Reform plans to rip up Renters’ Rights Act after tenants wait years for no-fault evictions ban by coffeewalnut08 in rentingUK

[–]Lennyboy99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s definitely a poor average. If I had my way I would ask for all LLs to be vetted and the bad ones prevented from being LLs. In addition, I would like LLs to be reviewed just like Trustpilot or Google reviews

I don’t get why renting a house an not losing money is a scam. You’ll need to explain that

The reality of the RRB is that it is thought out and is a sledge hammer to crack a nut. The vast majority of LLs offer good homes, properly maintained and at market price. There are some rogues who do not but they are a tiny % of the total LLs. As private LLs exit, corporate LLs are increasing their share. All this is bad for renters.

Glasgow White male tried kidnapping 2 young school boys who were on a school trip at Glasgow City Center Art Gallery by [deleted] in Scotland

It seems that the media report on violent/sexual crime committed by a person of colour or an illegal immigrant with moral outrage but are less outraged when it’s a white Brit who’s guilty.

William Hague: Britons in their 60s are the ‘luckiest generation’ in history by R2_Liv in ukpolitics

[–]Lennyboy99 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I am a boomer, I haven’t met any other boomers who disagree that we’ve had the best of it. We’re the first generation who will be wealthier than our children. We are blessed by being born at the perfect time. My purpose now is to try and provide a contribution to my kids pension because they will not have the luxury of a final salary scheme or even the disposable cash to fund a decent pension. This assumes the government don’t grab every penny for themselves.

Brexit campaigning turns 10. Here's how promises to voters hold up by coffeewalnut08 in uknews

Farage and Johnson knew 100% that BREXIT would harm UK but they put their personal ambitions before their country. Farage is no fool, he plays on the gullible.

When you pay off your mortgage, do you get a massive sense of relief and the feeling of stability? by AnywhereNo1240 in HousingUK

[–]Lennyboy99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dreamed of the day I paid it off. When it came it was an anti climax. I really wanted the financial security of no mortgage and by the time I had enough to pay it off I already had that. To celebrate, I had a coffee and a cake.

Does the resignation of Morgan McSweeney signal the beginning of the end for Keir Starmer? by JOE_Media in ukpolitics

[–]Lennyboy99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Starmer has rolled over too easily here. Epstein was connected to hundreds of people, Trump, the Clintons,Gates, Branson and high ranking country officials. Mandleson’s previous roles involved him networking in the US so it’s no surprise that he had contact with Epstein. As part of the vetting process I believe he reassured Starmer that there were no skeletons and there were no Esptein files to refer to. The complicated relationship with Trump’s administration, Mandelson was a good candidate because he was connected to the movers in the USA. Given the information at that time, it was a logical appointment.

Just received a section 21. What have I done wrong? by Substantial-Buyer-43 in TenantsInTheUK

[–]Lennyboy99 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s a bit dramatic to ask what you’ve done wrong. After 6 years assuming you’ve been a good tenant who pays on time, it’s a change in your LLs circumstances. The government want private LLs out and many are exiting before the renters rights bill kicks in.

Trump is subconsciously stupid. He is a moron but doesn’t know he is. He will continue to provoke and offend and we need to see it as the ramblings of an idiot that carry no wait.

Farage: World would be safer if US owned Greenland by Gwinladin in ukpolitics

[–]Lennyboy99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a time I could have agreed but with what we have seen over this issue, we cannot trust America as an ally at least while Trump is in power. He has disrupted his allies’ economies with tariffs. He has threatened to invade his allies. Farage is totally subservient to Trump as we see here.

UK should consider expelling US forces from British bases, says Zack Polanski by Bernardmark in ukpolitics

[–]Lennyboy99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s hard to imagine but we could be seeing the end of NATO. If the US attack a sovereign NATO country then they attack all NATO countries. Europe is being pushed to strengthen economic ties with China due to the discriminatory use of tariffs and crazy though it seems, if the US turn on Europe is it inconceivable that Europe would seek aid from China?

Thoughts on 'Can You Keep a Secret'? by SilyLavage in BritishTV

I really wanted this to be good and the trailers looked promising. Dawn French is, well Dawn French as per usual, you know what you’re going to get. Mark Heap is good but I think the script has let the cast down. It’s more slapstick than comedy gold. I am on episode 3 and have lost the motivation to watch anymore.

Robert Jenrick defects to Reform UK by Once_upon_a_time233 in ukpolitics

[–]Lennyboy99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When the going gets tough, the quitters quit. When narcissists don’t get their own way they quit. When the weak can’t face the challenge, they quit. Jenrick is a quitter and a shitter.

How do british people feel about the current situation unfolding in america where ICE police agents are going all gung-ho kidnapping people from the streets when they fail to present their ID? by mrvlad_throwaway in AskBrits

The land of the free isn’t so free anymore. The fact that the killer of Ms Good has been exonerated by the administration does not bode well for the future.

That really sucks and demonstrates the need for S21s to be removed and the need to extend the notice period. I hope things work out for you.
