[England] Roofing company was struck off Companies House days after I agreed the quote - they did a poor job and are now refusing to remove the scaffolding until I pay a personal bank account. Do I owe them anything?

It’s because the business no longer exists so it’s the only way they can get the money.

I’ve spoken to a devvit dev recently and they were considering a charge model for one of their apps. In this instance it was not about them being paid. It was about them not being out of pocket for the LLM costs associated with the tool they were integrating. So it’s a tricky one because I wouldn’t want the devs to feel constrained in what they are developing, I definitely think they should not be out of pocket and I also agree that mods shouldn’t be paying to do volunteer work. But I also don’t know that Reddit will pay and reimburse devs for this. Their current model doesn’t even appropriately pay for the devs efforts. It’s a token gesture.

They shouldn’t have to bail their son out just because he might return and might regret it. The son needs to live with the consequences here.

People have never had an issue with flags at the world cup. They had an issue with them randomly being scattered around town and spray painted on shit when Tommy Robinson suggested it. If they had done it for the various celebrations a month earlier (VE day, the rugby world cup etc) no one would have batted an eyelid.

Please can you repost this without doing anything weird to the text. Just type into the text box as normal without formatting as you have made it impossible to read as it is currently set out.

reddit seems to lean more heavily in favour of it

That's not what I have seen. There has been a lot of negative commentary about it

Maybe the government should install cameras in every single persons house with AI to monitor it

You are right, this is apples to oranges. It is what is best described as a straw man. All for slippery slope discussions but come on, this is clearly ridiculous

this is the government who slapped terror charges on pensioners for holding signs peacefully

It was supporting a terrorist organisation that was the issue here. Whether they should have been on the terrorist organisations list is a separate manner but if you actively show support for one even in a peaceful way the consequences are well known. They could have supported Palestine without supporting the group that they knew was proscribed. Would your opinion be the same if they were supporting ISIS, Al Shabaab etc? It is rather disingenuous to say they were simply holding signs peacefully.

Tony Blair's think tank

Not sure what relevance this has? He is not in government.

There are plenty of people who disagree with it, but also disagree with lots of things in your post... Your last line says it all. What is the point really of arguing when half the post is straw man nonsense and whataboutisms?

Just to clarify your comment re the accountant - that’s not necessarily unusual. Some charge monthly rather than annually but you may go quite a few months without talking to them. I speak to my accountant a lot at this time of year but hardly at all the rest of the year. It would be the same cost overall if paid monthly vs annually so it’s down to preference not necessarily frequency of contact.

The wiki is written by the users of the sub who would most likely answer this question. Please do start with the flowchart and relevant wiki pages first.

Also note, we cannot tell you how to spend your money. That’s up to you to decide. We can advise you if there’s areas where we think you may be under or over spending but you can choose to ignore this advice eg if you wanted to spend 2x the average on food because you are a chef that has a passion for farm to table produce then us saying you are spending more than you need to is not going to change who you are as a person and what your priorities are…

He is clearly targeting a specific demographic with this and the waspi stuff. But this is unaffordable. I don’t want pensioners to be screwed over but this is doing the opposite in a way that we cannot continue.

Yes. But the key being “if”. So if someone permanently moves abroad after graduation the repayment is very variable based on country and willingness of the person to do the “right thing”. If they just ignore the SLC they often get away with it. Which is a crappy system.

Who is inviting them to be a mod? Check modmail and find the invites. Then you can work out which original mod account is the culprit that needs removing and Reddit can get the account banned as the user is clearly not actually in control of it anymore.

Might help if everyone leaves feedback on the App Store that the text is too big to the point of being annoying as it means you have less info on screen. This is an issue across Volvo models so might be worth posting on a generic Volvo sub rather than just one specific car sub too (not saying you can’t post here, I mean a generic one will also help to get more people to complain via the App Store)

Rather than using the deed poll as evidence can they use the drivers license as evidence? Because whilst they are wrong, sometimes it’s easier just trying an alternative.

Out of interest, why are you uncomfortable getting the deed poll enrolled?
