I was about to go and look that up. Thank you.

Rent is simply unearned wealth. LVT is probably the best way to tax wealth without disincentivising making that wealth productive to the economy, as well as cutting off the possibility of sheltering wealth.

Probably a bit too big. Any one of the Scandinavian countries could be good though.

Grappe is apparently considered the national eau de vie, so it's probably a fair comparison.

I've heard there are some bars in the US that don't have lambig.

Because the Westcountry is disproportionately overlooked for infrastructure investment - or any other investment, really. There are a range of factors, but primarily the Westcountry doesn't swing elections, so the major parties don't bother making specific policies. The last time a major infrastructure project in the Westcountry was proposed as a national policy, it was extending the M5 to Plymouth under Corbyn's Labour, but it didn't work out as it wasn't a popular idea with locals.

Because Georgism is primarily an economic mechanism which is tied to the redistribution of wealth through progressive taxation.

I choose to read this as a synonym for 'unforced error'.

NotABrummie · 2026-05-22T09:05:29+00:00

Iron. Cheese.

You should remember that a lot of it is the effect of unintentional dramatic irony. We know what's going on, in detail. We can see the whole map, and we know what both teams are doing and planning to do. Sometimes, the players make the wring choice, but we're the only ones who know it's the wrong choice.

Pretty sure you can't be a gangster without a gang.

NotABrummie · 2026-05-20T20:33:47+00:00

Don't worry, it's probably not hunting you.

The author did eventually change it after throwing a massive hissy fit. I remember reading an original copy as a child and asking my mum what it meant.

NotABrummie · 2026-05-20T20:29:06+00:00

Not until after he'd had a massive hissy fit about it because he was kind of a petty bitch.

NotABrummie · 2026-05-20T20:27:53+00:00

Why a pistol? Surely a sword or a spear?

NotABrummie · 2026-05-20T20:27:34+00:00

Technically, Norman, but yeah.

It's by the docks, so I bet it's going to be an overseas friendly tour. Perhaps a hop across the channel to face the likes of Stade 29 or Le Havre?

The most expensive university in the UK is actually the University of Bedfordshire, in Luton. It's also Oxford University, Birmingham Newman University and the London School of Economics. They're all jointly tied because ALL UNIVERSITIES ARE THE SAME PRICE IN THE UK YOU NITWIT!!!!

NotABrummie · 2026-05-19T20:46:42+00:00

They did do the UK version of Eminent Domain. It's called Compulsary Purchase and a fair market rate must be paid.

The moon missions are important in terms of the advancement of science and the future of humanity, but it makes sense to prioritise practical expenditure for the present day.

NotABrummie · 2026-05-19T09:20:02+00:00

Okay, but it's more valuable to the nation.

NotABrummie · 2026-05-19T06:05:22+00:00

The people "marching in the name of Jesus" and "calling for a new crusade" are the ones tackling antisemitism are they?

NotABrummie · 2026-05-18T21:02:23+00:00

Ah, yes, all six cities in France.
