There is no reason not to tax the rich to fill that hole.

Christopher Nolan Says Buy ‘Oppenheimer’ on Blu-ray ‘So No Evil Streaming Service Can Come Steal It From You’: ‘We Put a Lot of Care’ Into Home Release in c/homevideo@feddit.uk

Any idea when it will be released? It is a wonderful movie, although I seriously doubt my TV will be able to provide the room-shaking experience that we had in the cinema...

New Conservatives group is ‘meeting later today’ to discuss Suella Braverman as Tory leader in c/uk_politics@feddit.uk

[-] Treczoks@feddit.uk 6 points 10 months ago

Just by considering Suella Braverman in a leading position shows how deranged that "New Conservatives" group must be.

Nigel Farage Teases Tories That He Could Lead The Party In Three Years in c/uk_politics@feddit.uk

Even if he miraculously could, he would only be a ruler of a smoking ruin.

Liz Truss – Where did it all go wrong? in c/uk_politics@feddit.uk

[-] Treczoks@feddit.uk 5 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

I'd say things started to really go downhill when Cameron tried to placate the Tory right-wingers with the Brexit referendum.

But I would not fight anyone who would place the tipping point back to the Thatcher era.

Rishi Sunak: General election 'not what the country wants' in c/uk_politics@feddit.uk

[-] Treczoks@feddit.uk 5 points 11 months ago

Maybe he should actually ask the country about it. Or he just confuses a quick poll among his friends with the will of the country.

Wrong sales pitch. Should have been "A new and innovative way to cut corners"

London apartment block that deviates from plans must be torn down, says council in c/unitedkingdom@feddit.uk

[-] Treczoks@feddit.uk 8 points 11 months ago

Well, they had a good plan that they got permission for to build. It is not the council's fault that they actually built something else.

Apple security updates could be banned by British government in c/uk_politics@feddit.uk

WOW. This is what I would call "terminally stupid". Who the F cooks up such ridculous ideas?

The placement of the stove would make me not want to cook in c/badrealestate@feddit.uk

[-] Treczoks@feddit.uk 5 points 1 year ago

The color of the place would not want me to cook there, either.

HS2 is officially ‘unachievable’ after being given red rating in c/uk_politics@feddit.uk

[-] Treczoks@feddit.uk 7 points 1 year ago

Let's put it this way: Any HS2 that is not connected to the HS1 is a stupid idea from the beginning.

Do you really imagine people coming from the EU wanting to drag all their stuff through the f-ing Tube to reach the connecting bullet train to the north? Heck, this is already a pain in the ass with the crappy normal trains in the UK. I once needed to go from Hastings to Cambridge by train, and vividly remember having to walk between Kings Cross and Kings Cross Themselink (and back) with a load of luggage and a handicapped wife.

British people increasingly recognise Brexit is a mistake – so why the silence? in c/unitedkingdom@feddit.uk

There is a big, big difference between "noticing" and "admitting". E.g. there are a lot of older drivers. They usually noticed that they are no longer good for the road, but would they admit it and stop driving? Or look at this senile American Mitch McConnell - probably had a stroke in the middle of an interview, but would he admit that he is no longer fit for office?
