Don't like the 'hard work' line. Implies everyone who can't afford a mortgage doesn't work 'hard enough', as if it's always relative. It's effectively just getting on a high horse to wheel that one out. That's not the same as saying hard work isn't important and shouldn't be rewarded though.
That's the legacy of Thatcher and right to buy and the creation of the working class Tory / I'm alright Jack though.
12 years ago i had the right to buy , my children have grown up and 1 is renting and the other is buying their house . So after 27 years in our home we had to move to a smaller property with the HA POS doing a jig and as happy as Larry that it meant we no longer had the right to buy . If that has changed in the interim then i did not know that , and apologise for my earlier post to the contrary .
Please see my post to @Harry Wilson's tackle #283 and apologies .
Absolutely spot on. Luckily, we’re 8 years down the line from Brexit and I’ve personally got to the stage where I shrug my shoulders at such ignorance and walk away. There’s no line of argument, no data, no facts, that will ever sway such a person.There was a sizeable number who didn't care if the country, or ever themselves, were better off, as long as Brexit gave us our sovereignty back.
The perceived gain in national freedom outweighed anything. Such was the hatred of the idea of foreigners having any say in anything to do with British Life. I found it impossible to argue with such sorts.
And the same applies to party politics. There are those who see socialism as fundamentally evil, and would rather be poor and hopeless than Red. And anything connected with Labour, even PPP, Tony Blair and cosying up to America, is all Red and Wrong. Even when Labour do something obviously right it is wrong because it is Labour that has done it.
I recall much the same attitude among certain sorts about black people born in the UK, back in the 60, 70s and 80s.
"If you want a n*gger for a neighbour, vote labour" (forgetting it was Enoch Powell who invite 'them all in')
And homosexuals. "It's Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve".
It is socio-economical political fuckwittery. Incurable, in the main.
No worries, mate. If you are within 3 years of the move you may have 'reset' and are not yet eligible again to the right to buy.
Do you want to live in a country where you are dependent on the gamble that the interest rates go right so you can live or prosper? I asked someone on the right this as well. It does imply that you have been priced out of life to a lesser or greater extent.
If your chum is talking about advanced treatments such as veneers and implants, he is right, I can`t see them provided on the NHS any time in the future, I see no reason why regular, preventative check ups, fillings and extractions, where necessary, should not be accessible for all.
They have inherited a total skip fire and tough decisions are having to be made. Five months in and people are expecting miracles which is frankly ridiculous, the right wing press are more batshit than ever.
No, he was talking about regular, daily stuff. The hourly cost of a 'chair' has increased significantly and NHS money will be hard pushed to cover that. The incentive for private work far outweighs the NHS work apparently, and so I maintain that I sadly would find this a difficult scenario to envisage.
Is this some sort of self deprecating piss take? I don't understand the mechanics of the gag
This is why I support IHT, it will allow the state to reclaim the tax-payers money your parents benefited from.
Not at that threshold level it won't.
And you have always voted tory?
No chance , i voted Labour all the way till blair the money grabbing troll and his wife , who would lose a beauty contest against a real troll . After the shit he caused i didn`t vote as i recall for a couple of elections ( maybe only one can`t remember ) , any who given the choice after that i voted too not have the same shit again . And given this left handed f**k pig wan*er hates my country so much he is trying to destroy it i wont hesitate to vote Tory next time unless you think that northern tart angie whatsherface can run the country that once run the WORLD ! .
