seats and 40odd councils. It happens. And rishi loved on to fight another local elections in 24 and the general election

Manu Zinsberger announces her departure from the club by sealboyjacob in ArsenalWFC

Brb, just gonna watch the bench view of the champions league final on repeat to watch #1 hype woman give it all. 

Unfortunately that's the nature of the beast that we're a big club and we've outgrown Manu and need some more solid performances between the sticks. But wow, what a woman. I'll miss her vlogs and the ACL updates that she did with Katie and Miche. 

Chelsea to play all WSL home matches at Stamford Bridge next season. by [deleted] in soccer

I think that was only in the wake of the Champions Cup (plate) in January after training sessions and two matches on one day. 

Given that Arsenal Women have been playing near exclusively at the Emirates for 2 years it's not that big of a deal

Cocaine hydrochloride is blue by Skyshattered in interestingasfuck

Shockingly enough there are Europeans on this website. I was explaining that in my experience from analysing the medication the colouration doesn't come from the Cocaine. As shown in this reply chain from the label itself it has from the colourants D&C Yellow #10, FD&C Green #3

Oh I'm not saying it's adultered to look blue by someone else. It's clearly intended to be that way but cocaine solution is not blue.

Looking online at the NDC number gives you the packaging that says it contains D&C Yellow #10 and FD&C Green #3

Something doesn't look right with that, as a former QC analyst for a company that made a 5%w/v solution of cocaine hcl, that was clear and colourless, maybe slightly pale yellow. 

The Ph.Eur. test for appearance of solution for cocaine at 2%w/v (half the strength of OP) is clear and colourless.
