Many other countries dont have the UK obsession with home ownership, do they?
Maybe in others it doesn't make such a massive difference in your personal wealth.

Or it does but it's so ingrained people will just accept it even though it effectively makes them second class citizens. They're called landlords for a reason.

How gullible and naive are you to believe JSO propaganda,
According to Putin, Russia never bombs civilian targets.

Malc, I'm sure you agree that the activist farmers currently blocking roads in central London need to be met with the fullest force of the law. There is a major hospital the other side of the Westminster bridge, it is clearly completely unacceptable for these entitled morons to block the roads.

Anyone think this is all co-ordinated farming in general not some argument over taxation, I certainly got that impression with all the stuff in euro land which I still say is the best we had at the time, has anyone seen the state of bananas or cabbages for that matter?
It's been like back to the 60's.
I remember going down Cov market and a shipment of oranges destined for Germany were in stock for some reason 1.5 times the size of regular fayre!

I made the mistake of listening to PMs question time - Starmergeddon is incapable of answering a question - he reckons he’s a superhero - to me he’s just full of his own self importance - clearly the last lot were as bad - countries going to the dogs

Starmer whatever you think of him has a very long way to go before he matches the absolute mess that the last 14 years produced

I’m sure he can manage it if he carries on as he is.

He doesn’t answer questions at all, should be renamed Prime Ministers Waffle time. He sticks to a script of black hole, fixing the foundations blah, blah, blah. The Speaker should really challenge him on it.

He's been in charge for more than a few months and hasn't crashed the economy, so no he can't.

First time in my lifetime we have a government committed to reducing legal immigration and the right are throwing a fit. First one nationalising infrastructure and the left are throwing a fit. Maybe government by people constantly throwing a fit online isn’t the best way to run a country.

So you don’t live here then?

Well, I am in the house that I own, and pay a mortgage and bills on. I have breakfast here, work from here, and my dogs are also here. I walk them in our local park most days.

Not really sure, but I think that qualifies as technically living here. Do you want my council tax band as well?

Seems like quite a long-winded (or evasive?) way of answering quite a simple question!

Having breakfast, a house and dogs somewhere is not the same as living there but ok!

How is it not living here?

I'm paying bills and and a mortgage and wake up here every day.

You seem absolutely desperate to make an invalidation that doesn't exist.

Completely agree, I assume you will feel the same next JSO protest?

No idea. The article doesn’t say, even if 26 are planted how long before they reach maturity?
I'm no expert but it possibly means a loss of on road parking, I drove up there recently I think they've installed parking on the opposite side but if I'm not mistaken they all have driveways that could accommodate a couple of car's it's insane actually I mean where does the fund's come from for mollycoddling owner's who may four or five car's at home overnight possibly unused garage cos they don't put it away or sequence the order of the driveway for a quick getaway in the am ?
