t’s more that the plan doesn’t place the ports under a foreign jurisdiction and legal system. This is quite a big distinction compared to them both being “special”. So the big difference is that you believe NI would no longer be subject to the British legal system if it were agreed to move EU/UK cu...

Special customs area = member of the European Union. Idiot. There are many ways to interpret that jumble of words but I don't want to be accused of misinterpreting you.

Legarde will simply be a figurehead. A figurehead on a massive salary. She is a lawyer. All the heavy-lifting will be done by others. Has she ever shown anything that suggests she can run the ECB? She worked her way up to become the first woman head of a major US international law firm while specia...

Good luck with Von der Leyen. She might turn out to be as dodgy as Legarde. Unlike the honest MP's of GB, who've been falsifying their expenses for decades. or Farrage who failed to declare his earnings and backers in the Brexit debarcle - honest to a man gov'. She didn’t mess around with a few gra...

However my point was regarding Conservative MPs who would be unlikely to vote fo a policy that would drive a coach and horses through the UK's single market. Why would you think that when special customs zones (e.g. for Teesside) were all the rage in the Tory party until recently? A party study sug...

What do we all make of the bus connect stuff? On one hand, it would dramatically improve the bus system and as such it can be argued it's a necessary evil. But it is going to dramatically change some roads for the worse. IMO wrecking the more laid back feel of most places outside the centre. In our...

What % chance do you think there is of that being build? I'm going for something close to 0.

Our productivity is way down the European lists. Yes but that's something of a policy choice. A choice other countries, like Germany, have also made. You liberalize your labour market, then you make it easier to hire people - particularly the lower paid. This lowers your productivity per hour by wo...

My understanding is that he was found mentally fit at the time of the assessment.

Ireland does not have a refugee problem really - the number of applicants is tiny and the number of grants is miniscule. There were 600k asylum applications in the EU in 2018 and only about 3.5k in Ireland - way below the EU rate. Ireland also has one of the highest rejection rates in Europe - less ...

As I was comparing with "shitshow" with Weidel's speech, I was not actually calling Roth unintelligent. An irrelevant aside - German speakers tend to use the english word "shit" surprisingly frequently even in formal settings. For example the word "Shitstorm" has been imported and I've seen its use...

Derriz, you a transport engineer or work in that line of work? Nah I'm an amateur, munsterman - I've an engineering background (sorry I don't have a scan of my degree post just now) but my shameful secret is a long running nerdy interest in public transport. Funny enough, I lived right around the c...

Again, the proposal was for a fully grade separated metro line. To achieve grade separation, one small public road would be severed. Anywhere the line WAS to cross a road, it was to be grade separated . Not at Dunville Avenue. The crossing was to be AT GRADE walled either side, with a pedestrian ov...

derriz

And finally, at grade means, quite simply, at street/road level. Again, no it doesn't - google it or look it up on wikipedia ffs. You can't say a road is "at grade" or a rail line is "at grade". You do say an intersection or crossing happens at grade or is grade separated. If they built a road brid...

derriz

At grade means, quite simply, at street level. No it does not. At grade or grade separated is a property of junctions. Rail lines and roads can join/cross at grade or be grade separated even if both are elevated or underground. It has nothing to do with "street level". The metrolink proposal was fo...

Terminating a metro line in the city centre is absolutely daft. It's a carbon copy of what f**ked up the original green Luas line. A bunch of politicians and NIMBYs got involved and the cross-city plan was shelved and only half the line was built. 10 years later, at massive expense and disruption, p...

I've never been convinced by Boris's "incredible intelligence" but you have to hand it to him - getting thousands of quid for effectively writing the same article every week is smart work.

The reality is that back in the 50's and 60's when we were dreaming of an automated/robotisized future, we imagined that this technology would be used to help us work less and enjoy life more. But this is not the case. The technology is used to employ less people (not work less hours, but employ le...

Aaaahhhhhhhh So they're effectively buying you. In that sense then it's a bit like an employment offer with a very big golden hello, and probably some golden handshake type arrangement So in that case probably the biggest question here is how does this compare to whatever exit strategy you had in m...

Fun and all as baiting Cam can be, there are clearly issues with this plan. Blithely dismissing the concerns of residents whilst one of the biggest fúck ups of a public contract is ongoing seems short-sighted. The idea of "fúck them, they're from Ranelagh" is to be expected from the gutter press, b...

So in reverse land the two lads questioning qualified civil engineering experts and talking about shelving a plan for a 200 year train service because of a fúcking through road are the non hysterical ones.

If furlong and camroc were brits, they'd be brexiteers. They seem to believe that the average man in the street can look at a large complex problem and come up with simple superior solutions than the "experts".

Put the fúcking metro on a bridge over Dunville Ave as the original Harcourt Street line ran and you get rid of all problems, including the current alignment dip between Ranelagh and Cowper which will be fun at 90kph on full metro.
