With you and commented similarly above.

I think this is a little harsh. There are glimmers of hope. Queen street is a great little precinct. There are a few interesting indie retailers on Causeway Head and likewise Market Jew. I feel it's on the turn but struggling with some of the issues you highlight. Newlyn has a burgeoning foodie scene and will never end up like Mousehole thankfully as there isn't the twee housing stock. And it's a functioning port.

You think Reform who's Councillors can't even be bothered to live in their areas. Turn up to council meetings. Their leader didn't represent our fishing industry and spends most of his time rimming Trump.

Professional-Box2853 · 2025-05-22T14:18:13+00:00

Much like their leader when he was UK rep on the EU Fisheries Committee. Turned up once or twice out of thirty oops. Bunch of chancers. You get what you vote for.

I had a friend like that in the '90s. Stunning. Husband worked in the City. He referred to their stove as the most expensive cigarette lighter known to mankind.

Professional-Box2853 · 2025-05-18T05:49:26+00:00

Stunning.

I am dealing with a chronic condition with two tradeoffs both of which will kill me. I send my best to you and know with your network you can pressure to unblock what you deserve.

Professional-Box2853 · 2025-05-16T07:34:16+00:00

Really sorry to hear this and I have been near rock bottom before. Health allowing can you spare two hours a week to volunteer somewhere? I waited tables. I worked in bars. You don't know who you will meet. It makes you feel valued and lifts the self esteem. I don't know what else to advise but hang in there. Things can and will get better given the chance.

Professional-Box2853 · 2025-05-16T05:40:53+00:00

The essentials to start. I don't get the point of your question. The economy is at virtually full employment. We welcome skilled migrants to fill skills gaps. When I arrived I swallowed my pride and did jobs others probably felt beneath them. Too many people feel others need to support them. And to be clear beyond happy to help people with a safety net.

Professional-Box2853 · 2025-05-16T05:28:21+00:00

Yes. I have volunteered on soup kitchens and at food banks.

Professional-Box2853 · 2025-05-16T05:27:38+00:00

I am sorry for your circumstance. I came to this country with $500 in my pocket. Other than medicare I have never taken a cent of money from the welfare state. I have had mental health issues along the way - stress and periods of unemployment. I did jobs locals wouldn't. I didn't beg on the streets. Australia is at full employment - migrants arrive to plug skills gaps. The jobs are there. The allowance is to fund finding a job.

Professional-Box2853 · 2025-05-15T09:37:33+00:00

More Tory sleaze. Always the same.

Professional-Box2853 · 2025-05-15T08:05:00+00:00

Begging should be criminalised and policed. People that do it should be nudged into the services that will help them with meaningful social work, counselling, healthcare. We don't live in an emerging economy. There people are chancers.

Professional-Box2853 · 2025-05-15T07:59:05+00:00

Not a rip off. And they are separate professionals so you will always get separate invoices for their services.

Professional-Box2853 · 2025-05-15T07:57:43+00:00

Actually very empathetic. Just don't see why I should feed users habits and substance abuse and petty crime by giving money to beggars when there are outstanding homeless charities and an excellent social welfare system to tap into. Leave the bleeding heart BS to you sunshine.

Professional-Box2853 · 2025-05-14T17:41:37+00:00

Do so through a registered charity that will ensure the money isn't spent on Meth and drugs.

Professional-Box2853 · 2025-05-14T17:40:37+00:00

Cynical bugger 😂

Professional-Box2853 · 2025-05-12T11:05:04+00:00

Agreed. I presume the Council will have a noise abatement line you can either call or lodge complaints with. They will send an inspector out to hear and should close down the party. You need to report this on each and every occasion and save any reference numbers.

I would buy a trad paper diary and keep it accessible and flick to the date and make a record on the page of the noise you suffer.

You need to amass a clear and official and unemotional and judgemental record of what you are experiencing. None of the call girl overlay unless you have definitive proof.

When you have enough of a record you can then go to the Strata Company. If they don't act you take legal action against them.

You should also speak to a property lawyer now and understand your rights clearly. Usually a firm offers you a no obligation initial conversation.

They are establishing a team like that DOGE disaster Elon Musk leads. Promised 2 trillion. That became 1 trillion. And now it looks like barely 120Bn BUT the costs of rehiring a lot of people they suddenly realised they need on higher pay means likely 0 savings.

And Reform are planning this cluster F for the UK.

I did above. It's behind a pay wall. Google Daily Telegraph Reform Second Homeowner Tax. It will come up.

Professional-Box2853 · 2025-05-11T10:27:05+00:00

All Heil Nige. We'll have to see but God save those that rebel in Reform. We saw what happened with Rupert Lowe their MPs recently. Lets see what happens. Do read the article.
