Imagine if you did a thick of it series about the opposition. Oh and make clear the spin doctors are actually remarkably incapable at their jobs. And keep telling opposition to do things that actually just piss people off but you also show that HMG uses the same spin doctors and is just as vain and incompetent . Maybe have some semi authentic independents form into an alliance as the series continues. And have it end with an election and a hung parliament where the independent mps who are actually authentic are the only thing that could allow a new government to form. Which ends with neither shadow chancellor or opposition leader in the top spots.

actionjackson posted:is the energy crisis affecting all countries in Europe equally? that said, it's a bit hard to make a comparison. large parts of sweden has pretty cheap electricity, but it is far more expensive than usual and their housing mass is built around electric heating due to it being cheap before it got all entangled in the european energy market.

actionjackson posted:is the energy crisis affecting all countries in Europe equally? wholesale prices are up to insane heights literally everywhere in europe, including us who do not use russian gas. every country is handling it differently; france has chose nationalization, for example, so their bills are capped at 4% and the state ultimately will pay the excess, which is probably cheaper than waiting for it to go bust and bailing it out, at least in the short term. germany seems to be applying a similar system of "oh your bills up £1000 well we're working really hard to get a means tested thirty pounds gift certificate to the coat store of your choosing" style interventions. i think hungary is doing worse than we are iirc.

The bit about not using Russian gas is misleading, since it's mostly because it's cheaper to get it from scandinavia which is closer. The problem is that the rest of Europe wants to get their gas from there now too.

On the positive side together with Portugal they are the only places who managed to already fill it up.

"it is up to the market to determine whether it makes sense to invest in new gas storage and if there are any supply shortages, prices will rise sufficiently to attract more gas from elsewhere." Well done, market

Frosted Flake posted:lol so do you think they’ll let Scotland have another referendum after all this? Looks like no Tories have nothing but contempt for Scotland and yet are deeply wedded to maintaining the union for some reason. I guess because it's all that's left of the empire at this point, Scotland, Wales, the Falklands & St Helena. It rules that rather than spending the massive oil revenues almost exclusively from Scottish waters on things that would improve people's lives they were just used to fund tax cuts to keep the Tories in power despite their Scottish support collapsing from 22 MPs in '79 (out of 71) to 11 from 72 in '92 and then to gently caress all in 1997.

Fareweel to a' our Scottish fame, Fareweel our ancient glory; Fareweel ev'n to the Scottish name, Sae fam'd in martial story. Now Sark rins over Solway sands, An' Tweed rins to the ocean, To mark where England's province stands- Such a parcel of rogues in a nation! What force or guile could not subdue, Thro' many warlike ages, Is wrought now by a coward few, For hireling traitor's wages. The English steel we could disdain, Secure in valour's station; But English gold has been our bane - Such a parcel of rogues in a nation! O would, ere I had seen the day That Treason thus could sell us, My auld grey head had lien in clay, Wi' Bruce and loyal Wallace! But pith and power, till my last hour, I'll mak this declaration; We're bought and sold for English gold- Such a parcel of rogues in a nation!

It is pretty unfair though as you can’t even say it’s England doing all this so much as London and wherever the Tories who vote on behalf of London live. It really sucks to watch and know politics here will go the same way as the rest of the Anglosphere.

Frosted Flake posted:Just so the slow roll and make them a Dominion first. Not even London really, there's just 21 of the 73 London seats that have a Tory MP, and that's mostly suburban sickos. The people to resent are the Home Counties. For example the only time in my lifetime that the Tories didn't have every MP in Surrey was 2001, where 1 Lib Dem got elected. Which was the only non-Tory to win Surrey since 1972. These people are the worst
