I assume then that the next election won’t be pretty for them

Pretty much every political commentator at this point is confident that they’re going to be wiped out and lose worse than they ever have in history. So yeah, not pretty.

That said it’s their own fault, Sunak was supposed to bring things around, but he’s basically done nothing and just sat there being useless while the right wing nationalist element of his own party essentially destroy their election chances. It’s bizarre watching them go at it, it’s like they were sent from the future with a mission to ensure the conservative party is never politically electable ever again.

Perhaps we could try and go a week without someone in government committing a crime.

And of course ICE cars I’m going to start being phased out in a few years anyway.

I miss r/casualUK where everyone nas more normal.

We’ll be does do some stuff.

I don’t necessarily think we need for your family but at the same time there’s so many fuxked up things in this country to get worked up, about I just can’t really bring myself to be all that bothered.

It’s wrong anyway because the temperatures are high for the current time of year. Even the winter temps.

So with the northern hemisphere that means that they are higher than they’ve ever been before in the Southern hemisphere it just means they’re higher the winter then they’ve ever been before but they’re still high.

So it’s a confusing and non relevant distinction.

“Climate change doesn’t exist because of winter.”

It’s was the attitude of, “the Tories don’t won’t it, and I don’t like them, and it won’t happen anyway, so I’ll vote for it” that gets on my nerves.

He’s not happy right now though because he’s been kicked out of his millionaires only bank account.

In the long run the disposable ones work out to be more expensive which means they make more profit.

But it’s hard for the average consumer to notice that because it takes a while to build up the price.

It’s like the difference between paying for a subscription £90 once a year, Vs paying £10 a month, for 12 months.
Obviously you are better off with the £90 option but it feels like a larger amount if you don’t pay attention.

I’ve come across this prat before, literally every single thread that they’re in they have to take some stupid brainless position just to be argumentative, for the sake of being argumentative. It’s not worth interacting with them, they’re not interested in an actual discussion because they don’t actually have an opinion, they just want to be awkward.

If there was a thread the sky is blue, they’d probably take the opposite position just to be irritating. They have no opinion of their own.

I guess they are reducing the number of people it would need to support.

Also I need a new job.

It’s going to be absolute hell because homes in these countries are designed to retain heat, have no air conditioning, and typically are built with large windows to let as much light in as possible.

Cities, you just said keyword there cities, you can do it in cities because people want to live in cities. They don’t want to live on the outskirts. Most of these offices are not in the city centre because the city centre is a really expensive place to have an office, only massive corporations are based there.

The vast majority of office space is in low rent districts on the periphery of cities. Because no one lives there there’s no shops, no leisure centres, no schools, no parks or other green spaces. You can’t just convert every building into a housing unit without considering the surrounding environment.

It would be infinitely cheaper to just build homes where you actually want them, than to try and convert a building that was never designed for the task.

I know it’s not trendy or hip or exciting to say that, but when you look at the economics it just doesn’t make sense outside of some very limited circumstances.

They can be, but do you want them to be. Most are not in convenient places.

Yeah but a business park or industrial estate is no place you want to live, so it’s not like thoss offices can be converted.

There’s only a certain number of people in the world, and only a subset of them have easy access to the internet, and only a subset of them have disposable income.

Yet infinite profits are the expectation somehow.

Is it of the point about being in architect to design somewhat dumb things.

Architects always keep trying to reinvent bridge just so they don’t have to make the same bridge twice. The best design for a house is a cube made out of concrete, but we don’t build like that.

Sweden will help them apply, but they’ve got to do all the prerequisite economic work themselves.
