  1. Thanks for that, I just spat my ‘covfefe’
  2. So long as he doesn’t saying anything to incite a coup, he’s a vast improvement on his predecessor.
  3. Anyone who wishes to ‘disappear’ will simply cut the tag off.
  4. Feel free to post a photo of yourself annotated with your age to help us out.
  5. Good to here he’s not hurt. I’ve been a good cyclist since a boy, my old club has a guy who is 93 years old who still regularly joins club rides. It’s a great sport, more should try it.
  6. Though some outside of Russia choose to tune into RT.
  7. Securing access to these huge agricultural resources by diplomacy and treaty seems a far smarter, let alone more humane, means of doing so than engaging in an unprovoked war to make a land grab.
  8. All of his suffering is self inflicted. He jumped bail, then hid from Justice, when he was finally removed from hiding he complained he wasn’t being allowed bail again. I’ve got more respect for young scrouts up and down the country who when charged with a crime, man up and present themselves at court to face judgement. Assange is a narcissist who believes himself above the law. He’s been indicted, extradite him to trial in a court of law and let the jury decide.
  9. He’s not going to be executed. The UK/US extradition treaty does not permit execution.
  10. It’s also the ‘grip’ house prices have on voter sentiment. Research by Prof. Glen Bramley (Herriot Watt University) concludes there is a backlog of 3.9 million households seeking accommodation, most living with parents and grandparents. To address the backlog the UK needs to build 340,000 homes a year. Such a building plan would put at risk UK house price inflation (The inflation homeowners obsess over). It would also undermine the private rental market. Building the homes the UK needs would undoubtedly cost the Government support at the ballot box. https://pure.hw.ac.uk/ws/files/24741931/HousingSupplyMay2019.pdf
  11. Nobody is proposing tenants are allowed to ‘squat’. The proposal is to end ‘no fault evictions’, if a tenant breaks the terms of a contract that is ‘a fault’ for which eviction might be the remedy.
  12. These proposals would not be made if there was not widespread abuse by landlords. If you decide to invest in a business in which your ‘get out clauses’ dump problems on the State then don’t r surprised when the Government respond to widespread abuse by other investors with increased regulation.
  13. And skipped his scheduled appearance at a ‘Leveling-Up’ conference in Doncaster. Roll on the bi-elections.
  14. It’s attitudes like this that make this change in the law necessary.
  15. It’s not simply Ginni Thomas’s role in the attempted coup. Her husband was the only SCOTUS judge to vote against the release of Mark Meddows’ text messages, 29 of which were from Justice Thomas’ wife. This stinks of corrupt intent, Justice Thomas needs to be removed from the SCOTUS. https://amp.theguardian.com/law/2022/mar/25/ginni-thomas-texts-clarence-ethics-supreme-court-conflict-of-interest
  16. Did you ever doubt that Tory policy is to push wealth and capital up the ‘food chain’? There are £Trillions in plain view lining the streets of the UK currently in the possession of ordinary working people, don’t expect that to be allowed to continue. Home ownership is already out of reach for millions and that number is growing. The logical trajectory is for homes to wind up in the possession financial institutions and businesses.
  17. The same can be said of people who spend there life living in private rented accommodation.
  18. Remind me if I’m remembering the sequence here, all that came after selling off council houses, and cutting spending on building replacements.
  19. All that testimony under oath from Republicans within Trump’s administration, even Trump’s own daughter giving evidence against her father’s lies, yes awfully ‘one sided’. Let’s take the evidence to a criminal court and see how it goes.
  20. Anybody paying attention to the Jan 6 hearings will understand how near the US came to losing its democracy.
  21. The proposals in this bill are excellent. Well done those who drafted the bill, now get it passed without being watered down.
  22. If they are not in the UK how are they claiming benefits? Or is your ‘broad negative stereotyped generalization wrt to foreigners from the EU’ getting in the way of you working that out?
