If the state is paying the rent, or 80% or more of it, no questions asked, then the market's being rigged and middle class BTL landlords are getting rich on our tax money.<br /><br />Where the Tories have fallen down is in failing to reintroduce rent controls.<br /><br />They want it both ways, an unregulated rental sector with no subsidies.<br /><br />The landlords won't reduce the rents in Central London and the other big cities because they think there's plenty of young professionals who can afford to pay sky-high rents.<br /><br />It won't last much longer.<br /><br />FWIW, I'd hang a few BTL landlords together with a few bankers and one or two auditors to encourage the others.HankScorpiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13220200282805558779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141707904735688626.post-70708809640883823862010-10-26T00:20:11.582+01:002010-10-26T00:20:11.582+01:00According to tonight's Panorama private sector...According to tonight's Panorama private sector landlords renting out sub standard accomodation are raking in about £3.5billion per annum in Housing Benefit.And as more people become dependant on the private sector the situation is likely to get worse.Additionally cuts in local authority spending mean that the already ineffectual policing of Britain's private sector landlords will deteriorate even further.<br /><br />The programme exposed the growing numbers of low income families in this country who are renting accomodation from slum landlords which lack heat,hot water, are damp, have broken windows and window frames,are infested with vermin and which have wiring which is potentially lethal.And basically fuck all's been done about it.This country really is sliding further and further into the mire.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11865148437450521947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141707904735688626.post-40119089801400780392010-10-25T23:55:41.665+01:002010-10-25T23:55:41.665+01:00Ha, scherfig, I've got a proper stalker on tha...Ha, scherfig, I've got a proper stalker on that thread - "HankSkorpio" - who might that be?<br /><br />Fame at last.<br /><br />WinstonRed's not long for this world, I'd guess.HankScorpiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13220200282805558779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141707904735688626.post-34108369941696549952010-10-25T23:22:51.963+01:002010-10-25T23:22:51.963+01:00Yeah, hank, I've just read it too.

Bit embarassing really - some of us even sounded like we gave a fuck about Cif, although that also seems to be the time when I got my profile deleted, so possibly not so much, or I'm just a cowardly quitter. Some interesting old names on there too, and also a couple of punters (MF and yourself) wanting speedkermit to post on UT, which he eventually did unprovoked more than a year later. What are the odds of that? <br />And kiz was absolutely furious! So much so that even though things have only changed for the worse since then, she recently posted 80+ times in a single day. I think she was really, really cross and her boss was out of the office that day.<br />And FatTony was there as well, before he was turned into imogenblack.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YwxsWIYJI2A" rel="nofollow">plus ca change</a>xxxxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12466706566688272356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141707904735688626.post-51359516175119966432010-10-25T23:16:40.463+01:002010-10-25T23:16:40.463+01:00Hank

I'd suggest an in-depth discussion of fucking soda farls with a feminist twist.<br /><br />The other highlight for me was yet another namecheck and link for this cesspit - and by no lesser person than that <i>doyen</i> of fascism, 18th century patriotism, gibberish and mindless trivia, Englishhippyhalfwit. His posts on here were priceless.<br /><br />It did strike me seriously, though, regarding the moderation issue that the concept here of zero-moderation (as opposed to the Cif version of moderation) has one very important advantage. People who have posted here, and been allowed to say exactly what they think, expose themselves brutally in a way they simply cannot on Cif under current guidelines - I'm thinking particularly of eg. bitey, brussels, stevehill, martynineurope and now the hoimit (he's actually from Brooklyn). By their embracing the opportunity for no-holds-barred freedom of speech, and the way they use it, we can actually recognize them for the fuckwits that they are. Since they cannot (dare not) say these things on Cif, they manage to conceal their true nature from others and are consequently more acceptable to the other 'liberal' closet-everythingphobes and everybody can keep on pretending and air-kissing forever. So obviously that wouldn't work on Cif, but then, who really cares?<br /><br />I know feelings can often get hurt on here, and scraps can be tedious, but that's probably a price worth paying for a glimpse of the 'truth' behind what people really stand for, and an adult discussion with obscenity deemed acceptable by most (although not obligatory, I hasten to add). Cif is mostly just a dilettante circus, and an obvious need by many regulars to impress strangers and appear tolerant and enlightened to the cliques. <br /><br />As for Duke's tremendous 1984 parody, I wonder if MIE had already read it when he posted this:<br /><br /><i>the problem might be you.<br /><br />Agreed. When I have been moderated the problem has been me, and that even includes quoting other people who have broken one or more of the 10 simple rules of use.</i><br /><br /><br />Fucking Winston Smith in a nutshell! Thanks for the laughs, Dook, but if you're considering another one, please, - <i>Do it to Julia! Do it to Julia, not me! Julia! I don't care what you do to her! It's Julia! Julia! Not me! Not me!</i>xxxxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12466706566688272356noreply@blogger.com
