That doesn't mean that many people living that close together is healthy though. I suspect without knowing that apartments in Korea wouldn't meet the UK minimum space standards. It would also involve a shift in attitude for the UK population to accept living in high rise apartments. It would be living hell for me. Well it wouldn’t be living more like existing.

Well it wouldn’t be living more like existing. Quality of life and life expectancy in Korea are both on a par of not ahead of the UK, so I would submit that it's not that big a problem. Of course, it's not all great; workplace and school culture that breeds an immense amount of stress is pervasive here. It's the idea of change that would be the biggest obstacle, yes. But that's a psychological rather than a practical one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're are constantly told by our Council and MP that it's due to central government underfunding. Something like 70% of the councils budget has to be raised directly from council tax. Not everyone who lives in rural areas are wealthy, far from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brizzle Fox Posted 5 August 2022 Share Posted 5 August 2022 I'd suggest the only thick ones here are the so called Red Wall voters who.turned blue at the last election. Imagine thinking a party who despises them would ever do anything to help them. Silly people. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's taken me 28 years but I finally agree with this. I no longer feel like they respresent me at all. Truss vs. Sunak, is that the best that this country has to offer? Both will be awful. Recession looming, cost of living crisis, wages stagnating (on a personal level). Thank **** I've got my health and football. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just confirming what those of us who would never Tory already knew about their leveling up agenda. Never dreamt though that anyone from their top table would admit it to camera. Thicker than I thought, and to think he's the sensible one of the two contenders for the leadership. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to caveat that - I think we'd be in an infinitely better situation if Brexit hadn't happened so if Cameron had lost then, sure, we'd be better off. But, maybe I'm jaded, but I really don't think we'd be vastly better off if Corbyn had gotten in post Brexit. Man wanted Leave anyway. P Corbyn would've been ousted pretty quickly I'd have thought, Corbyn betraying his principles on brexit as well didn't make him the right man to negotiate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their policies are divisive, they've all become tribal. To me the Country is fractured it's left v Right, well that's how it feels to me. It's depressing, as I can't see how any party is going to solve this state of malaise we're in and unite the country. But you're probably right, unless there is a massive change which is very unlikely the next government will be Labour or a labour coalition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kopfkino Posted 6 August 2022 Share Posted 6 August 2022 The 10 minute Mick Lynch video is superb. I’m not a huge fan of fawning over media appearances (think half is strength is not being a media trained robot) or social media stuff when he hasn’t actually achieved anything but I’m joining the fawning train. Yet again why is somebody else a better Leader of the Opposition than the Leader of the Opposition? Clearly daily Westminster politics is different and maybe he’d get found out like the rest of them but why do we get some absolute shite rise through the ranks/why do they become so useless when they’re in that environment?
