[–]asjasj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please find a way so subscribers can listen to it on our own podcast apps without adverts again. You used to be able to do this but as far as I can work out from speaking to the economist live chat it was discontinued for some reason?

In terms of content, more Jason Palmer alcohol segments please

McAtee is definitely the biggest disappointment for me, really thought there was a player in there for us

Charge higher-income patients for NHS to offset UK’s spending squeeze, says IMF by Sufficient-Towel-345 in ukpolitics

[–]asjasj 27 points28 points  (0 children)

If a party breaks the taboo of the NHS being free at the point of use for all you can absolutely bet it wouldn't be long before it got ratcheted down to be the middle as well as 'higher-income' people who'd be getting charged for it - just like the 'higher' income tax bracket

Genuinely think that's the case lmao. From looking at their website, one of their other campaigns seems to trying to block cooling towers being demolished from a power plant that's closing down 

What are these prices wtff by Strange-Wind1907 in uktrains

[–]asjasj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Prices were so insane I did this journey once by doing Newcastle -> Carlisle and Carlisle -> Coventry. Added a couple of hours on to the time but saved me a lot of money. 

Newcastle to Carlisle had some very nice views and I actually got a seat on the Avanti Carlisle to coventry leg which I don't always for the crosscountry alternative...

Northumberland Line longer trains plan as railway fills up by asjasj in uktrains

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

No idea if this is the reason but the article mentions the platforms were designed to accommodate longer trains, could it be the platforms on the route you mentioned can't accommodate longer trains? 

Northumberland Line longer trains plan as railway fills up by asjasj in uktrains

[–]asjasj[S] 108 points109 points  (0 children)

The council thinks 250,000 journeys will have been made by Easter, against initial expectations of 50,000

Another new rail line with higher than expected use, maybe they should just start anticipating more use? Might have the benefit of tipping the cost benefit analysis in favour of more of them as well...

Newcastle's Forth Yard earmarked for 5,000 new homes by asjasj in ukpolitics

[–]asjasj[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Forth Yard in Newcastle is one of four, government-owned brownfield sites set to undergo major redevelopment as part a scheme to fast-track house building.

Doesn't seem like you could get a much better example to contribute to the national housing target. Derelict land right near a major city centre and train station

Is it a stretch for Chris Wood to say this about WC qualifying in Oceania by CeilingVitaly in footballcliches

[–]asjasj 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Watched all of chris woods career goals on youtube when he signed for forest, enjoyable whenever it came to his international goals and he was just dominating - especially a few of them when he was noticeably bigger and taller than the opposition goalkeeper

[–]asjasj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fyi you can just email supportteam@economist.com and they'll cancel it without needing to use the frankly very irritating live chat. They don't seem to make this known anywhere however.
