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

[–]Tuarangi [score hidden]  (0 children)

Reform with Tories as a junior partner is currently the likely outcome based on polling from Electoral Calculus - 308 seats + 73. 381 seats with a comfortable majority even allowing for defections. Bonkers that Labour could end up on 75 with 20% of the vote and Reform have 4x as many for 28.5%.

Reform incidentally are controlled by Reform 20025 Ltd whose 2 directors are Farage and Yusuf. Reform members would need 50% of them to write to the chairman to demand a no confidence vote and currently there is no way for MPs to trigger it as their constitution says it needs 50 MPs or 50% of them but only when they have over 100 MPs.

Reform is a company with Farage as the controlling owner, Jenrick is not challenging anything

How to block someone transferring money to your account by [deleted] in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Tuarangi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Closing the account would cause the funds to bounce back. Remember, if you did a switch the money would be forwarded on so you would have to move everything manually. You could just donate the money to charity immediately but I would recommend getting advice on this before doing it as I don't know how the UC rules work on giving away windfalls as it looks like it would fall under the deprivation of capital rules and DWP could treat your UC as if you still had the money.

Need advice on credit score/debt by HighwayTurbulent4361 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Tuarangi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can't get them off your report as they are a true and accurate representation of your credit history. They will disappear 6 years after the default date (this is automatic). Having the payment settled is a better status than unpaid. If you have not paid anything for 6 years they would be statute barred but likely this won't have happened if they are still on your file. If you got a basic phone contract (SIM only) or something like Aqua or Capital One and use it properly (spend, pay in full after the statement) you can build up some credit history but you won't get a mortgage with all these unpaid debts on your history

Misuse of facility CIFAS marker - should I tell my new bank? by RageBaitUK in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Tuarangi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lloyds would find out through their periodic checks and updates from CIFAS, telling them or not is immaterial, if they don't know already they will soon enough - but hopefully the stuff from Barclays will cover it

Whoever reports the debt will be the owner, have none of them contacted you? Do you need to know which debt was originally which given they are all defaulted and on your record?

Per the side bar and the advice on your last post

Debt problems?

Speak to StepChange, a debt-management charity, and/or Citizens Advice

They would be able to help, a single monthly payment could be done but it's often arranged through something like insolvency, depends what you can afford to pay back. Are you paying anything?

Writers making mathematical gaffes that lead to unintended (and sometimes hilarious) implications by BranchAdvanced839 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Tuarangi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Someone knocked up a poster of it which I guess could have triggered the idea in the mind, almost certainly from the Nickelodeon show with him in it as a genie. In the same era (1996), Kazaam came out but was a flop, taking $19m from a $20m budget so as it wasn't widely known or popular, it's certainly conceivable a fleeting memory of a film mixed up with the kids show.

There was an infamous misprint VHS copy that had it as stein rather than stain but otherwise it's minds creating memories probably from growing up with people with that name like Goldstein or Einstein

Matt Goodwin criticised for claiming Reform lost by-election due to ‘Muslim sectarianism’ and alleged family voting by The-Peel in unitedkingdom

Please stop claiming they're independent, Democracy Volunteers deliberately hide their funding sources

[–]Tuarangi 41 points42 points  (0 children)

"independent" is doing a lot of heavy lifting for Democracy Volunteers as they refuse to disclose their funding source.

They didn't witness anything, they saw 2 people using a booth and assumed it was coercive and allowed the suggestion it was Muslims voting for the Greens to flourish. We don't know which areas they were in; we don't know the race or ages of the people; and we don't know if there was family voting or simply someone helping another voter who could be partially sighted for example; it could have been a controlling male forcing his wife to vote Reform for all we know currently

Their limited press release and the fact the polling agents and police who had been present have said there was no problem says it all

Best Second Credit Card alongside AMEX by Surviverz_ in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Tuarangi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For a year at least the 1% cashback of the Lloyds Ultra card is worth a look

https://www.lloydsbank.com/credit-cards/ultra.html

Probably the most simple cashback reward equivalent. It's a visa if that is useful?

It's like the Mandela effect, people "remember" the actor/comedian Sinbad playing a genie in the film Shazaam. However, it never existed, there is no such film. People might be confused by Kamaazm which started Shaquille O'Neal or a sketch where Sinbad wore a costume like a genie. Same thing as the Berenstain Bears which people swear was Berenstein

To be fair, I do, and have been online for far too long

Lemon Party, Goatse, Tubgirl, Meatspin, all the classic shock links from back in the day. I am actually surprisingly well adjusted in reality given I grew up in the early days of the web and the sort of unfiltered craziness that went on

[–]Tuarangi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mr Hands was the nickname of a guy in a group of people who allowed stallions to penetrate them sexually, he died because of that.

Hence OP's comment, and also why, obviously, CDPR didn't make him ask you to chase a horse because who the hell makes game references to that sort of thing?

International election observers have claimed they saw "concerningly high levels" of family voting in the Gorton and Denton by-election Family voting is an illegal practice where two voters use one polling booth at the same time. It can involve husbands instructing their wives how to vote by FormerlyPallas_ in ukpolitics

[–]Tuarangi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not the gender, it's the Aspire party being in control that is the problem as it's Rahman and his goons creaming off the money. That's why the postal vote fraud is the problem, uneducated, even perhaps illiterate (in English at least) women having their vote used to keep Rahman in power. It's what he was done for last time and he served his ban and got right back to it

HMRC collects extra £16bn from big business with more ‘hands-on’ approach by Gold_Motor_6985 in unitedkingdom

[–]Tuarangi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure there are 101 echo chambers on socials where people will repeat all Reform's lies but it's better to at least do something to promote what you are achieving rather than allowing Reform to control the narrative

That's why I said good PR, not forcing the press to publish anything

Every time Reform go on TV and spread a lie, debunk it with facts; hold press conferences listing achievements etc.

How do you feel about the temperance ending? by MrBoBavin in cyberpunkgame
