Re: The state of the UK
Oops somebody did not pay enough:
Government throws out plans for 305-metre Tulip tower in London
Government throws out plans for 305-metre Tulip tower in London
In a chumocracy you have to pay. It was probably too Dutch anyway.Decision welcomed by Historic England, which said building would have been ‘visually intrusive’ and ‘highly incongruous’
Controversial plans to build a 305-metre high tower in the City of London have been thrown out by the government.
The surprise decision, announced by the Department for Levelling up, Housing and Communities, ends a long-running saga of contradictory decisions on the fate of the planned tourist attraction – designed by Foster + Partners and called the Tulip – at 20 Bury Street in London’s financial district.
Ministers cited the impact it would have on the Tower of London, and “the highly unsustainable concept of using vast quantities of reinforced concrete for the foundations and lift shaft”, among the reasons for rejecting the scheme and called it “a muddle of architectural ideas”.
If built, it would have become the tallest tower in the City, and the second-tallest in London, just 5 metres smaller than the Shard on the other side of the river. Its striking design included a 12-storey glass dome on top of a concrete pole, with observation decks open to the public, bars and restaurants, as well as glass slides and bridges inside.
The decision was made by the housing minister Christopher Pincher on behalf of the secretary of state, Michael Gove, and followed the recommendation of planning inspector David Nicholson to reject the scheme, following a public inquiry held last November. Gove’s predecessor, Robert Jenrick, was due to make the final decision on the tower in September but was removed from his post.

Re: The state of the UK
Such a great fucking service.
NHS patients dying in back of ambulances stuck outside A&E, report says
NHS patients dying in back of ambulances stuck outside A&E, report says
The UK is a first world country?Exclusive: handover delays across England are also causing permanent harm to those needing urgent care
People are dying in the back of ambulances and up to 160,000 more a year are coming to harm because they are stuck outside hospitals unable to be offloaded to A&E, a bombshell report has revealed.
Patients are also dying soon after finally getting admitted to hospital after spending long periods in the back of an ambulance, while others still in their own homes are not being saved because paramedics are trapped at A&E and unable to answer 999 calls, said the report by NHS ambulance service bosses in England.
In addition, about 12,000 of the 160,000 are suffering “severe harm” such as a permanent setback to their health. These include people with life-threatening health emergencies such as chest pains, sepsis, heart problems, epilepsy and Covid-19 because growing numbers of paramedics are having to wait increasingly long times to hand over a patient to A&E staff.
Ambulance logjams outside hospitals have become a major problem in the NHS in recent years as A&E staff have struggled to find beds for patients they have decided to admit because the hospital has run out of beds as a result of Covid-19, their inability to discharge patients who are medically fit to leave and the record demand for care.

Re: The state of the UK
Boris Johnson says the UK is not ‘remotely a corrupt country’. Is it?
FFS he invented Chumocracy.Analysis: the reality looks different as the PM defends his government’s reputation over allegations of sleaze
At a press conference on Wednesday, Boris Johnson faced such a barrage of questions about ethical standards in politics that he felt obliged to argue that the UK “is not remotely a corrupt country”.
This was an unusual step for a British prime minister to take, and begged the question: well, is it?
Johnson’s government has faced numerous claims connected to corruption, vested interests and wider misgovernment. Below are some of the main concerns.

Re: The state of the UK
Chumocracy rules:

Half of Tory ex-ministers take jobs in sectors relevant to former department
The UK is not a corrupt country Boris? Bloody amazing.More than 50 ministers under Johnson and May took posts with firms in sectors they covered in government
Half of all ministers who have left office in the Boris Johnson or Theresa May governments later took up posts with companies relevant to their former government jobs, the Guardian has found.
An analysis of those who left departmental ministerial roles up until the most recent reshuffle found more than 50 took up employment as advisers in industries where they had government expertise or as more general political consultants.
Many of them are still parliamentarians – either in the Commons or the Lords – where they occupy second jobs in addition to their work as lawmakers. And at least a dozen were cabinet ministers, some of them with direct links between their jobs and former government briefs.
Patrick McLoughlin, a former transport secretary, now lists remunerated employment with Airlines UK, an industry lobbying body, and XRail, a railway services company, while another former transport secretary, Chris Grayling, took a £100,000-a-year job as a strategic adviser to a ports company.
Nicky Morgan, a former culture secretary, Treasury minister and now a peer, took on roles on the board of Santander bank, and as a consultant to Travers Smith corporate law firm, a senior adviser to the lobbying and PR firm Grayling, and last week became the independent chair of the Association of British Insurers.
Several former ministers also took up roles advising foreign governments or their state organs, including the former Foreign Office minister Mark Field, who was approved for a job advising the Cayman Islands, and Philip Hammond, the former chancellor and now a peer, who got advisory roles to Kuwaiti and Bahraini financial authorities.

That's not limited to the UK. And I'd be surprised if it didn't happen as well in Clogland.
