If you ask people almost anything with no costs they say yes.

“ Accidents” was the leading cussing of death young men for lots of the 20th century.

How are regular people able to buy a house because of colonialism.

This is an issue with lots of low distance high tackles, standing full height is natural for human, as is running upright. If you haven’t had time to react most players will be upright most of the time and humans do have reaction times.

To be fair NI is poorer the uk average so it should be catching up to a degree given it’s got a fairly big and underperforming large city.

We should suspend the use of heavily snipped axis.

Ultimately something is going to replace fuel duty is £25bn.

The policy… is for now (ish)

People think about income differently as well, whether you think in a household (maybe later in life) or as an individual (maybe younger), do you include say income from wealth. Where you live too (I think a very high share of people earning over £100k are in London).

You can easily charge a surcharge on incoming vehicles. Double taxation happens all the time.
November 6, 2025 at 12:53 PM
I think we will do this - just probably not until 2040 ish. Which is fine.
November 6, 2025 at 12:45 PM
Given the tories are planning billions £ of tax cuts - are they committing to not replacing fuel duty, increasing congestion and just another £20 bn of cuts by 2040?
November 6, 2025 at 12:44 PM
That fall might be small in nominal but I think the fiscal rules require surplus that year (29/30), so would require cuts or new taxes, if they put something in a proposal now they can fill that gap.
November 6, 2025 at 12:36 PM
Based on announced policy, receipts are expected to increase by £2.6 billion to £27.0 billion in 2026-27, due to the reversal of the 5p cut and RPI uprating of the duty rate. Receipts then gradually increase to £27.3 billion in 2027-28 and 2028-29, then fall by £0.4 billion in 2029-30..

It was always at this time when the OBR forecast in dropping fuel duty was going to bite on fiscal rules. Shane we can’t just look towards a sensible fuel duty replacement for all. We seemed to be making progress on this.

Yeah the late game in EU4 is a bit out of whack, colonial armies in Mexico of 120 troops.
November 6, 2025 at 11:05 AM
I think colonising is probably comparatively easy in the early game… look at the examples of say Scotland. Look how hard it was for other small counties (e.g Denmark) to maintain even small colonies. Russia also failed pretty badly en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fort_Ro...

EU4 or as my wife calls it “4 hours playing islands”.
November 6, 2025 at 10:46 AM
Yeah but councils don’t have the cash and for the private sector they will prioritise high value charge points at say motorways - as these are the cash cows.
November 6, 2025 at 10:09 AM
Yes but that is a harder solution - I think actually it’s towns that are the issue- especially where you have say terraced housing - lots of demand for parking on limited streets. In urban areas better PT and on street charging should work as car ownership is lower..
November 6, 2025 at 10:06 AM
Some cities have very good on street networks - Camden and Wandsworth have the highest EV uptake -you just need the council to support the role out
