With regards to buy to lets, dont forget that one of the last things George Osbourn did as chancellor was to change the rules regarding the allowability of mortgage interest as a charge against profits for properties held by individuals .Previously mortgage interest payments were fully allowable...

If you haver a specific lurcher in mind, why not take a photograph using your phone, download the image onto your computer and then use one of the free graphics apps to convert the image into a line drawing. If you play around with the filters you should get a good outline which you could use...

It would be interesting to see their terms and conditions of sale and whether taking money is deemed acceptance of an offer thereby creating a valid contract. Perhaps their small print allows them to accept money for stuff they dont have and make a refund several weeks later having used someone...

Try BBC Watchdog, I think they have a page on their web site for the public to report scams/complaints etc https://ssl.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006mg74/contact

Not sure about that, it would be interesting to get a legal view but imho the vendor of the stamps was merely acting as agent, the "service" for which the stamp was purchased is the delivery of mail and so ultimately the responsibility is Royal Mail's. I dont see how RoyalMail can legitimately...

The BBC complaining about fake news is a bit rich. Perhaps if the BBC was not so blinkered in what it chooses to broadcast and adopted a neutral stance to the reporting of news stories (instead of applying its standard biased, propagandist approach) then there would be no room for the so...

Before or after they convert it into a steam punk lamp?

RogerS, I admire your indefatigability however, intelligent and reasoned debate is impossible for many of the reasons you have highlighted. Overall I suggest that the best solution is not to feed the troll.

Roger, I'm glad I'm not the only one that sees it. I think I'll withdraw from this debate. It is a bit tedious when one side constantly conflates arguments, doesn't answer specific queries and selectively interprets comments and takes them out of context to support his own bigotry. To imply...

Now now, don't patronise. Did he say Britain First or Britain first? There is a difference but you clearly have a much better handle on the motives and it is the fault of all horrid people that voted Brexit or who read the DM (It is still a matter of surprise that despite the murder the majority...

The DM States "Thomas Mair may have murdered MP Jo Cox because he feared losing his home of 40 years to an immigrant family." Jacob says "Today the DM is blaming immigrants for the murder of Joe Cox MP" ...a bit of a logic gap there I suggest although one of your earlier posts sought to link...

Interesting, but I'd argue that it is the broadsheets and BBC/C4 that are fuelling public anger. During the referendum the media never missed an opportunity to label anyone with a contrary view as being a swivelled eyed loon. Post referendum, the BBC will not accept the result and has sunk to...

This is the rather tired straw man argument put up by Remainers to imply that the NHS will collapse because of Brexit. Who, exactly, has ever said "immigrant workers" would be expelled ? Who exactly, has ever said that immigrants would not be allowed to enter the country to accept employment...

I disagree with your assertions here and again, I think you are looking at things the wrong way down a telescope. It is open for any country to remove barriers to trade if they wish, it is their prerogative. If a country imposes tariffs and non tariff barriers they cannot then complain about...

Sole trader refers to the ownership of an unincorporated business. (if there were two or more owners it would be a partnership) Many sole traders employ people and they can set up a paye scheme for them.

Yes he did actually say it. Peter Lilley MP was in the audience and he has condemned the remarks as being akin to hate speech. The BBC wont touch it (obviously) but it was covered by LBC this morning. I appreciate your scepticism but it is now also being reported in the DT...

Can you imagine the outcry from the BBC if Nigel Farage or any brexiteer had made such disparaging comments? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article ... nough.html What's the betting that the Beeb will avoid giving this story any publicity at all.

Employ your missus and pay her.

There is no excuse for a skills shortage in the construction industry. The CITB still impose a levy on construction businesses (collecting £182m + each year) ostensibly to promote training in the industry. This anachronism is a hang over from WW2 when the country needed people to build houses...
