Like all these steps, Scott - thanks for sharing

Thanks Adam, glad you enjoyed. If any friends or colleagues would benefit, please do pass on the link.

Stay woke, Jack

Thanks for tuning in and supporting, Rob!

It's a clip from a 70 minute podcast. Beyond that, we can safely assume I don't agree with your take that the media is right wing? Channel 4 are actively left wing, while the BBC is fully bought into the anti west narrative. There is reduced patriotism in the idea of being British. That's pushed by a leftist education system and hangwringing media.

Thanks Jack!

Knew you’d enjoy, thanks Nathan!

Lots of wisdom and great perspectives, Bryce. Thanks for tuning in, episode 230 with Frankie was great back in January too!

Thanks bro, enjoy!

Thank you, glad you enjoyed. We know Michael has been a real voice of reason during these times. Big respect for all the work you are doing for Scottish hospitality!

Thanks for sharing, Chris - glad Rory's ideas have got us considering it and you're able to share the practical element. Do you prefer land or water?!

Well both are expensive! A van is cheaper to run than a boat if you're not actually travelling around in it, but as soon as you start doing nomad stuff there's a whole mess of complications to consider. And the world is not set up for people who don't have a fixed address. Banking, insurance, licenses, access to services, it can all be hard. Not to mention basics like where do you poop! Then there's the issue of popularity, or surges. If everyone feels free to move to anywhere then everywhere nice quickly fills up with nomad vehicles. I was in Tenerife this winter, finding a decent spot was hard. Too many nomads escaping the northern winter! A campsite in the UK will cost anything from 20 to 70 pounds a night to park, and planning permission usually restricts visitors to one month maximum. Allowing long-term stays would enable sites to maintain a steady income during winter, but councils usually oppose the idea. Mooring a boat in my nearest marina runs about 400euro or more per metre of boat length for the summer season. 10-12 metres is normal for a liveaboard, so minimum 4 grand in rent for six months over and above the cost of the boat. It's cheaper in winter, but you'd probably want to go somewhere warmer and less rainy, joining the migratory herd that pushes up prices wherever you go. If you can find a spot, you can anchor a boat away from a marina. But then you're totally off grid and need a dingy to get to shore. Where do you put it when you get to the beach? How do you get from the beach to Sainsbury's? And what do you do when the inevitable storm comes? You are much more "in" your environment living on a boat, attuned to tides and weather, you can't ever leave it for more than a few hours. Next time it's pissing down with rain and you're looking out the window, imagine if your total floorspace was 50 or 80 square feet and you barely had room to stretch your arms out. And going outside meant stepping into a puddle of mud. No washing machine, no shower, maybe even no toilet without a long walk to the facilities. Nomad life is a lovely romantic idea, and can be a lot of fun for a holiday, even an extended one, but is not a long-term solution for a lot of people. I like Rory, he has a lot of great ideas, but he obviously doesn't have direct experience of this one and I think he's missing a lot of nuance. Fun interview though and it's good to see people daring to speak the heretical truth about property prices. Interesting talk about the hate crime bill and social media generally, btw. I used to do content moderation for Facebook, and wrote a book about it.

I guess the key point is that bad housing is better than no housing. 100k for Rory's theoretical off-grid mobile palace, plus 20k for a bit of land in the middle of nowhere to park it on, is still out of reach for a lot of people. But a converted Luton van in a lay-by is still a place to live, still a modicum of independence and freedom, even if it's not ideal. Changes to the laws and planning regulations would make it a lot easier for people who have few alternatives. But you're up against middle class fears of gypsies and hippies, anyone who's not normal. That's a big lift politically, can't see it happening. I'm in a van right now because I've made a conscious decision to experiment with nomad life for a while. I do pet/house sitting, find jobs with accommodation, so for me it's more of a transport with occasional accommodation than a mobile home. The boat was 25 years ago, thoroughly enjoyable, and I thought about doing it again. But it does work out a lot more expensive and a lot more restrictive than a van. It would be different if I wanted the cruising sailor lifestyle, but I really can't be bothered with the skills development, maintenance and generall faff involved.

@@chrisgraythereal Thanks for sharing, Chris - it really doesn't feel likely politically as you say. I think the option for a larger cohort should be made easier, even if not for mass adoption. My personal expectation is for increased home building while also having a greater understanding and grasp of the UK population.

The biggest issue and sore point is they knew the virus wasn’t a risk for them or 99% of people, but gleefully enforced harsh restrictions anyway

Thanks Derek, giving the guest space is a long term lesson from hosting the podcast. You're spot on, Rory will flow and as a host you just need to prompt and probe!

Thanks bro

Glad you enjoyed!

alcohol has zero health benefits, only negatives. If the social outcome outweighs the negative health benefits, then I can understand but weekly is a habit rather than a conscious choice.

respect that bro, well done

All the best, Paul - you've got this!

can you calculate for us please?

@@ColCamBro that's crazy hard maths bro. maybe get Neil deGrasse tYson on the podcast to help.

@@yebo56 I wouldn't take him too seriously after his stance during 'c0v1d' and the debate on gender/sex.

If it was invented tomorrow, it would illegal...

haha then it starts again!

Laughing all the to an early grave with cirrhosis. Find a better way to cope with the choices you’ve made in life.

@@RevealedFilms well said. The most angry comments are always from those who have had a light shone on their choices and felt discomfort. Causing them to lash out. A case of 'shoot the messenger'

a lot of online creators very guilty of it

Love to hear that, Rory was fully unleashed - glad you enjoyed!

Thank you Dan, appreciated - hope you enjoy some of the archive of over 250 others and a new one each Sunday!
