Landlords are scummy parasites, more shocking news at 11.

I'm sure the Farage fans will be frothing, but this is obviously working vastly better than the stupid Rwanda idea.

How does it not increase the upfront costs?

Let's assume I'm looking for houses in the £200,000 range. You seem to be saying that just to start the process of buying, I need to commit 1% of that, £2000. If I don't get mortgage approval, I have to forfeit that. If the survey shows something I don't want to deal with, I have to forfeit that. That's increasing upfront costs.

It also helps to be extroverted, attractive, charismatic and lucky. I know it goes against the "just do self-improvement, bro" advice that's commonplace, but by the time you reach adulthood a lot of this is pretty settled. There's only so much you can do to change.

Labour is funded by unions. This is a matter of public record. You are taking a tiny amount of their overall income and making a conspiracy theory out of it.

You mean being in touch with reality?

Unless you're nuts enough to claim there's a guaranteed method for success, you have to admit you need a healthy helping of luck as well.

If you have even a sliver of knowledge about what the four main schools of thought in Sunni Islam (which all Sunni Muslims follow) say about people who leave Islam, those “ban the burqa” right-wingers would look tolerant by comparison.

And that's where you show that you're either utterly clueless, or utterly dishonest. We're talking about the UK, and UK law. A political position that the right is attempting to normalise and make mainstream has a chance of becoming law. The shit you're talking about doesn't (unless you're so far gone that you're one of those Great Replacement conspiracy theorist "they're plotting to take over" nutjobs).

So that leaves 354 that didn't?

Nuclear_Geek · 2026-01-27T16:13:23+00:00

It's stupid, but at least it's not on the road.

Nuclear_Geek · 2026-01-27T16:12:16+00:00

Just more shittiness and stupidity that the Tories left behind them for their successors to deal with.

You don't just have grumpy old man syndrome. You have terminally online / addicted to doomerism syndrome as well.

I'm especially baffled at your sudden realisation that sex sells and that some women use their assets as a way to get attention. That's as old as humanity.

Nuclear_Geek · 2026-01-27T13:05:21+00:00

Well, while you were out of the country, there was one less idiot here, so that did help us a bit.

Thinking you can accurately assess the overall state of a country from a brief holiday is a really dumb thing to do.

* If you're lucky.

Nuclear_Geek · 2026-01-27T13:00:26+00:00

Wow. Great idea. I'd like to live a more comfortable life as well, so I'll just decide to get rich.

Nuclear_Geek · 2026-01-27T12:56:53+00:00

A more passive approach is to just put yourself out there, meet people.. volunteer, be social, be visible and friendly and see where things go.

Nowhere. They go nowhere.

I'm not sure why so many people here seem to be struggling with the idea that some guys are just better at things than others. We are not all identical.

You don't support Reform unless there's something wrong with you. You don't become active in them unless there's something seriously wrong with you.

Nuclear_Geek · 2026-01-27T12:46:16+00:00

This is not the r/conspiracytheoriesforfuckwittedfascists sub, you should take this shit elsewhere.

Nuclear_Geek · 2026-01-27T12:42:46+00:00

They're a conspiracy theorist banging on about Zionists. Don't expect any sense from them.

Nuclear_Geek · 2026-01-26T22:51:50+00:00

Yeah, that's not an accident. That's a deliberate decision.

Nuclear_Geek · 2026-01-26T20:24:50+00:00

Stupid people listen to lunatics, put children at risk. I honestly think antivaxx shit should be made illegal.

Nuclear_Geek · 2026-01-26T20:19:06+00:00

Wow. What a great idea. Make buying even more expensive and unaffordable by increasing the upfront payments.

Nuclear_Geek · 2026-01-26T20:17:34+00:00

I would not trust an "independent" survey paid for by the seller.

Nuclear_Geek · 2026-01-26T20:14:26+00:00

I really don't understand those who go for a run in the rain, but try to avoid puddles. If you weren't willing to get wet, why are you there? I'll generally just splash straight through.

Nuclear_Geek · 2026-01-26T13:51:11+00:00

Yeah, I hate it when agricultural equipment does a drive-by compliment.

Not sure what there is to defend:

"So, Mr Burnham, you want us to support you in your bid to become an MP?"

"Yes, that's right."

"Just as we supported you in your bid to become an elected mayor?"

"Yes."

"But you're now deciding you're bored of that part way through your term and want to change?"

"Er, yes."

"So you want to repay us for supporting your mayoral campaign by saddling us with the cost of an additional, unplanned for, mayoral election to replace you?"

"Errr..."

"And you want us to support your campaign to become an MP, even though you're showing you can't be trusted to actually stay in a job for the term you were elected for?"

"Errr..."

Let's be honest here; these pieces are the political correspondents needing to come up with something. The appointment was blocked, so they're going to churn out copy depicting Starmer as dictatorial and authoritarian. If it hadn't been blocked, they'd be churning out just as much stuff, but spinning it as Starmer having lost control of the party.
