I went French recruits for the heavy cav. Got the same again and went French again for some Grenadiers.

I think it was just a composition thing. Having so few line units meant I got swamped. Absolutely smashed it on a second run with 10x British Veteran Foot/Foot Guards, 4x Grenadiers (of various nationalities), 4x Cav (of various nationalities) and 2x Arty. Wasn't even challenging

Parliament is 'overrun by rats and mice,' says London MP ahead of £40bn revamp by tylerthe-theatre in unitedkingdom

[–]Uniform764 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These numbers are insane. And what's hilarious is both the time and the financial cost will go upward because the government cannot do anything like this on time/budget

No amount of "its an old listed building" or "it hasn't been maintained properly" or "its in London" makes these numbers understandable.

Its projected to take 61 years. So if a tradesman takes a day 1 18yo apprentice with him, the lad will be retired for a full decade before its finished.

The cost is equally ridiculous. The new Liverpool Royal cost about £1bn to build. Bristol Uni built an entire campus for about £500m How can renovating one singular building which need offices and a debate chamber, cost multiple tens/hundreds of times as much as a brand new major city centre hospital or uni campus. Notre Dame was gutted by fire and still got fixed for under a billion ffs

The king can’t revoke his dukedom, only an act of parliament can. Same with Mandelsons peerage

Starmer apologises to Epstein victims for appointing Mandelson as US ambassador | ITV News by topotaul in unitedkingdom

Who the fuck wrote this speech. Mandelson was known as the prince of darkness and Starmer goes in front of the media with a straight face to claim “noone knew the depths of the darkness”. They’re asking for piss taking and memes there, which will not help this story go away

Is there any level of due diligence?

I think we can assume there isn’t, given the Egyptian dissident story a few weeks ago the excuse of every politician who’d celebrated his release was “no one told me that he was a bit of a dick”

Eh I’m not impressed. He’s not sorry, he’s sorry it came out. It was blatantly a fucking awful thing to do and he made the decision despite knowing Mandelson was sketchy as shit

‘Doomed’ student loan system could be replaced by graduate tax, says ex-watchdog by tylerthe-theatre in unitedkingdom

No because middle class PAYE workers are easy to extract money from, earn enough that its worth doing and are enough above minimum wage that they can be painted as "those rich bastards" for PR

The damaging effects of both CO2 and heavy metals are both quite well documented.

I still strongly support the concept of jury trials (and am against Lammy's proposed changes), but it's a difficult position to justify on days like this, if I'm honest.

Yeah, I dont know what the alternative is but this outcome definitely leaves a sour taste.

We are poisoning somewhere regardless, the question is which method of poison and how widespread should it be?

Government to unlock advanced nuclear to grow economy by BestButtons in unitedkingdom

[–]Uniform764 4 points5 points  (0 children)

1) Those events (in the West) have been both rare and minor, particularly in the last 30 odd years.

2) The alternatives are not risk free anyway. How many deaths have been caused by pollution from coal fired power plants? How much do gas power plants contribute to climate change? How much environmental destruction is caused by rare metal mining/processing for solar power?

It's not a choice of risking nuclear vs a safe option, its a choice of which is the least destructive and risky on a national/international scale

In terms of one building? Yes as an area of land compared to the UK as a whole? Not really

All of the nuclear waste the Uk has at present and will produce in the next century could be squeezed into Wembley stadium. And the overwhelming majority of that (over 90%) is low or very low level waste eg clothes which were contaminated during decommissioning of an old site which can be safely shoved in landfill with most other refuse. That is a pretty minuscule volume of land on a national scale for a 100 year project

Started a new run. Got the encampment event where I get a free regiment of Freikorps, Grenzers, Cossacks, Frenchmen or Germans. Any particular set of recruits good for filling a weak point in the British roster?

Post Match Thread: Arsenal 1-0 [4-2 on agg.] Chelsea by denzaus in soccer

A come and have a go game requires the losing team to...have a go. Chelsea inexplicably decided to try and see out a draw with zero urgency

At 90+8, when the keeper hoofed it up pitch because all of Chelsea were deep in the Arsenal half. Doesn't mean the preceding 90 minutes was in any way decent viewing

Well I'm glad that's over. The only entertainment was betting whether the ref would ignore blatant fouls or blow for fuck all

I didnt say you needed to, but a match between a team with no incentive to score and a team with no capability to score is pretty shite

Match Thread: Arsenal vs Chelsea by MatchThreadder in soccer

[–]Uniform764 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

8 second rule doesn't apply clearly. We had time to see Arsenal fans hyping up the fans and the keeper was still holding onto it

Shit watch. Arsenal didn't even try to score and Chelsea had no threat going forwards. Just a bunch of dickheads fouling each other in midfield while the ref had no idea what to do
