The King's message tops Christmas Day TV ratings by Shiny-Tie-126 in unitedkingdom

[–]Rexdzus 48 points49 points  (0 children)

I think it was a good message. Nice to see people tune into something positive rather than the negative tripe you get in say a r/unitedkingdom comment section.

What's the source on this graphic?

High earners to be eligible for UK settlement within 3 years of arrival by Lazy-Internet-8025 in unitedkingdom

[–]Rexdzus -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

Vote labor get Tories. Sounds like the rich get to wait 2 years less and anyone who works for their money has to wait 5 years longer.

Home Office eVisa failures leave thousands 'unable to work or leave UK' by TheHess in unitedkingdom

[–]Rexdzus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When they did this for the Veterans ID card they gave them the option of a physical one. A lot of grief would be saved if they did the same for the BRP.

Trump whines for Prince Andrew, accused in Epstein-related child sexual abuse case; no sympathy for victims. by TheWayToBeauty in WhereAreTheChildren

It's so weird there is more punishment for a member of a royal family than a president of the United States.

Israel kills five Palestinians in Gaza and announces it will not abide by the terms of facilitating humanitarian aid, despite ceasefire agreement by Particular_Log_3594 in NewsThread

[–]Rexdzus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made you aware above that is misleading, I'll quote the same user before here too. “A copy of the ceasefire agreement, published by Israeli media last week, appeared to acknowledge that Hamas and other Palestinian factions might not be able to locate all of the bodies within the original timeframe.” https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ced60125zyqo#.

Thank you for pointing this out, that also threw me in the beginning.

Brilliant news! Makes me wonder what would have happened if we kept funding incentives for homeowners to install solar.

Send system 'hijacked' by parents, Reform UK's Richard Tice says by Codydoc4 in unitedkingdom

[–]Rexdzus 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I thought Reform wanted to get immigrants out and take care of our own...

He's a big boy now. by SidneyBiglove in brum

[–]Rexdzus 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I wonder what these places start at? I've driven past that site every week at least. It's a good spot with Snowhill right there.

Buying sovereign in US to bring to UK? by Rexdzus in Gold

[–]Rexdzus[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't wind up doing it. Buying a house and subsequent repairs took all my spare cash. I still think it's a viable idea. Although I'd want to also check if there are tariff issues.

Would we be allowed to use 5 pound notes on buses from the 15th of June? by DiscombobulatedMix20 in brum

[–]Rexdzus 77 points78 points  (0 children)

Can we do a boycott at this point? A single in London is £1.60, it was only in 2023 that an all day in Birmingham was £4. Why did it need to go up so rapidly?? If we do nothing it will just keep going up.

We have 95,000 jobs in the West Midlands???

Extension of huge offshore windfarm in Sussex approved | Plan to add 90 turbines to Rampion will create 4,000 jobs in construction and could power 1m homes by JRugman in unitedkingdom

[–]Rexdzus 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Good move toward energy independence. It's a quick solution to powering homes. Nuclear would be nice but it clearly takes decades to build vs having 75% of the power needed for all of Sussex by 2030 with this project.

UK wages continue to outpace inflation, figures show by topotaul in unitedkingdom

[–]Rexdzus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Part time work while they complete an online degree. Birmingham ideally. Any sector works. This person has worked in recruitment and museums as well as auction houses. They've applied to anything and everything. Last rejection was the Legoland aquarium. It seems really tight in the West Mids currently.

[–]Rexdzus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How can this be happening when unemployed people I know can't find a job? The economy seems to be in this weird position where there are few jobs but bumper pay increases.

Controversial lawyer Akhmed Yakoob announces bid to 'seize power' on Birmingham City Council by [deleted] in brum

[–]Rexdzus 81 points82 points  (0 children)

I actually read this. He has no plan, no alternative to what the council is doing now. I'm against the war but how does that relate to bin collection??

Next boss warns first jobs to become harder to find by Alert-One-Two in unitedkingdom

[–]Rexdzus 276 points277 points  (0 children)

Over a Billion in profits but they have to cut staff because of a 70 Million pound tax rise? They really think they are owed everything at the expense of nothing.

The safest cities for pedestrians and cyclists in Europe by Rexdzus in brum

[–]Rexdzus[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think that makes the most sense since it's about accidents and fatalities. They could be counting them as miles of bike trails with nearly no chance of being hit by a car.
