At least 34 people have requested to move to Russia from the UK

What does this mean. So the actual number could be any number between 34 and the entire population of the UK?

Or, does it mean that there is 34 people that we know of. And they're having trouble finding anyone else.

I wonder how many Russians have left Russia in the same time period.

I also wonder what percentage 34 people are of the entire population of the UK.

It just strikes me as a desperate propaganda ploy from the Kremlin. Inflating a nothing burger beyond all proportion.

I wish our expats well. And the best of luck to 'em.

Maybe you could hang around downtown with a sign around your neck advertising "Free Hugs".

A bit of a click batey title. Omitting the salient point that this is for the Backerloo line. As for the rest of the station it's been a long time step free. Well, the National Rail part. The H&F and Circle line that follows the H&F alignment a bit more recent. Is the District and the part of H&F that follows it's alignment also step free? Or is it the last access standing?

Even for Nazis getting Nazi tattoos, there's redemption. A way out. But there has to be a willingness to take that first step. The tragedy of the comic strip is that the person getting the tattoo and shaving their allows themselves to be defined by others. And it's not just the normies and the left that's doing it. It's a grotesque, sure but for those on the outside, it kinda looks like that.

One of the things that cults do is carve off people from the wider populace. It's them that say "everyone is against you" it's them that say that "there's no way back, so you might as well throw your lot in with us. We are the only ones that understand and accept you. As long as you behave in a way that we feel is acceptable, or do something for us".

Staying in the cult starts off the easy path rather than seek to change yourself. Then, after a while you start falling for the sunk cost fallacy. It's that, that keeps you in the long term even when times get tough.

But, there is always redemption, a way out. And blaming your whole life on other people isn't a particularly efficient tactic. Again, personal responsibility.

But if you seriously believe those other guys are that bad, just break out into a civil/world war already, there's basically no other way to solve that problem...

That's quite reductive. One can see someone as that bad, but still find them redeemable. But it's a two way street. There needs to be a bit of personal responsibility.

Or Gators.

It's OK the NHS has GPs coming out of it's ears...

At this stage, I'll settle for a guilty verdict and a perp walk.

I think the trade is, you take on the purchase of the house, and the landlord takes on all the downside risk.

Not so sure that will work. ESIMs are really convenient and cost effective for travelers and people who flit between countries. You can even load up an ESIM before leaving for a country. Your other option is to pay through the nose for roaming. Or arranging a pay as you go SIM in a country where you may not have a full grasp of the language.

Not gonna lie, if this were a real product, I'd be tempted. You see, for Android phones, ESIM registration uses propriety Google code. A programmable device that can present to the phone as a regular SIM would be a boon.
