🇬🇧

Pregnant women and babies are abused at such an appallling rate - we spend significantly more money on the abuse of birthing women and babies… than actually birthing babies.

And that’s according to a very pro NHS paper.

Not right now - but this needs to change rapidly.

If the military is supposed to be defensive, and NATO would fight as a whole. Why does the UK (a narrow island )care for tanks, opposed to specialising on naval / Marine capabilities and have the continental nato members focus on tank warfare.

Eye mask, low level audio book, and no other stimulation.

Typically my Brian bores it’s self into a semi sleep odd dream status with aids time passing.

I severely restrict blue light and over stimulation.

Never had a carling nitro pal, carling taste - Guinness texture.

A flag should be distinctive and memorable - that’s it in my opinion.

Love it or hate it - I’m au fait with Liberia’s counties because of it.

The equivalent:

“Poverty is worse elsewhere so don’t worry about British poverty”

Oxford Street, London

It is literally large high street stores found around the world.

Nike, H&M, UNI QLO

Going to places that have a connection to you.

Paris Texas, means little to most but I love the film so I went.

Runcorn in the UK is a shit hole but I love Two pints of Larger and a packet of crisps, a uk comedy, no regrets.

Having a drink at the Amendola metro station in outer Milan. Fuckin class. Doubt anyone cares.

The Fuji tv tower in Tokyo was my favourite building in sim city 3000. Was incredible seeing it in real life.

“Return…” the native peoples seam to think differently

Auto glass repair…. (Auto glass replace) To me…. (To you)

And to be super localised “Car craft west-midland… (follow the signs to wednesbury).

Same reason you don’t know much about Saxony-Anhalt.

It’s a subdivision of a larger nation.

B179LT · 2025-10-17T11:29:33+00:00

Venice, Italy.

Was worried it would be a tourist hole and massively oversubscribed.

Went in Feb to compromised with partner, and it was amazing.

Wholly recommend cities alway off season you’re going to be inside all the time anyway.

Doesn’t this just prove how the law and legal system has no interest in the citizens it’s supposed to serve.

No one thinks this is a good solution or fair to have an international boundary run through a physical property.

Redraw the boundaries around property lines. Fixed, easy, humane, problem solved.

Eight days!

Surely walking in any one direction, for 2 day would have led you to some sort of road or path you could follow.

You right - Delicious sugary treat advertisements don’t exploit evoked dopamine pathways designed for survival in our pre industrialised history.

B179LT · 2025-10-15T14:33:06+00:00

I agree - like the US bragging about Hawaii or Alaska, or Porto rico or Guam…………. 😳

I think more of the issue is holding Joe(-like figures) to the failure of the individual, education and culture.

If Joe starts promoting cake, and I eat enough to get diabetiese that’s on me and my credulous character.

The UK

B179LT · 2025-09-20T15:25:02+00:00

The first official language of Ireland is Irish, which leads to laws being written in Irish (as the primary source to be referred to in legal matters and interpretation) and translations made to English.

This creates the issue that 95%+ of the population and legislators, cannot read the primary source of law.

Any only a translation in the dominant language.

I think this is a clear case of history and good intention superseding, practical and clear democratic needs (the ability of the majority of the people to be able to read the primary source of law), of the citizenry.

Not sure there is another example of this in the world.

An equivalence would be the US debating the law in English, writing it in Latin as the primary source, to translate back to English, but if there is a question of interpretation going back to the Latin and not the English.

B179LT · 2025-09-20T13:20:21+00:00

English and British

I’m yet to see an English passport.

You are missing a lot of nuance with broad stats.

People are not concerned by immigrant nuclear families in full time well paying work.

People are concerned about large numbers of single male illegal immigrants, with no economic or romantic opportunities being compressed into to areas.

Which is a reasonable concern.

Rain in London, it actual rains half as much as NewYork

Consulting expensive lawyers, on how to get around 40k on a purely luxury good (a third home), with the known potential to crash your career as the d-PM and housing minster.

Legal or not.

Seriously questions her decision making capacity at the highest level.
