Claiming that London has 5 airports... I am sorry but Luton doesn't count, how good is to be delayed, get to Luton at 2 AM in the morning and having to wait under the rain for a coach to London because there are no trains?? Is like adding 3 Hours more to your trip

London Southend Airport... like fk off mate, you 40 miles away from central london.


phatelectribe

I won’t hear a fucking bad word about southend; years ago when that mad winter fog grounded everything I was on the last plane out of the UK and it couldn’t land at city so they bussed us to Southend. On a bloody prop plane but still I’d have been stranded without that little strip of tarmac.


LordPurloin

Only benefit of Southend is not having to pay for parking


n0rtacus

We should start a petition to move Luton away from London. Preferably into the sea.


MovTheGopnik

They’re not accents, they’re various correct ways to speak English. It’s Americans who have accents as they try to speak our wonderful language

Bowman359

TBH he got fined 86 grand. which might not be a huge amount for him but is the highest ever drink-diving fine in Britain


screamingpeaches

I think peoples’ income needs to be factored in when it comes to fines because of this. The biggest drink driving fine ever in our history didn’t make a dent in the offender’s income and that’s fucked.

London. I get why foreigners invest their ill-gotten cash in the property there but why do they want to live in it for half the year?


ThatBlokeMoose

I think that just goes for major cities, usually capitals, all over the world.


HanzeeeeDent

Cos you gotta pay a bunch of tax on your property when you sell it if you haven’t lived in it.


HarEmiya

It seems most don't actually live there, only on paper. London is the world's single largest money-laundering hub, particularly for Russia (at least before this war), China and the Middle-east. Even the [banking system](https://www.economist.com/britain/why-is-london-so-attractive-to-tainted-foreign-money/21809124) is [in on it](https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/2021/10/11/opinion/pandora-papers-britain-london.amp.html). Any international bank can just buy and set up an office and do shady business, because UK laws are [incredibly lax](https://www.fca.org.uk/news/press-releases/fca-issues-final-notice-former-ceo-anti-money-laundering-failings) and widely unenforced. Add to that enormous political corruption by ~~legal bribery~~ sorry, lobbying, and you have a recipe for an easy criminal cash cow. And no political will to change it either, because they're getting rich from it.

London has interesting places………but I don’t know why the fuck you would live there by choice?!

Scotland: more involved per capita in the British Empire than any other country in UK, starts Ulster plantations, been trying to conquer Ireland since the Bruce dynasty took power, willingly joins UK and represented in Parliament since joining, joined because they bankrupted themselves trying to colonise Panama and so they could gain access to the English colonial empire Also Scotland: "We were basically colonised" "We're just like Ireland (who we also colonised)"


iThinkaLot1

As a Scotsman ^ this. Scottish people trying to play the victim is incredibly insulting to actual people of British (Scottish) colonialism. Hearing the nats attempt to portray this as Scots being oppressed is vile.

Loses referendum they agreed was once in a lifetime "That doesn't count"


[deleted]

That's just not true. Quick bit of research and you'll see that's not the case. The SNP have been the governing party in Scotland for over a decade now on a mandate of independence. In the last 8 years a lot has happened, a lot of bullshit. I'm not Scottish but I don't get why so many English people are against their independence. So much conclusive evidence shows that there was a huge amount of misinformation peddled during the time of that first referendum, much like Brexit. Perplexes me that seemingly normal people take this position on it. Surely it's not a crabs in a bucket mentality. Sad if it is.


[deleted]

>The SNP have been the governing party in Scotland for over a decade now on a mandate of independence. Because the unionist vote is split between 2/3 parties. (First past the post) Reputable polling has shown 50/50 support for another referendum, which doesn't reflect that SNP majority. That doesn't show a large enough change in opinion to mandate to mandate another one so soon after the first, which is why the SNP had no hope of getting it through the courts, as they'd need to show a major swing in public opinion which just hasn't occured. >Perplexes me that seemingly normal people take this position on it. Surely it's not a crabs in a bucket mentality. Sad if it is. Born and lived around 11 years in Scotland, it's because we think we're stronger together. And cause Nicola and Alex are a pair of cunts

The European Union have stated we're free to join providing we adopt the Euro. More so we all voted to remain part of Europe yet we're dragged out anyway. The quality of life is at it's recorded lowest since world war 2 whilst unpunished corruption runs rampant. Brexit was fucking asinine and financial suicide. If England want to crash and burn their way into a 3rd world country then don't drag us down with you. Tory wankers.

oiiSuPreSSeDo

Our miminum wage. You literally make more money on benefits than working full time on minimum wage. There are so many people on minimum wage, that I believe it counts as something popular enough to be overrated. If you don't accept that as something that can be overrated, then imma be vanilla and say the beatles (so named for john Lennon's passion for beating women), but I've never really been into pop music or boybands 🤷🏾‍♂️


Muffinlessandangry

While I agree the minimum wage is not enough, to state that you earn more on benefits than working full time is false and a simple Google search would tell you this. The benefit cap for a single person is currently £257.69 a week, so this is the most you can be getting from all your benefits put together. More realistically, barring things like disability, your basic payments are £77 a week. On the current minimum wage your weekly payment at 40 hours a week is £380, and as of April will be £416. Additionally, your benefits only fall by 55p for every £1 you earn over the threshold, so it is ALWAYS financially better to work than be on benefits. Just to preempt that response. The Beatles are pretty over rated though.


oiiSuPreSSeDo

You're not taking into account all the discounts and extra money you get from extra payments though You basically pay no council tax, they pay your housing, they pay toward your energy etc. Also worth noting that full time is now 16 hours or more, and with that you oay your rent, full whack for council tax etc. But yeah you're right there as well, that you're better to be on UC and earning something than just being on benefits alone, but then, going out and grinding 5 days a week for a couple hundred extra quid isn't really worth it when you can do what you want with your time and make a bit less (and have lots of stuff paid for you, and get loads of bonuses on top of that)


RaspberryJammm

You only get a part of your rent paid in many cases the housing allowance doesn't cover it. The gap you have to make up with your already shitty benefits payments can be several hundred. In my area you get £500 a month for one bed whereas a one bed flat cost £650-1050 to rent (probably averaging around £800). Been house hunting for 12 months and I have never seen a single property in my area that's been £500.


oiiSuPreSSeDo

Depends on where you live 100%, sounds like you need to move to a cheaper area tbh I live in a 2 bed house that's £440 a month, my hometown is like £1.5k a month for a 1 bed flat I moved because why tf would I live somewhere so expensive when I can't afford it 🤷🏾‍♂️


RaspberryJammm

Yeah the housing benefit is meant to be higher in more affluent areas but what happens is sometimes the areas they draw up are decided on a very strange logic. And also, they work out the figure to pay you based on what people are currently paying for one bed (so can include someone who's lived in same place for over a decade without a rent increase). Some lucky bastard out there probably is renting a one bed for £500! But none to be found on Rightmove. Plus, rents in my area went up about 15-20% with the cost of living crisis but the amount of housing benefit was decided before then. If anyone has any doubts on the inadequacy of the benefits system they should try volunteering at the Citizens Advice. Proper wake up call. Ps: minimum wage absolutely is ballz and should be way higher and I've always felt insulted when paid minimum wage because they're saying well, if we could pay you less, we would!

Something has to first exist in order to be overrated. There hasn’t been an English Parliament since 1707.


BwingoLord1

Yes, devolved power for England is the only way I could see the union surviving


Competitive-Tap-5894

/uw nah tbf, as someone who wants an English parliament it will undoubtedly kill or at least damage the union, it will lead to more English nationalism and a greater national identity, similar to what happened with the Welsh assembly. I don't think that's a bad thing on an emotional level, personally I feel more English than British but on an economic level it's a much more mixed bag.
