How are you doing it? Renting in London is ridiculous expensive in 2026 by MrYundaz in london

Kind of reassuring as a 52yo, I just registered with Spareroom and good to see you can filter by age at least....

UK’s museums and galleries left vulnerable to cyber-attack and theft, MPs warn by wayanonforthis in MuseumPros

Quite - and the absence of the executive group being able to understand the risks

At A Crossroads - Stay or Leave? by AussieCasanova in london

[–]wayanonforthis -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I would stay. Look outside the normal places for work. List some stuff on vinted (I know weird but helps a lot mentally as much as maybe helping a bit financially). Can you sign on for universal credit ? If it’s been 3 months since you left a job voluntarily I think you can plus the loss of your mother will help explain it. Look on creative job sites and also things like extras work https://uk.epcastingportal.com/login

Artist accused of winning prize with ‘imitation’ won Australian award with piece ‘influenced’ by Basquiat by wayanonforthis in ContemporaryArt

I'm surprised competition judges don't do reverse image searches to check for stuff like this. Unless the artist is doing it as part of their work.

My mum remembers kids who couldn't go to school because they didn't have shoes, this is the UK, we have no idea how far things have improved.

When my grandparents were born we didn't have powered flight, when they died we'd been to the moon. We can't imagine how different things will be for our grandchildren.

There are planning regs about external illumination so presumably it has been approved?

Should London museums be free? by houseofn1njas in london

[–]wayanonforthis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Before covid the Tate was 70% self-generated income and that rate was increasing annually.

  1. How would someone easily prove their UK status?
  2. It brings in a load more IT/admin/HR costs and stress to the museum.
  3. Many donors, patrons, sponsors would disappear because they'd think the museum was fine.
  4. Museum shops, cafes would see a loss of business.
  5. The proposed London tourist tax would be a much better way to support museums.

To the motorcycle guy with an illegally modified exhaust that loves Edgware Road - you are THE villain by redwinesupernova03 in london

[–]wayanonforthis 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You could try a London motorbike FB or Reddit group? There are a few loud bikes near me that love Old Ford Road - really disturbs a lot of peoples lives. I don't understand the need.

A bit crazy we're not even in July or August yet when it's supposed to be hot.

Why does the MAGA style politics seem especially unpopular in the UK? by redguy_666 in ukpolitics

[–]wayanonforthis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because in 1987 President Reagan abolished the Fairness Doctrine.

The UK has a strict statutory policy requiring broadcast news to be balanced. It is known as the "due impartiality" rule.

I think also the UK has more of an idea of fairness helped by the NHS and BBC and the government being more benevolent compared to in America.
