Comrie Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Anything that discourages property management companies gobbling up vast swathes of the market to rent out at extortionate prices is good in my book. A two bedroom flat where I stay is £600 p/m regardless of the condition of the flat. Considering wages up here are among the lowest in the UK it totally hampers any chance to save you have. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Venom Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 [emoji38] I think you risk falling into a Tory fallacy. There is enough money in the U.K. to pay decent pensions* AND fund affordable housing AND fund free further and higher education AND fund a proper level of social security. Adjustment to the tax regime, not letting multi-nationals away with murder and stopping wasting money on nuclear weapons are just three ways of releasing this money. Next to imposing debilitating austerity, the ruling classes like nothing better than pitching one group in society against another (pensioners v students, homeowners v tenants, employed v unemployed) by peddling the myth of not having enough for all. Don’t fall into the Tory trap. * U.K. state pensions are amongst the least generous in the EU. I was being heavy facetious but when the revolution happens your generation are getting absolutely f**k all, k? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted April 21, 2019 Author Share Posted April 21, 2019 The Brexit debacle has shown just how far to the right the Conservative Party has swung. For the most part the Parliamentary Party is more moderate than the grass roots by a significant margin. After the next GE I see a far more polarised HoC, partly due to the fact that there will be no major breakthrough by a centrist party. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best explanation for this is that his accountant has been ripping him off for decades. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
