The independent states the staggeringly obvious: Almost no one who lives in a privately rented house actually wants to be there quote:The vast majority of tenants living in homes privately rented from landlords would not be there if they had a choice, new research has established.

I mean if it were me I'd wear a take the train (cash) to Bala or Aberdeen or somewhere like that, pay a taxi driver (cash) to take me to the foot of some mountain in Snowdonia / the Cairngorms and just wander off into the wilds and go camping for a week.

They're all crawling out of the woodwork today: If you consider yourself a liberal then there is only one party in Britain left for you quote:As Nick Clegg's speechwriter I watched in horror as the Liberal Democrats were reduced to rubble at the last election, but with your help the party can rebuild

Don't join a re-energised Labour Party if you want to make a difference, our MPs are at least united in purpose: going to The Strangers bar, buying drink after drink and staring into the middle distance, desperately waiting for the sweet release of death. Radical centre. Outrageous conformity. Totally out-there normcore. Exciting irrelevance. 8 is enough. In the age of austerity, what we need is a small but vibrant party that says: "errm well I dunno about that but I'm not too keen on this either?" Join the Lib Dems: 17 members and counting!

Even I credit the Labour right with slightly more intelligence then to run off to join the tories, lib-dems or split. There's a couple the I could see joining UKIP, but it's been offered to them before and it didn't happen. No, they'll wait to the 2016 elections and knife Jez in the back if it's a massive lose or even only a small win.

Zephro posted:Hang on, they gave a bunch of actors / dodgy private detectives access to the ANPR database? Like, that's a thing they actually did? Having not watched it, the only thing I really know about it is that one of the hunter people was someone on my course at uni. Last I heard he was working as a dev for a pretty big internet security company, so it might not be quite as bad as it seems. At the very least, they're not actors. Though again I haven't watched it so I have no idea. Guy was pretty smart though.

There was actually a pretty interesting article on the Beeb a while back about criminals hiding on the Appalachian Trail, since there's this tradition of adopting "trail names" and not asking about people's real world lives. The fella in question was a well-liked lodge worker for several years iirc.

I read the rules of the game and you have to keep moving, new grid square per day (proved by 3 landline telephone calls) and you can't go back into the same grid squares. You have to complete "daily tasks" or at least try, and live on £60 a day. No sleeping rough no private cars and a whole list of other stuff that makes things pretty inconvenient. Not very clear at all on what info the tracker gets, but my tactic would be taking a bunch of public transport all day while reading books, sleeping and listening to music, while visiting the wonders of a new BnB every evening. £30 lodgings and breakfast, make a call then a basic rover ticket for a bus, figure out task, sit in library or on a bus or wherever, make a call, get something to eat, make a call, do some shopping, use rover ticket to get you to the next town, something to eat, new BnB, process starts again. Sounds like an extended crap holiday really, if you managed to save up a bit so you could get on the old megabus now and then, you could probably see some nice places and get around the country, finding out where the worst BnB's are (it's Southend). £1000 per day for a few weeks? That would keep me in Laphroaig for awhile...
