If the problem is our dickheads going over there and ruining the vibe by harassing the locals, sex workers, and pissing everywhere I have a solution:
Turn the whole area into an LGBT area with Gay Bars and Drag Queens and send over a few of our police to coordinate on patrols with the Dutch police.
I’m serious, on a night out on Canal Street in Manchester there is almost no dickheads because:
They stay away from Gay Bars because of their own insecure masculinity even though Gay Clubs have better music.
The Drag Queens, most of whom act as front of house, ticketing, and head floor management DO NOT suffer fools and anyone harassing or being a knob will be ejected them from the premises quickly.
The GM police love working with the Drag Queens who stand outside the clubs trying to convince punters to go inside because they’re an active part of keeping the whole area safe by pointing out antisocial behaviour. Also when they don’t have a dickhead to deal with, they’re having a good chat.
Edit:
Also a belated apology on behalf of my fellow idiot countrymen. Also I’m of the opinion both sex work and recreational marijuana should be legalised and regualted in the UK. Hopefully that would also help with stemming the flow of idiot tourists abroad.
Wind and solar can provide significantly more energy than the highest energy demand forecasts for 2050 and nearly ten times current electricity demand (299 TWh/year). The research shows up to 2,896 TWh a year could be generated by wind and solar, against the demand forecast of 1,500 TWh/year....
Here’s some other ideas that’ll turbocharge this green transition:
Get the Shetland to Scotland interconnect upgraded so they don’t have to keep switching off the turbines because they’re generating more power than Shetland consumes and can be transmitted back to the mainland.
Artificial energy islands off the north coast of Scotland to connect large amounts of wind turbines.
Approve and accelerate Viking Link to build out the future energy market with Norway.
Co-design and co-finance huge shared north sea wind farms with Norway.
Significantly increase taxes on capital gains with an exemption for green power investments. Stand back and watch how quickly private capital can move to fund large projects when properly incentivised.
Work with the City (of London) to create funds for people to invest via LISAs, Investment ISAs, and Pensions that fuel a new UK citizen owned green energy company. Stand back and watch as a new generation get wealthy the same way previous ones did when British Gas was privateised. Socilise the risk, socilise the profits.
I’m from the UK and from the North. Don’t try and understand the stupidity of these people from these areas as economically developed as the worst parts of former soviet states now in the EU. These areas received a lot of EU development funding and still voted for Brexit AND the Tories (in 2019) that imposed austerity that made their post 2008 lives worse.
They are thick as mince and deserve the ridicule as much as the lying brexit politicians deserve jail time.
The only hope to not repeating the mistakes is the best quality education for as many people as possible. This hopefully enough of the smart ones from these areas are politically aware and active enough to offset the manipulation of the morons.
They feed on toxicity, it’s the only way they know that gets the anger-produced adrenaline flowing through their veins. It’s addictive. Makes them feel alive and living, rather than festering in a rubbish-filled room dying a day at a time.
UK Labour are too Tory for me.
I've threatened that they've lost my vote. (edit)
On LGBTQIA, specifically trans rights.
On their plans for the NHS.
On their plans for health and wealth inequalities in the UK.
On their plans for the relationship the UK has with Europe.
They have to be less Tory to get my vote back.
It's not acceptable that to not vote Tory, we have to settle for what they offer. They assume their position is acceptable.
If they correct their position, I'll reconsider @uk_politics
