Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

"Dont you worry Cynic, Im so respected up here nobody dare say anything against me"


Lol. I'm not afraid to call you a twat, Fishfinger. Nor are most other folks on here that you haven't succeeded in boring off.

oh i'm definitely a chicken and a kosher one at that :-)

===============

rent levels
i think you are probably being very unfair - for a change of course!
i think, and you'll probably know, that "normal" rent benefit is capped at £7/800 - is that correct?

forget central london property prices, so take somewhere in the medway like chatham or somesuch, where you might manage to buy something reasonable (= livable) for say £150,000, but more like £175,000 by the time all the extras are included + some necessary remedial work and re-fitting
we'll also take it as read that you are no rachman but not a philanthropist either
what would be a fair rent on that, given that many or probably most benefit-tenants take little or no care of the place and are almost certainly high risk for the landlord?

i love a woman who talks dirty!

Cynic it depends on what part of the country you are in, hence those being kicked out of Brent CAN afford the rents in Birmingham.

Up here for a 2 bed room house and it depends just where you are in Kirklees the average cap is about £330 per MONTH.

Just look at the difference between your figures in london.

read what i wrote .... i purposely omitted central london as that is too freaky, but suggested somewhere where the cost of housing is half-way sensible, at least by SE standards .... yes i know i could buy a whole terrace in blaenau for £150k, but that's a long commute to anywhere :-)


incidentally, what good is living in b'ham if your job is anywhere in/around london?

Exactly, their was a programme on TV last week showing a bloke who lived and worked in Brent £150 take home pay per week working in a shop and had to go and live in Wolves, but he still commutes back to do his job each day.

His wifes wage just keeps them afloat.

Madness complete madness.

And IDS says he wants people to find work.

Social Cleansing at its worst and this is just the beginning.

GF

Hoi! Twat.

I said:

"Some people on here, such as Goldfinger, curse Ian Duncan Smith,................."

Fact: Yes, you do. What I said therefore, is totally and utterly correct.

PS. When you, for example call someone 'a slag', it's grammatacticly (I invented this word) correct to say "you're" and which is the short form of "you are".

"Your", which is what you say, is the possessive pronoun; as in "your bigoted posts".

Time for you to go back to Junior School, and learn a second language, such as "English", eh?

Why is it social cleansing if people cannot afford to live in expensive areas.

Perhaps I could complain of social cleansing because I cannot afford to live in Park Lane or Eaton Square. Maybe the government should subsidise me.

And me!

Just in from Nigel Farage:

"Can you really trust Dodgy Dave and his "Cast-Iron" guarantees of an in/out referendum? Take a look at our video below to find out."

I am in favour of better grammar, but probably preferable not to call Hilary names at all gf.

ExecLine fitered. Ignorant Idiots like him coming over from advfn who have been marginalised there, not required here.

Bye Bye half pint.

Miliband in denial!




Labour's poll rating falls to four year low

YouGov for the Sun put Conservative and Labour neck and neck on 34% each.

It is the lowest rating for Labour since July 2010 - before Ed Miliband took over as leader. Ukip were on 15% and the Liberal Democrats 8%.

Mr Miliband tried to shrug off insisted he is "more personally competent" to run the country than David Cameron.

Hays is Brent really relatively speaking ie, in relation to other parts of London , an expensive area!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ha ha he he ho ho...... Hays Hays Hays ........just out 4 minutes ago.............

Thats put a bee in your bonnet Hays LOL. he he.

Couldnt have timed it better. LOL.

Parts of it are, like any area. The principle is the same. If you can't afford to live somewhere, you have to move. It happens all the time. Someone has a business and it fails. The family have to sell up and move. Why should we subsidise people to live in areas that they cannot afford. I certainly don't want to. It has always been that way. People left Ireland, Scotland, Italy and moved even to other countries for a better life. If you live somewhere you cannot afford then move to somewhere that you can afford. If I had a Ferrari on HP and could not keep up the payments, should I complain and say the government should keep me in that lifestyle?

And another one LOL, he must be looking down on me him up there he he .

Look at the poll figures for UKIP; 9%. That's less than half than they need to get even one MP.
