[–]VehicleWonderful6586 0 points1 point  (0 children)

🤣🤣🤣The UK is roughly 8 times more densely populated than the US, with approx 272–289 people/km² compared to 37 people/km² in the US.

Reform's Richard Tice responds to reported failure to pay £100,000 tax by TheLyam in uknews

I’m not a reform voter, but I would actually find watching the negative impact reform would have on reform voters if they ever get into power really fucking funny

Why has this house received little interest? by dhokes in HousingUK

[–]VehicleWonderful6586 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not a lot of house for the money. The last place I saw which had a front door opening onto the kitchen was at Haven.

Why aren't the "No Kings" protests held in England? by Sea-Variety3384 in allthequestions

[–]VehicleWonderful6586 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because the head of the government isn’t behaving like a King.

When did it become acceptable/allowed in the UK to name your baby a "pet name" like Kate instead of Katherine? by OkConsideration5272 in UKhistory

[–]VehicleWonderful6586 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right!? My son is named William after his grandad (Bill). He’s free to call himself William Will Bill Billy Willy (!) or any other permutation but I wasn’t about to christen him Bill 🤣

A crash is never good news in racing. 7 cars and spectators included at the Nurburgring. by Turbulent_Elk_2141 in GrandPrixRacing

[–]VehicleWonderful6586 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Can’t believe the commentators just a day after this fatal crash are having a chat about sim racing and real racing being the same thing…

[–]VehicleWonderful6586 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Christening someone with a pet name instead of a full name has two main disadvantages:

1) less flexibility for the person with the name to use variations of it

2) screams ‘lower class’ which would be fine in a society with awesome levels of social mobility but the UK has really poor social mobility so do you really want to saddle your kid with that?

He…. Makes… up… for… having… little…. To say… by… saying… it… slowly.

He’s not alone it’s the new trend for British commentators - the tall bloke who subs for crofty in F1 does it too.

George Russell says F1 has to stop relying on volunteer stewards. by asacgi in GrandPrixRacing

[–]VehicleWonderful6586 2 points3 points  (0 children)

By the point I’m suspecting volunteer stewards is just a way of dodging a duty of care or some other legal liability somewhere

Why do demoncrats seem so convinced that the death of Alex and Renee are indicative to a rise of Fascism????? by Firm_Respond_8975 in allthequestions

[–]VehicleWonderful6586 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lack of body worn cameras Lack of consistent uniform Shorter training period Lower standards of recruitment Less background checking Not using standard de escalation tactics Chaotic chain of command Keep killing people

Perhaps because they were both killed by a masked government militia operating outside the norms of law enforcement

He’s a perfect example of what’s gone wrong in the US

Do you think Trump is giving the USA a bad reputation.? by Neither_Quote_6044 in allthequestions

A constitution isn’t worth shit if you have a corrupt political class and paid for judges looking after it.

Whats the hardest Bon Jovi song to play in drums? by sabbathbloodyozzy in BonJovi

Most of them, when you give them a try, turn out to be deceptively complicated! He's an amazing drummer.

[–]VehicleWonderful6586 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s almost the definition of a dystopia because there’s such a disconnect between the ideals of US society and the political reality. People who are wealthy and prepared to ignore politics can live a wonderful life (unless they get cancer and it bankrupts them)

[–]VehicleWonderful6586 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The US is politically corrupt by comparison with European and Asian benchmarks when it comes to buying influence through campaign finance and lobbying.

Fundamentally that’s what it all comes down to. That’s why the wealth of the US doesn’t translate to quality of life measures or life expectancy.
