I used to be anti the unions until the last government bailed out RBS with taxpayers money and Fred the Shred walked off with a multimillion £ pension pot. This pretty much made it clear to me where politicians' loyalties lie. Now I believe it is essential that people stick up for themselves in whatever way they can otherwise I can see us being forced back into a feudal society. Also, I am fed ...
To be honest, I think it is quite bad that the government sells on your personal information per se, let alone by default.
I just contacted 192.com to get my name removed from it because it was showing me as occupying the same address as my neighbours, being a block of flats. I didn't want to be on there anyway. Just to let you know, they get their data about you from: * The UK Electoral Roll (Full 2002 and the Edited Version 2003 – 2011) * The OSIS database (full listing of UK telephone numbers, not including ex ...
I can't see it either. What does this mean then "A pattern though is clear as daylight" if you weren't accusing Cosey as being Dallas?
What are they going to be auctioning off there? The Sun Burnt Arms?
I've never really understood this affordable housing malarkey. It just seems to me to be some scheme to sell houses to first time buyers whilst trying to ensure house prices do not fall in the area. The thing people have to realise is that the last decade of house price rises were due to overlending by banks and overborrowing by property speculators causing a housing bubble. Inevitably the ...
@flo - if you build enough housing to satisfy the demand, then you have affordable housing. you inevitably have to build slightly more to satisfy the borrow-to-let speculators. It takes 9 months to produce a baby and the standard tenancy is 6 months. This doesn't even allow for that fact that the responsibility does not end there. Even with a 6 month tenancy you can get kicked out if the house ...
All this procrastinating on house building is just holding back progress and damaging the economy. Young people are being denied a stable home in which they can start a family. People cannot move to new jobs without becoming accidental landlords because the market is jammed up by inflated prices. Builders, electricians, plumbers and jobs around house building have dried up because nothing is ...
The NIMBYS are out in full swing up North. Won't be long before we see the same thing down here: http://www.lep.co.uk/news/lep-business/neighbours_braced_for_giant_new_estate_plan_1_3950307 and http://www.lep.co.uk/news/lep-business/homes_giant_vows_to_battle_residents_1_3947143 You only need to look at the age of them to see they hardly represent a broad spectrum of society. It is a bit ...
@Ladysmile - this thread was highjacked by dallas and rainbow1 exchanging insults. i think you'll find they weren't aimed at you. I think dallas and rainbow1's posts should be deleted.
