the tories will do something in oct to try to get that new leader bounce but it'll be at the last possible minute, disorganised and cost 10x what it could have for less effect, i'm guessing a means-tested/tiered price cap freeze

an eton mess is just whip cream and fruit (the meringue wasnt even in the original version), like you would get anywhere in the western world since the 16th century, but like everything else the english are convinced it's a particular thing they invented bc their incest lords all had it at the same lunchroom as children. they probably call farts "eton trumpets"

Wow, how unexpected. The glorious efficiency of the free market fucks it once again. Or rather efficiently does as expected and sacrifices quality in favour of extract a penny more in profit.

The honest truth is the plumbing infrastructure in the UK is what, 150 years old? A period in which the population has risen by about 300%. It needs replaced on a massive scale and no private company will do that so ⅓ of English water will just vanish as leaks despite the country getting dryer and dryer. And the state won't do it because hell, when was the last time this country managed a huge infrastructure project like this successfully?

As for shooting season, 2019 an absolutely massive super yacht pulled up in the Moray Firth for months, belonging to some Russian business tycoon. It was too big to pass under the Kessock Bridge to actually anchor closer to his private game estate but not to worry, it had both a smaller yacht and a helicopter he could use.

Fortunately he hasn't been able to use the estate since because of first Covid & now the Ukraine war, so he spent upwards of £6m on a piece of land to shoot pheasants & stalk deer and has only been able to do it once. A small amusement in a grotesque situation.

Of course, it's not just the Russians. Middle Eastern princes, David Cameron's father-in-law owns about ⅕ of Jura IIRC, members of the Lords, the cunts who own Stagecoach, they all have massive estates they use for shooting. Awful pricks

Yes, that's I'm saying, the problem is foreigners owning Scottish land, not good Brits, which is why I mentioned Ann Gloag, born in Perth (co-owner of Stagecoach) who owns Beaufort Castle and the 4th Viscount Astor who owns a large part of the island of Jura and that's without mentioning the many other Lords who own part massive chunks of the country like the Duke of Buccleuch, Duke of Atholl, Duke of Hamilton, Duke of Argyll & far too many others to mention. And that's without touching on land owned by the royals like Balmoral Castle.

The problem is oligarchs regardless of where they are from, I merely mentioned the Russian specifically because that yacht was by far the most conspicuous example that I've personally encountered. Sucks when you look out the window every day before working out it you've enough food in the cupboard for the rest of the month to make lunch or if you gotta go without and you see some oval office with a yacht big enough to have a helicopter on board. Most of these estates are well off the beaten track so you can easily forget how loving big they are
