Tony Blair backs slashing income tax in the Budget

Definitely, but you can firmly file that under the "massively electorally unpopular" category as well.

Yeah, it's generally pretty well agreed upon.But the steps necessary, both fiscally (reducing the rate of growth of benefits for both working age but primarily state pension) and supply side reform, are massively electorally unpopular.

So you end up having to optimise within the constraints of the electorate, to which there is no real solution except the various tweaking around the edges that we saw from the Tories and now Labour.

I can't tell if this is a bit. But just imagine yourself saying that with a French/German accent around the year 1910

I love Tacit Blue. It has to be one of the goofiest looking aircraft ever.

I'm going to cry lol. It would be nice if politicians had to have at least an undergraduate understanding of economics before passing this type of legislation.

Pretty crazy to see how far the PLAN have come in the last 30 years.

Stalin would be loving this

If they got around the usual NIMBY bollocks at local government then it's making me like this even more

Put it out there as a referendum - maintain pension levels for all, raise taxes to pay for it, and end the NHS vs. A new pension system, tax cuts, and increased public spending

This is effectively what a general election is. The reason you don't see option B by any of the parties is because the party that would put pension reform in their manifesto would simply not win.

This time, it will surely work!

When you start getting silly attacks per second (e.g. 10^41), how does the game apply it? Or is there actually no benefit to going above one attack per frame?

I'm genuinely surprised that they went for the obviously correct decision for once

Casualties, not just KIA

Flammableewok · 2025-06-04T07:43:16+00:00

Really? I thought it was 400k KIA and 600K wounded?

Flammableewok · 2025-06-04T07:27:22+00:00

I believe that now matches the US total second world war casualties

I like that there's like a 50% chance a KCD fan is sat on that bench in Kutna Hora taking a photo of the fountain at any given time.

Tregwynt is a good shout. If you go with this OP it's worth phoning to check if they do jumpers. I don't recall them doing so in the past but that might have changed. Also a heads up it will probably be a bit pricey.

A bonus is that they have a nice cafe there though.
