- Samizdata quote of the day – the coming storm 12th February 2026And here is where Britain’s particular brand of suicidal virtue-signalling becomes lethal. The Liberal West, and Britain most zealously, has spent fifteen years chasing Net Zero with the fervour of a medieval flagellant. We’ve shuttered coal, dithered on nuclear, blanketed the countryside with unreliable windmills, and now face the grim prospect of energy rationing. The […]Thomas Fairfax (Yorkshire)

- The Real Meaning of Sabotage: A 1913 IWW Classic by Gerald O. Desmond 10th February 2026
London sucks. Well, Britain in general sucks if you ask me. We’ve got one of the crappest climates ever.
We’ve got one of the crappest climates ever.
Oh yeah…that too…
I so wanna get the fuck out of here one day – problem is I dunno where I’d go yet…..
Well, also you have to take into consideration that it’s almost impossible to move anywhere anymore. Take America for example – there’s actually no such thing as an application for permanent residency without a) marrying an American or b) having loads of family there who basically sponsor you to move.
So actually, I think we’re pretty much stuck here.
I’ve always wondered how much does it cost to live in london?
and how much are taxes?
I think all cities suck, but I went to London a lot when I was a kid, and its by for the best of a bad bunch, but I would pick trees anyday.
Taxes are the same as everywhere else – too high! One pence of tax is one pence too many.
And being the capital, it’s pretty damned expensive. Some peeps pay ‘tween £500 – £800 for a month’s rent of rooms, depending on area….
…good thing I’m still at home for the time being…;)
