Should have scrolled down, I guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LakotaDakota Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 (edited) Strange that, the police have been constantly updating and the papers (even the shit ones) have been using this info to keep their stories upto date.... People would much rather listen to Lily Allen crying though because obviously she knows far more than the people putting their lives at risk to save people & retrieve bodies Edited June 16, 2017 by LakotaDakota 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No leadership on the ground or through the whole system is evident here, still no one has the bollox to stand up and say this is what's going to happen , we have a plan. This'll be where the politics bit comes in... 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LakotaDakota Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 (edited) The same people shouting for justice less than 48 hours after a major fire will be setting fire to police cars before the weekend is over...

You've worked for 24 hours in a burning building and now you're being held up by a bunch of angry people blaming the council for not releasing figures when the police has done exactly that. Well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a good shout... Quote Basingstoke is an affordable alternative to Reading – the first stop on the Crossrail line into London, running west to east. With more banks and pharmaceutical companies setting up secondary offices in Reading, Basingstoke is becoming a commuter hub. According to Edward Cunningham, of Knight Frank, the countryside around Basingstoke is also attracting young families. “Properties are sought after due to several excellent schools: Cheam at Headley, Lord Wandsworth College at Long Sutton and Daneshill at Stratfield Turgis.” Basingstoke now has a Waitrose and a John Lewis. Carter Jonas is selling a four-bedroom thatched cottage in the nearby village of Oakley for £685,000. Average house price: £292,678, house price growth 2005-15: 31pc I'll knock up a little PowerPoint tonight and head down to those community centres in the morning to give them some ideas.

Didcot, Whitchurch, Haslemere, Petersfield. My point being that there's other areas to live where it doesn't cost a fortune to rent a flat in the UK.

Popular Post chrisp65 Posted June 16, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted June 16, 2017 Listening to the protests in the council office live on the radio this afternoon, I couldn't help feeling that the staff still there at 4:30 on a Friday were probably not the correct target. On the taking of empty houses. It would be a disaster for the housing industry. Foreign 'investment' would shrink away, prices would tumble and realism would enter the market allowing all sorts of riff raff to afford their own home. Then we wouldn't be able to sell shitty little boxes with a fitted kitchen for 'just £333,000'. Then where would we be? 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's been extensive research in environmental psychology that shows the extent to which warm weather plays in rioting and violent crime in general. I remember when studying it that there was a sweet spot between something like 27-30 degrees, above that the theory is it's too hot to make the effort.

That isn't social cleansing, it's called market force. Do you have aspirations for buying something? A car, a house, anything?

Its about keeping it realistic so hard working people with normal jobs born and bred in the area can actually afford to live there. Instead of keeping it reserved for the elite, foreign ambassadors or the tax avoiders. You really are talking an amazing amount of bollocks in this thread.

You wouldn't make a very good living trying to encourage people in social housing to move out into anywhere you've suggested so far. What's the monthly rent on ivory towers in your part of the world? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
