The Canadian troops have landed in Britain too... Or else its Karma, water your pitch during the drought, get lots feasting and you know what else geese.

Hey Emirates Munich to Dubai, I don't appreciate you disturbing the peace...(only really notices air plane noise pollution when its the only one in the sky)

I'm sorry, France and Italy must have Russian soldiers as tourists? As a nonnegotiable must have? Can this be real? But they want citizens to pay taxes for more armaments?

Just reflecting as I wait for the Teddington lock that we haven't built a bridge from Westminster to Hampton Ct since 1967; meanwhile some are on the verge of falling down.

I booked the matinee at the ROH today because it was a Bank Holiday weekend, and thus sure to be raining...

More and more, clear blue sky in London. Air quality really improving.

Ha, well, you know there is Churchill, see below, and really, it is pretty standard 1930s view from Liberal and Labour sides. You are free to disagree with the view, but not the fact Baldwin was exposed as a hypocrite and despised. That is a common view.

Yea, I mean look at the ballot?! What's a poor protestant who wants to read and understand these words to do?

OK. New trains with connecting carriages for the Piccadilly line! That's worth a weekend of no service while they test them. Real improvements!

It isn't nuts though; a minimum for US consumption and enough to get through without looking bad to her centrist supporters. For an example of stupid there's this, from Canada's opposition leader:

Whenever I look at this view of the abandoned railway, made at great cost through the Italian mountains, I think there must be an opposite to the sunk costs fallacy: where a huge capital investment is abandoned due to the operating costs being slightly too high one year.

And to get acceptance to tear down the single story Victorian terrace, there's got to be public confidence the replacement will high build quality and aesthetically beneficial. When we get this (Hammersmith) it crushes support for building.

Amazing how much has changed:

You can really see some US history: Italian names show a distinct pattern of none before 1900, the a break in WWII. Compare Luigi vs Louis. Here is "Caterina", a southern Italian name.

Having just spent several days touring it, I confirm its a lovely and underrated country, that knows a thing or 2 about imperial domination, and doing something about it

This is fun nonsense. Totally US centric. Still, upper middle is right.

I see we're into Italian referendum season....with the usual easy the understand questions, and not at all the greatest mockery of a democratic process that exists #Italia

Same kind of energy on this?

DBurx @dburx.bsky.social · 27/02/2025

That's proves my point: you can't see the Rich / Middle distinction. See here. There is a huge difference of interests in the 99th %'ile to the middle classes in the £6k region to the working classes.

I wish we had not seen this before, so long ago, but in living memory: remember David Stockman?

All countries, undergoing modernisation, have a period of pop and housing growth, and then it stops. It cannot restart. We have reached the end of 'growth'. See from UKs age of reform:

1) American immigration arguments assume a vast country of unlimited resources, and for the most part this is correct. It is not so in England. And Housing we see it most clearly. Here is English housing in the Age of Reform:
