HS2 is making Britain an international laughing stock
  • I've been using the term "post-developed" for a while now, mostly as a crude joke. However, unfortunately I think as time is going on it is becoming more and more apt to describe certain western economies.

    Perhaps something along the lines of "when a society shifts from long-term investment to short-term cost saving, it is at risk of becoming a post-developed economy."

    So much of the UK's decision making seems centred around how "we are so great" (cough EU is stopping us from achieving our potential cough) rather than "we need to invest to be able to compete."

    Even Thatcherism, as toxic and awful as that was, was centred around pushing the economy forward to a new level of (horribly misguided) development.

    Of course, I'll caveat that I am severely under-educated on these topics, but it is a running theme I'm starting to see emerge.

  • How can my wife and I make new friends?
  • Not seen anyone say this yet, but last year my partner and I were in a similar boat. Bumble (the dating app) has a "BFF" mode for making friends. It's worked out amazingly for us and we now have a great group.

    It can take a bit of persistence, and like dating, some won't work out. But it's a great way to meet potential friends, and even in relatively small cities you'll find some people on there.

  • Barcelona is blocked: non payment of 60m lever precludes them from registering players
  • This is honestly such a spectacular shitshow. While simultaneously being an incredible work of financial engineering to manufacture these levers and injections of cash. Likely we will see courts involved, and it would be interesting if the nonpayment results in barca retaking ownership of assets that were "sold" last summer. Effectively renewing a "lever" for them.

  • Getting Started

    Hey every(any?)one,

    Thought I'd get it started here as I don't think I'll be going back to reddit, but I'd love to get an alternative.

    I've seen the kbin nufc community, but I thought maybe the UK feddit would be a better place for an nufc community.

    Is anyone even here? 😂
