Rational views, based on truth and science. Brexit was a lie. Proponent of free movement. Mini cars rock. No DM's
This is a complete scam, 50 year mortgage and 15 year car loans means soaring bank profits and plenty of repo work.

When UK says it want's value for money now, and didn't get it as a member before Brexit, then the question is why do all other members stay? Not only did UK get VFM but also special carve outs in multiple agreements. This special treatment for UK is frankly tiresome, old and embarrassing.

So I've looked this up and it is a thing. They are routes designed to relieve high altitude congestion. In this case it's because there is a lack of ATC for high altitude. The fuel burn is about double and very turbulent. It will not be a comfortable ride.

1. Failure of logic. It's just not a thing.
2. Projection. He wants to make money out of every bill he signs.

This is a hail Mary shot to the Supreme Court.

I imagine, but don't know for sure, that the airline is given a gate at a set time, and can't open bag drop until they have that info. All supposition on my part. But if you could bag drop as quickly as check in it might spread out the travellers to avoid the inevitable passport control jam.

If you ask climate experts privately, they will tell you that we are already cooked. Average temp increase is exponentially rising and there is no political will to do anything. Publicly they will paint a better picture. Severe weather events are already here on an annual basis.

It should be illegal for government officials, conducting official business, to travel in their mom's unmarked minivan.

Sure, but check in is not the problem because you can do that online or at the terminal. But if you have checked luggage then you have to wait until bag drop opens.

We won't even see the depression until it's too late. I've seen plenty of unfinished cathedrals in Europe to easily imagine an image of the White House with a half finished ballroom as an image of destitute America.

I have to say that airlines are not helping. I got to the airport 4 hours before flight in anticipation of delays but had to wait for an hour for the bag drop to open. So the extra time was wasted.

It is a voluntary suspension of one of the branches of government by republicans. If the Supreme Court does something similar then you have the authoritarian system in full swing. I wonder if many Americans realise how close to the brink they really are?

This is a great idea. The more that young people experience the wider Europe the better the chances for closer UK/EU relations in the next generation of politicians.

Why would anyone listen to him? Sorry dude, you don't speak for the government. You suck money from the public purse to fund carbon emitting estates and then want to criticise others. Give me a break...

The most insane comment yet. I wonder if he wants to tell that to the pilots on AF1? Oh, wait, he's just talking about the planes that carry the rest of us.
November 9, 2025 at 9:28 AM
Gotta find him first. I heard he is hiding on a military base somewhere.

What's the leg slap for? Gathering the courage to go down stairs?

Oftentimes, if a retiree is resident in EU, and has a foreign income, citizenship may be considered if the applicant can show a close association with the culture of the host country. If you want to live in your little Britain village in the sun, forget it.

The comments here are correct. It's all similar to a person on the pavement yelling out that the world is going to end, while everyone else walks by, paying no attention, more concerned with the shopping list in their pocket.

Was this achieved mostly through the use of ULEZ?
November 8, 2025 at 9:34 AM
Not everyone can back that thing out of space port on impulse power.

Could have been guilty on a lesser charge of littering but not guilty because the agent failed to catch.
Seriously though, what an utter waste of court time.
November 6, 2025 at 10:34 PM
I thought it would go this way. In a rush to punish, the justice dept. has opened itself to some public ridicule and possible sanctions by the court against prosecutors.
