Shipping people out of the UK to Australia?
That’d never work. You’d have to charge them at least ten pound.

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.

The current population of the UK is somewhere around 68 million.

Thats enough people that you could probably find “dozens” who would say yes to just about anything.

That group of 34 people moving to Russia have been referred to by some as the Russia 34, or R34 for short.

Yeah, I saw that.

They even setup an entire website dedicated to the magnificence of Putin.

Just search for “R34 Putin Russia”

That’d be about 0.00005% I think.

You can laugh, but the drywall installers of the UK ain’t laughing. Patching up the headbutt dents in the homes of these angry potatoes is their bread and butter.

The trick is to fit 9.5mm every time, until their partner asks if there is a way to make it stronger.

Then fit 2 layers of 15mm soundboard.

Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think “reputable news source” needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
