Fires are gonna make the Tory mandate about 10x stronger. We fires preferentially increase the wealth of the leftover landlords.

And the Tory mandate is destroy all affordable housing or make it so cheaply its terrifying to live in.

Fires suck. I lost my home in 2017 and basically left with a car full of anything I could carry or think of on the spot. So much poo poo just gone forever. Takes forever to rebuild esp with ENGLISH BUILDERS (sickos haha yes but it's insurance companies.)

Fires can cause insurance flight (bit unsure how home insurance in Britain works and I'm guessing that it's the same as the US but different regulator it please clarify if im wrong thank you in advance) from areas that become prone to them or expected to be prone.

In general you should have a box or two of N95s or N99s as the smoke inhalation is really really bad for you especially if it's like it was here which was weeks of darkness and orange skies and horrible air quality.

Fires suck.

Severn Trent just texted me to let me know it's the driest year in over a century. Waiting for the text about all the infrastructure improvements they've done in the better years to help cope.

0.000% of Communism has been built. Evil child-murdering billionaires still rule the world with a shit-eating grin. All he has managed to do is make himself *sad*. It has, however, made him into a very, very smart boy with something like a university degree in Truth. Instead of building Communism, he now builds a precise model of this grotesque, duplicitous world.

In April 2014, she became the chief executive of Severn Trent.[11] In July 2015, while she was the chief executive of Severn Trent she oversaw the takeover of Severn Trent Water Purification, a subsidiary of Severn Trent Plc, by Italian company DeNora [12] which resulted in redundancies.

He was a useful source during the brexit shenannigans where he was able to break scoops of "This person's office is preparing to brief this way," or "This obscure comittee released this statement, and this minister is part of that committee." If you go back, most of the statements he made on votes were right.

I still maintain that when he was just reporting "This thing happened," he was actually pretty good at that. Whether it's because he was doing the legwork or both sides saw him as a useful 'source' to leak agendas to, I don't know.

The problem - as with so much in politics - is that he made a name for himself and got promoted past his limit of competence, i.e. to the point where he had to start doing analysis on broader politics, which he is absolutely dogshit at. Partly because the political landscape was completely different under a hung parliament and he still thinks who's talking about what matters under a majority government, and partly because people are no longer leaking him the right info.

He was also promoted past the point of going out and gathering the info himself by talking to MPs and insiders, so now not only is the analysis terrible, the info that the analysis is based on is also substantially worse.

Don't think this has been posted yet. It's an editorial, not a comment piece, so reflects the "official" view of the paper. While there's the obvious "where was this kind of editorial 2015-2019?", it's interesting in that the Guardian is using a moment of crisis to be a kind of vanguard and push more left than the current Labour party which seems like a thing worth highlighting

Watch what they do as soon as anyone starts trying to actually do it. It's pure virtue signalling. Dogs chasing the car, but they'll stop and savage anyone who suggests getting the car to put its brakes on.

Pleasantly surprised that despite the rainfall being shite and the weather boiling, Anglian Water are apparently only down to 90% of average reservoir capacity for this time of year. Maybe a hosepipe ban won't be needed here after all.

I don't even know what my local reservoir is, never mind how to find info about the levels. All I could see from Scottish Water was a press release that levels are average for summer in most areas, except "In eastern and southern areas such as Fife and the Scottish Borders"
