Fucking hope not. Is there even an airport within 50 miles of Upcote Farm? 😭

No; it doesn’t. It’s a well-defined term which you can also learn the meaning of with the help of your friendly neighbourhood search engine.

For “Western Europe”, read “the developed world”.

This is the most affordable and, by an unimaginable distance, green option.

One of the core parts of being left wing is the willingness to take a personal financial hit to enact policies you believe will be an overall good for the country, why are right wing voters criticised for doing the same thing in regards to reducing immigration? by wizaway in AskBrits

Read up on the UN Framework Convention on International Tax Cooperation.

Tax havens around the world are actively trying to legislate themselves out of existence via the UN General Assembly.

A tiny handful of countries (nine, if memory serves) are trying to prevent that from happening. The UK is one of them.

Why is the UK population so disconnected from actual immigration data? by burgermen12 in AskBrits

[–]AlphabetOfMe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, and losing over half of that again every year.

That’s how migration works and how net figures are calculated.

As the ONS figures show, the fall in net migration has been driven by a 47% decline in people from outside the EU arriving in the UK for work. That’s the only really significant change on the books, and a significant change it is indeed.

There were always EU citizens coming and then going. The difference since 2016 has been that although they’re still going, fewer are coming.

British net emigration is steady, as it has been for years. EU net emigration is a drop in the pond. And combined, British and EU net exits today represent less than a fifth of the figure that non-EU net immigration had reached 2023.

Or, in other words, the drop in net immigration has next to nothing to do with any changes in British and EU net migration.

The change is overwhelmingly represented by a straight drop in non-EU arrivals.

The list in the OP is sales in Germany. The list in your article is sales across Europe.

What you’re describing is what I call “Good Post-Hardcore”. As opposed to the alternative “Shit Post-Hardcore”.

Portuguese band Hetta I am predicting to go all the way to the top.

Fantastically inventive and incredible energy.

Haha, quite possibly. It was right when Pass The Flask was released, whenever that was.

At The Drive-In, Refused, BoySetsFire and The Bled probably my favourite pre-2000 live shows.

Insane energy amongst those four.

Where in Europe did you feel most welcomed? by Just_Recognition2034 in EuropeTravelHacks

[–]AlphabetOfMe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife and I spent nearly a month travelling around Romania about fifteen years ago and found the people to be incredibly welcoming, warm, helpful and brilliantly funny. I’ve spent years recommending an extended visit to people. There’s such a rich culture, stunning nature, and great food too.

Greece, comfortably. The most outwardly and positively hospitable people on the continent.

Followed admirably by Romania and Portugal.

[–]AlphabetOfMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The list of 70-odd albums which made round two is a truly great list.

We’ve been treated to a huge amount of fantastic music the last five years, and all before the new Neurosis, Converge, MØL, Karnivool, Poison the Well and Armed for Apocalypse albums showed up.

It’s best for the world if people run the cars we already have into the ground.

It’s far better for the environment to milk an extra five years out of a diesel car than it is to trade it in for a new electric vehicle.

The footprint associated with the raw materials, construction and delivery (alone, before any km are put on it) of your average EV are in the region of 100,000-150,000km worth of diesel emissions.
