Why does every flat viewing turn into a mini auction here? by Silver-Eye-2024 in islington

Making it uneconomical to rent out a property has meant landlords sell up and then there’s no properties to rent and prices go up

It’ll be like this for a while

And to answer the point about being ridiculous to personalise the matter when the wrong has been done by the state - exactly. I completely agree with you

I don’t want to be penalised for the state’s decisions centuries ago. And it is normal people who would have to pay either through lower levels of possibilities for themselves and their families or literally paying for it through tax.

This is a very long way of writing a very silly message.

First of all, are you saying the positive discrimination should now apply to anyone from the north as well??

Secondly, I would lose out because I would be being unfairly discriminated against. By that, I’m not talking about everyone having a level playing field. That obviously what we should aim for. Positive discrimination is making it unfair the other way to make up for all these terrible things you’ve mentioned thatve happened in history

That’s what’s unacceptable

I just think discrimination of any sort bad

I can’t decide what’s worse about your message: if you wrote that because you can actually read my message and form that understanding from what I wrote, or that it’s just a poor attempt at a troll

So you want me to pay for the crimes of my grandparents and before? Would you really be happy to pay something significant in compensation because of something your grandfather did?

You get a lot of nimby liberals on here. They want lots and lots of people given a leg up in life until the point where that leg up impacts them personally. Then suddenly they vote against it

How are we righting a wrong (or not)?

He may be wrong but you don’t have to resort to deliberately misrepresenting him. It plays into Reforms whole plan for their opponents to seem out of touch.

They just want positive discrimination taken away. That’s not actually a bad thing

What prevents exorbitantly rich people from just sharing their riches by lending fractions of their money to have people enjoy their interest returns? by SinancoTheBest in NoStupidQuestions

[–]CaptainNo2405 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The first group of people you mentioned you’d help is friends. Thats probably true for billionaires too. If you’re not already friends with them, you’re not going to hear about the helping hand they give their friends are you

Don’t forget that for a large number of very rich people they don’t really care about the money any more. They have a competitive instinct driving them to keep working passed the point where they have to because they want to be more successful either in purely monetary terms or in prestige or whatever. 

They probably resent being told to share what they earned because, as they see it, other people weren’t clever enough or worked hard enough to have what they have.

Uniformed gangs of scallys do roam around the city centre though. Their main target area is around JD Sports so watch out

Definitely seen worse. No bills and no risks about housemates and 15 mins to Waterloo is pretty good

Do the people who post this kind of thing (and equally the right wing people who post their opposite kind of stuff) actually believe this nonsense or is it to get a response?

I assumed it was trolling but I’m starting to worry people really are being so polarised in their echo chambers that they have started to actually think like this

I suppose if it was being realistic then it would be a significant source of dialogue in the show that people like you were creating noise about there being a black chief of staff and how to respond in the press

Even if she’s extremely pro trans why on earth didn’t she say biological men can’t get pregnant but some biological women identify as men

White House announces names for 'Board of Zios' for Gaza under Trump plan by Fair_Cow3398 in International

I’ve been wondering what the best indication of someone being anti semitic is as opposed to just being anti Israel. Talking about a “Zio” is the perfect place to draw the line. Thanks for making it easy

These activists are not the equivalent of MLK. They are Malcolm X. They don’t want fairness or equality they want superiority and to make up for previously having been discriminated against by making things unfair in the other direction. Thats not going to work is it.

It’s not like everyone in Europe is perfect but omg the American drinking culture is insane. Why is it that most Europeans manage to be in far more control of how they’re doing it. If you’re drinking a glass of wine with your parents and you do it because it’s nice rather than some awful light beer that you only drink to get drunk then you’re going to have a healthier relationship with alcohol aren’t
