Bobstar posted:Government to scrap plans for 'Henry VIII power' to end free movement Aside from everything else I just don't see immediate immigration enforcement as realistic - the UK currently indefinitely (though for the majority, albeit a slim one, it's only a couple months) locks up about 30k people per year for eventual deportation. If that were to expand to even 1% of the EU migrant population (and LMAO if you think that they would stop at only 1%) it would still quadruple the current immigration enforcement rate, which I imagine would overwhelm the capacity just a touch. If I weren't one of the people eminently at risk of being locked up I'd almost like to see the chaos it would be. e: phoneposting Private Speech fucked around with this message at 22:10 on Sep 1, 2019 |

jabby posted:Bear in mind a couple of Tories are suspended but can be reasonably expected to vote with the whip, and they don't count towards that majority of one. So it's actually a few higher but still single digits. Don't forget there's a certain couple independents who will probably support Johnson too.

Total Meatlove posted:1,2, maybe 3 then stop. Agreed with this, at least the first part. It drops off very quickly past the third season, and even that's mostly interesting because it shares characters with the first two. When the show first aired it was hugely popular in my late teens social group in the eastern europe. Was a bit surprised how dismissive most UK fresher coursemates were of it when I went to uni, but then again a fair few of them were from Bristol so maybe it was that more than anything.

The only other one I can think of is Five Guys, which is overpriced and quite disgusting if you ask me. Starbucks, Subway and Pizza Hut too, also Krispy Kreme and Taco Bell in a few places. Really that's quite plenty, I'm not sure how many more big US brands there even are. Uhh, olive garden I guess?

Junior G-man posted:You don't grow potatoes in greenhouses unless it's like a rare varietal or something that brings in loads of cash. The space is way too cramped and expensive per m2, you'd never get your money back. The Dutch grow a lot of potatoes because the centre/north of their country in particular is really well suited to it. Yeah sorry I have no idea about potatoes. I did google it and was going to edit this in: https://www.bizvibe.com/blog/food-beverages/potato-industry-netherlands/ posted:The Netherlands is the world leader in the potato industry in terms of potato production, potato exports, and potato processing. Despite the country’s small size, the Netherlands has managed to achieve the world’s highest potato crop yields through its innovative production, thus becoming one of the largest potato suppliers and potato seed suppliers in the global market. With potato remaining as one of the most popular and highest consumed agricultural food around the world, the potato industry in the Netherlands is expected to further strengthen its leading position in the global potato supply market.

I like this bit from the Guardian:graun posted:Sources within government said Johnson’s senior aide, Dominic Cummings, told fellow advisers on Friday that last week’s purge of rebel MPs such as Clarke was “only the beginning” of a ruthless strategy to push Brexit through. It is understood he told advisers: “By the time we get to the end of this, [those opposing Johnson’s plans] are going to melt.” Big brain Cummings.

This article title made me sigh inwardly: BBC News - Refugees fleeing Syria to UK: 'I've got a mortgage, a house, a car - we're not trouble' It's like they don't understand that gammons will see that headline as 'I've stolen a house and a car from you lot and am living it large on benefits'. Orr less charitably that's precisely why they put that quote into the headline. FFS BBC e: I also like how it celebrates that "more than" only 17 loving thousand syrian refugees settled in the UK. That's, uhh, very impressive, great job settling only such a tiny fraction in the second most populous EU country. Definitely a welcoming place.
