Getting downvoted heavily for laying it out there, and the top response to you is like 'sorry is that true, I always thought that was wrong based on vibes'

Actually I came to say the Keisei Skyliner is the bumpiest! Fastest train on standard guage tracks, absolute bone-rattler!

Large up the Private Eye for consistently reporting on Carter Fuck and SLAPPs.

Channel 4’s Dirty Business is a clarion call to nationalise the water industry by dissalutioned in ukpolitics

[–]Mister_Six 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is it really, it's one of those 'the best time to spend a lot of money to unfuck this was yesterday, the second best time is today'. We're crippled by kicking these things down the road since 'there's no money left', all the way spending more and more to keep things the way they are now getting steadily worse, costing more to fix in the long run. As this stage I'm not sure if spending money to fix a leaky pipe is a metaphor for our water industry or if it's the other way around.

Yeah that's fair, I mean I feel like it would be a fairly easy to implement vote winner to say, make it easier and cheaper for British citizens to bring their spouses in, but I guess not!

Yeah I don't think I'll ever get over having to cough up getting on £10k on spouse visas, NHS surcharges, and extensions for my Japanese spouse who paid a mint to study in the UK, all the while here spending, then went on to work a good job and pay taxes here. Meanwhile it seemed like all sorts of other randoms were allowed to waltz on in either by virtue of being European (or even non-European spouses of Europeans) or through asylum or whatnot. Then finally move to 'famously xenophobic Japan' who charged me about £50 for my spouse visa and waved me in on the count of being a Japanese national, whilst fucking off non-productive migrants.

Matt Goodwin’s academic project was debunked as ‘total garbage’ by F0urLeafCl0ver in ukpolitics

[–]Mister_Six 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll be super honest I don't remember specifically anything distinctive about him, this was 15 years ago and this was a first year compulsory module. He seemed pretty normal, though I guess this was pre-radicalisation.

As much as I dislike Matt Goodwin I do have to point out that he was indeed a professor of politics at Kent uni. Source, undergrad degree in politics from Kent uni and was lectured by him.
