House of Lords reforms or at least attempting to reform the House of Lords. Quite famously as well. Surprised you need to ask the question.

You do realise that you’re backing the poster with the worst record of predicting vote outcomes on the entire site. The Tories were going to consign Corbyn and Labour to the scrap heap in the last election remember.

It’s almost as if people who have been conditioned to be far left by a repressive dictatorship such as East Germany fall naturally to the far right when liberated by democracy such as the Berlin Wall falling and the unification of Germany. It’s almost as if when you go as left as possible the...

Astute doesn’t read articles. He reads headlines and then makes assumptions on the content of the article, usually wrong. Most of the articles he links dismiss his own point of view and enforces yours.

Exactly. I worked as a contractor on new housing developments for many a year for companies like Bloors, Wimpy, Westbury Homes and when they were taken over Persimmons too. Of those the only one with any interest in brown field sites was Bloors, maybe because they were smaller and still...

That’s just for Coventry presumably Dave? It does seem to take ages to get these housing developments going on brown field sights. The old college in Rugby sat derelict for years even after the buildings had been levelled, the majority of the site was a car park and green space too. They’re...

I think the majority of letting agencies stock is in the ownership of private owners rather than themselves from my experience. They are part of the issue though. When we were a landlord we initially used a letting agent and started at the going rate, after a year they wanted to increase the...

All the government help to buy schemes as well. I don’t begrudge anyone using them to get on the housing ladder and indeed if my own children are looking to get on the housing ladder in the future along with bank of mum and dad they’ll undoubtedly have to use them but again isn’t this systemic...

Been a private landlord myself although I got out a couple of years ago to move the money into something else. Have to add that I rented to a professional couple who were paying below the going rate because they were good tenants and we wanted to retain their business and they wasn’t a burden on...

The scenario I’ve just described to you is not recent history. It’s been going on for decades under successive governments. Send them all back will change nothing. If every immigrant, illegal or otherwise, every asylum seeker, successful or otherwise go back tomorrow nothing will change. We’ll...

They’re building an entire new town on the outskirts of Rugby at the moment on the site of the old radio station. There’s space. What there isn’t is an appetite by developers to develop the land that they have in their land banks. The government has changed the law to make it easier to develop...

You have to add to that they were first defeated in court with the Gina Miller JR which I would think ultimately led to them defeats in Parliament as the JR insured that Parliament was sovereign with Brexit. The boss of a hedge fund (an industry as we all know too well on this site was spewed...

I think West Ham would be a backwards step for him.

How many exactly do you think are leaving the EU to get to us? How do you think that number compares to the numbers settling in the EU? Or even Germany or Sweden for that matter?

Funnily enough they didn’t. That’s why Fance and England declared war on Germany.

If it does though just remember that it was me who won the internet;) The other side to the coin though is that just say because there’s an out for Richardson (if indeed there is) it doesn’t mean that there’s an in for either the club or SISU. It’s possible that he may sell it on to a...

Here’s an idea. Why don’t we have two referendums in quick succession. The first being leave or remain on the understanding that if we vote leave we then have a second referendum on what leave actually means. The Canada+ favoured by the ERG or Norway as favoured by UKIP before the goalposts...

The one where we have a veto and could block this being rolled out as EU policy. If we remained we’d be no more obligated to joining this than we would to be to joining the Euro or changing our passports from blue to red. This is German/French domestic policy. Begs the question which EU did you...

Callum Wilson: Chelsea target is worth £50m, says Dion Dublin I see Dion has been bigging Callum up saying he’s worth every bit of £50m should Chelsea pay it. Cheers Dion.
