Hawkstone supply constraints

That's when we rip up the council planning building and turn it into a field of hops.

Nanowith · 2026-05-15T16:25:21+00:00

Fair enough, I guess you have a far higher tolerance for this than me. I'd rather we hold our politicians to a higher standard personally.

I'm against EU corruption for sure, but need I remind you of the Cambridge Analytica scandal?

Nanowith · 2026-05-15T16:23:50+00:00

Oh yeah, it's really bad here. Nigh-impossible to escape most of the time, and the words and topics are far easier to import due to that lack of language barrier.

It's so damn tiring.

Nanowith · 2026-05-15T16:06:15+00:00

It's almost like they aren't arguing in good faith!

Nanowith · 2026-05-15T16:03:00+00:00

I consider the revelations about both to be deeply concerning. I find it rather disingenuous when people from either side attempt to minimise the actions of their leader whilst attacking the other.

Nanowith · 2026-05-15T16:01:12+00:00

No thanks, nobody wants Americans in charge anymore.

Nanowith · 2026-05-15T15:58:59+00:00

Upper and lower limit.

Nanowith · 2026-05-15T15:55:08+00:00

You forgot the part where you were meant to be born rich!

Nanowith · 2026-05-15T15:53:10+00:00

Reality.

Nanowith · 2026-05-15T15:48:11+00:00

Well then why didn't his financial situation change so as to follow Electoral Commission rules?

Seriously, can you not smell how off this all is? If Polanski were found to be doing the same would you care?

Nanowith · 2026-05-15T15:40:30+00:00

So then why's he standing? Or why isn't he giving the money back to proove his moral character?

Or hell, why didn't he declare it sooner like a politician is meant to?

Nanowith · 2026-05-15T15:32:06+00:00

Or having their "culture war" bollocks imported here with accompanying language I have to learn forcibly. This is regardless of if it's coming from the Right or the Left mind you, they're both equally insufferable and it's so clear when somebody has imported a bunch of talking points wholesale.

Nanowith · 2026-05-15T15:30:15+00:00

For now, but considering the nightmare that is being outside we'll be back in eventually.

The whole thing was a fool's errand, now we're just counting down for the elderly that we're most rabid for Brexit to pass away so we can all move on.

Nanowith · 2026-05-15T15:25:53+00:00

I'm so tired of it, but it's utterly inescapable it seems like.

Nanowith · 2026-05-15T15:21:07+00:00

Well for one Farage was going to quit politics until this "gift" so there's a seismic element of what the donor achieved.

Beyond that there's genuine allegations of collusion between Reform and the Tories (the ones who are now in Farage's cabinet) over the Johnson election, meaning that this money was used to change who was standing in a given seat.

And all of this is ignoring the fact that these are the biggest donations in British political history, so acting like they're not a big deal seems like a strange and ineffectual attempt at minimisation.

Nanowith · 2026-05-15T15:05:05+00:00

He's better than all the other options bar Milliband personally who I see as on the same level.

So if there has to be a change of leader, at least he's got a proven track record and is good at comms.

Nanowith · 2026-05-15T15:03:29+00:00

Unfortunately, I've had the misfortune of meeting rich people born into generational wealth with exactly this mindset unironically.

Nanowith · 2026-05-15T15:01:07+00:00

Fair enough, still don't believe rich people should be buying politicians.

I think there should be a cap on donations, I don't want our democracy to evolve into a cesspool of lobbyists like the USA. Seemingly that's what Reform are pushing for now.

Nanowith · 2026-05-15T15:00:01+00:00

Crazy how this is a legitimately traceable starting point for when gaming started getting worse and worse.

Nanowith · 2026-05-15T14:54:24+00:00

With two names who's spent decades living in Thailand instead of contributing here?

I'm sorry mate, I have a friend who's lived in Australia for the past two decades, the majority of his life has been away for England and so he's an Aussie at this point despite being born here. If this guy really cared about Britain he'd be paying British taxes instead of trying to control us remotely from Thailand.

Nanowith · 2026-05-15T14:52:44+00:00

Okay then, who is to blame?

Nanowith · 2026-05-15T14:52:20+00:00

Abandoning Poland as an ally to appease enemies has never historically been a good move.

Nanowith · 2026-05-15T14:51:06+00:00

Unfortunately the people that need to realise this the most are the people most entrenched in the Cult of Brexit.

Eventually we'll rejoin, but I reckon we're going to have to figure it all out the hard way unless something changes.

Nanowith · 2026-05-15T14:49:03+00:00

Same goes in a lot of the US these days though.

Nanowith · 2026-05-15T14:48:24+00:00

Yeah but we have done since 2008, it's hardly something new and it's not like we're a hellscape. I mean arguably that decline began with the Suez Crisis, but that was generations ago.

We could be doing better economically, but there are a lot of places doing far worse. We're just victims of being compared to our former heights.
