    American politics

    Wait ...... I'm now convinced that instead of the spinal tap sequel, they just made an interactive theatre version, with Trump as the main character.

    I'd watch "toy story x - the nazi years"

    Honestly, this is the most fascinating question for me. Is he that self aware? Or completely oblivious? I'd love to know

    Surely just put the tarrifs on whomever is making the bird flu?

    This is an interesting point. My initial reaction (albeit without having read the full guidance, and gaining an understanding of its purpose) is that this is unjust. There is an echo within that that it may be an attempted politicisation of sentencing guidelines. Ethnic background may be a...

    You've now just become a parody of yourself. This just isn't true. Something you could establish and properly understand with 5 minutes of reading about the situation.

    That's not new. Accountability, scrutiny, challenge and critical thought are not new ideas. What I do think is new is the following polarisation: - On social media where connections are managed, people operate in an echo chamber - On media like this (is this social media? I guess so), the...

    I'll happily give a straight answer to that question. I always give straight answers - that's usually the point at which the likes of you two withdraw. The answer is - that isn't fair. It's also a blanket statement - point me in the direction of the policies and instances that underpin it and...

    Buying a property - what would you do?

    Sweet, both sound pretty hassle free. That also suggests they are generally well managed - which is always a good sign. Cheers. I brought it from my landlord, so it was the easiest move ever! Now I get to make it really mine

    Buying a property - what would you do?

    Lease length - how long is "very long"? Service charge - you'll have a service charge in both scenarios. You'll just have the freedom to instruct managing agents (as part of the board of Freeholders) / make decisions re; the management of the building. You'll have ground rent on Opt1 -...

    Buying a property - what would you do?

    Op 1: Check out the windows - are they new? Or old sash windows? The latter will be drafty. And probably need replacing. It's ground floor - how do you feel about noise from above? Leasehold Op 2: The colour scheme suggests ex rental. So have a really good look for any tenant bodge job bits...

    Buying a property - what would you do?

    Thanks It won't be an issue. I have a budget plan in place. I understand the current legislation. (Formal and informal process) I fully understand the movements of the legislations moving through Parliament. (Let's put it this way - I corrected my Conveyancer on points of law during my...

    Buying a property - what would you do?

    They are. As it stands, Commonhold is going to become the default tenure on new builds. It's unclear what will happen re; existing leaseholders at present. A mechanism will need to be devised to convert leaseholds into commonholds. At present the Freeholders are challenging this in court (on...

    Buying a property - what would you do?

    I said it's poor advice because you made a blanket statement. It's fine to buy with a lease under 125 years as long you know what that means. Of course not - letting the lease go sub 90 years is something to avoid (unless you're made of money, of course - even then you'd just extend before...

    Buying a property - what would you do?

    That's poor advice. It's just important to understand that you'll need to extend the lease before it goes below 90 years and factor in that cost/understand that you'll be at the mercy of legislation that "should" come in in the next four years. And understand the relationship between that and...

    Exactly. And that is the basis of a fair and just society. Outside of that is racism and fascism. And it's important we keep shining a light on that. When people get scared or feel hard done by, they look for a reason. It's far more palatable if that reason doesn't look like, or act like, or...

    Because the Muslim community is more close knit, so it's harder to achieve. Because the Muslim community has a different attitude towards sex and socialising at a young age. Because it's far easier to hide what you are doing in a larger demographic than it is in a smaller demographic. Because...
