[Loud Whispers]

I for one am saddened by the recent trend of postmo architects trying to turn Old London into New New York.

[TD1]

I for two agree.

[LordSlowpoke]

postmodernism a shit

bring back the smoke stacks

[TD1]

And child labour.

Need clean stacks, after all.

[Loud Whispers]

SWEEP

SWEEP

SWEEP THE POSTMO AWAY

[Sergarr]

Postmo is the true evil.

[TD1]

We are in agreement, then. We shall use Child Labour to sweep the scourge of postmodernism off the face of the earth.

[Willfor]

I find this turn of the thread extremely funny. Mostly because everyone who complains of post-modernism is, themselves, a post-modernist.

The Scottish Parliament building.

[LordSlowpoke]

yeah, sounds like my new #1 argument against scottish independence

"if scotland breaks away, they'll have to govern themselves in that"

it also sounds like my new #1 argument for scottish independence

"if scotland's freed, they'll be able to bulldoze that and build something decent to govern themselves in"

[TD1]

Arghhhh,
My eyeeeeeeeeeeeeees.

Also, nice Union Jack.

Redeems the building somewhat

Sponsored by Glock, apparently.

That image will not load for me.  I take it I'm lucky.

Fun fact - said building was built by the Labour Party. It was ridiculously expensive due to their terrible incompetence in managing the construction. The SNP wanted to use this building:

But Labour said it was a "Nationalist shibboleth" and threw all their toys out of the pram and spent £414 million on that eyesore just to get at the SNP.

I would think that Europeans of all people would understand that the solution to unaffordable housing is to build more houses not turn on each other.  Don't you guys have mandatory propoganda highschool classes telling you that socialist building projects will solve everything?  IDK, I might have dozed off in history class.

In the UK we built loads of houses but then they all ended up in London and all ended up being bought by rich Chinese, Russian and Middle Easterner investors meaning we're back to square 1 but London's richer. Oh, and the counties are turning on whoever was at the head of the local building projects, if labour or con was there they take the flak. Plus no one really wants to live in the North as there's little up in the North because there's no industry, and then there's the whole demolishing the countryside for more infrastructure and housing that everyone but politicians tend to oppose. It varies from nation to nation, and even within nations it varies between little subsections.

Seems like you're doing the same for your Nuclear power plants.

Should place those in London as well, it only has benefits.
  - Less transmission loss
  - Nuclear District Heating
  - Radiophobia means lower housing prices
