Let’s hope that social care, dentistry and general practice can all be automated.
Let’s hope that social care, dentistry and general practice can all be automated.Thinking about the budget. I wonder if the thinking behind loading the tax onto particularly low wage employment is to try and drive up automation as they’re making full expensing permanent. Maybe just cope.
TBH I have seen many, many very large scale building developments around the couple of places I have lived over the past 6 years or so and I am sure there are quite a few boomers in those areas. Obviously not terribly successful at stopping such developments.
Perhaps developers should be required to include a higher percentage of affordable starter homes in their plans.
It is quite possible that many rental properties (student or otherwise) will come back on to the market. Thing is , like the right to buy experience, once they are gone they are gone and they probably aren’t in sufficient numbers to address the issue. Their return to owner occupier status will almost certainly see rents increase.
To be fair that option was also being suggested by Leave before they actually won.The UK could have retained a customs union and / or remained a member of the single market without being an EU member. Without going over tired old ground, the remain campaign disastrously went for an all or nothing approach and it got nowhere.
It could have been COBRA ( Checkers of Office for Budget Responsibility’s Arithmetic) except thats already been used. @fernandopartridge would have been Chairperson.Who OBRs the OBR?
More anecdotal racist claptrap from Marty. May be aluen to you but you might want to consider referencing proper research and evidence to inform your opinion. For someone who has made lots of mysoginistic jokes, good to see there is a caring side for your 'missus'.I live on a street with many HMOs for students, now all are housing asylum seekers, the street has gone massively downhill since they moved in and I expect it to get worse as loads are selling up and moving on. Litter everywhere, human shit in the street, it doesn't feel safe anymore and no chance will I let the missus pop to the shops on her own when its dark.
Deflection from the question again!Oh dear. The mask is slipping.
How is that anecdotal - he is describing his lived experience which requires no research on his part.More anecdotal racist claptrap from Marty.

To challenge it, you would have to live on his street for a couple of weeks.
Just abolish itWho OBRs the OBR?

Been meaning to ask who you would go for in Tory leadership contest..... Bobby Jenrick or Olukemi Olufunto Adegoke Badenoch ? Not allowed to sit on the fence as it’s going on the spreadsheet.

I'm guessing schmeeee is on the edge of his seat at the moment.
Thanks for the reminder of the literal meaning of an anecdote. I’d kind of got it in my head, wrongly, that skybluecharlie was meaning a third party anecdote.Just write out a huge post on my homeless mate who is a bit racist but also spends his life competing and losing out to recent immigrants for jobs and services. And generally agreeing with you.
Then I realised that I can be pedantic and this is the internet so I’m going to point out that a description of lived experience is literally what an anecdote is.
Make is a wild card but I think will do pretty wellI wonder what the odds are for the next change of Conservative leader?

Bet Starmer can't believe his luck. Wins a landslide based on little more than the government being terrible and now they've elected a leader who makes the last few leaders look sane and competent.Then you have Starmer on the other side.

Struggling to see how her rhetoric will help them recapture the centrist votes they need to get back into power.
I am not political at all, however my take would be that all she has to do is avoid scandal, avoid any embarrassing blunders, bang on about Brexit, bang on about immigration, look after old people- and she then sweeps to power in a few years. If she does that I don’t see any chance for Starmer, in my judgement he’s only there because even conservatives couldn’t handle any more sleaze, drama & embarrassing incidents.
Likewise, as close to an anarchist as you can get. Just think the intrinsic natures in Democracy are worth keeping, unfortunately the downside of this is having political parties.
If it wasn’t for democracy like minded people would never organise to achieve shared goals

CorrectedHow dense are the Labour government, their response to the country saying we're fed up of this shit is to give them more of the same shit. Genius.

To be honest Steve I've kind of given up on hoping that the government can do me or the country much good. Certainly neither of these parties in their current forms anyway.Not sure you can class £40bn of tax rises and extra £30bn of borrowing, more of the same.
I have no major issue with either but I just hope that it’s spent wisely and the country sees some tangible benefit
I don't remember the tories going after business, private schools, private jets, non doms etc
