Surely one expects a certain standard of behaviour from those who rent a property in which to live. We shouldn't be hearing of the horror stories about the behaviour of tenants who act little better than animals when they rent a property. Where has society failed in that people behave in such a...

I mentioned in post #492 about an estate agent who oversaw the rental of my late wife's property which she'd inherited from her parents. He acted as the letting agent and had a reputation second to none locally when it came to finding suitable tenants. If they didn't have suitable references etc...

At one time investing in property by renting it out was seen as a sound investment for retirement. These days only people with the strongest of constitutions would take it on. My daughters held a portfolio of rental properties over the years and who were by the way considered excellent...

Before targeting the successful which is a left wing mantra, Starmer et al should be concentrating on plugging the estimated 11% of GDP hole that is the black economy! If that was plugged ( 11% of £3 trillion ) there would be no need to raise taxes by targeting those who are successful which...

Phil I could just do with some of that bread to dip in my lamb hotpot LOL I love cooking!

I have my caravan sited up in the North East and occasionally we have visited one particular Morrisons store not far from where our caravan is sited and it used the same method of pay and display and get your money returned so I suspect it was a management directive. I don't know whether it's...

I fully see your point. I had reason to visit Newcastle Eye Infirmary a couple of years ago while visiting my caravan in the North East. I have a Blue Badge and as long as I registered at the reception desk I was allowed to park without limit. It was very busy and they had a people controlling...

I know this may be somewhat off-topic but to be perfectly honest I think it's got to the stage where the motorist is merely a cash cow for both the government and private companies and it's about time the owners of the 41 million vehicles on UK roads got together and said enough is enough and...

I couldn't speak to a person regarding the PCN I received from the parking management company. There was a telephone number but it was either pay or make an appeal online or in writing...that were the only choices you are given hence my firm appeal to them. I did inform them when I appealed...

Recently (29/07/2024) I received a Parking Charge Notice (PCN) for the sum of £70.00 by a traffic management company for apparently overstaying by 3 hours at a car park which I believe was the Trafford Centre in the Greater Manchester area which is at least 100 miles away from me as I live in...

Your earlier 'angry emoji' tells me all I need to know about your character. You're a West apologist!

A popular right wing trope? How is fact somehow a right wing trope? My OH who is arguably left wing in her views works in the REAL WORLD not the imaginary world with a twisted left wing view of reality that you live in. You're talking absolute and utter nonsense! These people exist. Your...

My OH is a social worker working daily to protect at-risk children in very often extremely dysfunctional families and most of her clients are the recipients of benefits in some form or other so just because you personally don't know anyone who has chosen a benefits lifestyle, it doesn't mean...

That describes the Socialist Utopia perfectly!

If you and others support this chap's views then you are quite welcome to redistribute some of your wealth if you choose to, I certainly won't object but you shouldn't expect others to have the same views. I am a Capitalist in the sense that I believe in meritocracy and for those who are unable...

Nonsense. Common sense doesn't need right or left wing politics for it to work. The same as you don't need to follow a religion to be a decent person. You can be a perfectly good/decent person without subscribing to any religion. I'm a Capitalist but that doesn't mean I necessarily reject all...

If you try reading up on history and stop swallowing Western propaganda without question you might learn something!

Point to these mythical right wing posts or is it because I don't agree with the left wing nonsense that's posted that you are unhappy? I'm neither left nor right wing, I just don't subscribe to left wing tripe. That doesn't make me right wing unless one is prejudiced.

I don't think we're actually far apart on this one. Probably the biggest threat to world stability was when the Soviet Union broke up leaving only the USA as the true remaining superpower. Prior to that they kept each other in check (detente) but since then the USA has operated more or less...

The EU has been expanding Eastward for the past two decades or more and has continually poked and provoked the Russian Bear and this is the result. I don't agree with what the Russians have done by any stretch of the imagination nor do I fall for all the propaganda put out by the West. Given...
