For a joint statue I'd say this

😁

I can hardly complain about someone giving a long answer! I prefer it to a one-sentence dismissal. I admit I'm really not a fan of those doing developments to rent, as it's basically having cake and eating it at the expense of others. I think there needs to be more thought given to certain...

I agree that it's a difficult concept to work with if they're not engaged with actual budgeting decisions. It's something that parents could definitely do more with, say keeping an account either at a bank or just at home, where they pay pocket money/chore money into and make the child pay for...

This is what I was saying about the Jubilee and the conversation about the future of the monarchy. Charles is opinionated, but he mother has kept the institution going by not being, as they're not supposed to exert their power and influence (even if I agree with his opinion). I keep hearing in...

Yes, but then the counter argument is made that those people who identify as women don't feel safe in the male toilets. Basically, the correct answer is "it's an absolute fucking mess and there is no right answer because someone will feel vulnerable. JK Rowling has been taking a lot of shit...

Which is better than a pound shop non-share ownership scheme.

Careful! Grendel will accuse you of being a racist.

I think that's hardly something that's a rarity in political circles. Johnson spent the whole election campaign answering every single question with the same three words.

It's swings and roundabouts isn't it. WFH pay a bit more in electric etc, those travelling to work pay a fortune in fuel/travel costs. Plus travelling to work takes time. So if WFH get a contribution to their electric bills, those going to a workplace should be paid the travel costs and time...

Our team would be too unbalanced - far too many left wingers apparently...

It is the first week of the World Cup. Just no-one told the journos it's been moved to November...

Shouldn't the administrators be hauled over the coals for this, as it's their choice of preferred buyer that has led to this situation and pretty much everyone thought the guy was a bit suss going on his history and then a little bit of digging into businesses (which should be part of due...

The 'landlord' is the local authority, so the 'business model' isn't about financial gains. Otherwise they'd own 100% of the property for a minimal rent and be entirely responsible for all upkeep. Plus with this type of housing there's often many other problems locally associated with it in...

Are we just going to keep talking about Newton forever likes it the Neverending Story.

What are you talking about getting no return? When they move, they keep the proceeds of their 50% stake. So say a house is worth £200k - they would sell their half for £100k and keep it. I agree entirely about owning more than one home.

Swings and roundabouts. If someone abroad rents an entire house but here four people share one, the equivalent cost is still those four people combined. Plus we've got much smaller houses than abroad so chances are in sq m it's actually even more than that.

That is because of the problems with parking etc. which was designed in to try and make people use public transport. Now it's been accepted that that often isn't feasible for various reason and a private vehicle is pretty much necessary for many. Provide the parking and car ownership would...

But then who does own all the houses instead? Unless every single house is owned by the state it just increases the wealth divide. I agree the obsession with house prices and increasing value of property is ridiculous and is a mindset we need to work away from, but that isn't going to happen...

More stock on the market, but only designed to benefit a very small number. I very much doubt your mate driving aim was to provide the housing to people and more to make a very tidy profit out of it. Would it be impossible to build, or just that they wouldn't get as high a return as they wanted...
