Looking at figures funnily enough council housing is one area the coalition did a better job than New Labour. https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/live-tables-on-house-building Looks like Wales and Northern Ireland were the most screwed. Worth mentioning for Scotland that after the SNP got in they not only increased local authority builds but enacted the suspension of Right to Buy in pressured areas with high demand for council houses before stopping it completely. Which I agree with, Right to Buy may have been good in principle but the execution was terrible since they didn't replace the council stock and a large number eventually wound up in the hands of Buy to Let landlords.

30.5 Days posted:It doesn't matter who new housing is built for because when the rich people move into their fancy new digs, it frees up their old place, etc. The big problem with luxury housing is not who can afford it, it's that it reduces the efficiency of new units being built during a crunch. So 30k units instead of 60k or more for the same development money. Nah lad they just hang on to the old place and rent it out.

They're even so generous that they fix the old place up with partitions so you can fit 20 immigrants into a house designed for a family of four easy peasy. God bless those kind hearted landlords doing their bit to end the housing crisis in Britain.

The Saurus posted:I'm an antinatalist, and anyone with their head on straight knows that the planet's birthrate needs to be cut dramatically if the human race has any chance of surviving, coping with climate change and providing a decent standard of living. You'll hear no argument from me on this point. There are plenty if white British children in need of adoption so even nazis can help! This is something I've always said as well Ibwould adopt over having children of my own anyway. A word of warning though as someone who works with children with learning difficulties in a deprived area, know what you're getting yourself in for. There's a reason a lot of these children are up for adoption and its because they've been taken out of a severely abusive environment they will probably seem fine at the age they're being adopted but the effects can manifest later. There are children needing adoption that weren't abused and the right parents who are prepared can help those that were and undo a lot of harm to them however it requires more than just a stable home and the desire to raise and love a child. The adoption services dont pair parents and children based on the emotional needs of the child and the parents experiences enough and I've seen sad situations emerge from this. Edit: poo poo I didn't see it was you posting. For you my advice stay away from adopting children their lives are hard enough and I dont want to see them getting more hosed by a nazi piece of poo poo, now for the love of anything please just gently caress off out of this thread you turd. Anyone else thinking of adoption read my advice. StoneOfShame fucked around with this message at 10:57 on Jul 24, 2016 |

I don't know poo poo about parenting, but adoption sounds like hard-mode parenting to me. At least if it's your own kid any fuckups you make are your own and you know what they are, while if you adopt the kid has already been through a trauma (even in the best-case scenario they still have to deal with the stigma of being adopted) and you may not even be aware of all the details. People who adopt are loving saints.

Yes, there is. There's also a certain irony in Corbyn's electoral performances to date being held as unelectable, despite the fact that he's passed every arbitrary electoral test his opponents have set for him, up to and including the EU referendum, and has yet to lose an election he has personally fought. Unelectable, him.

Polls provide a snapshot of what people think now. They think Corbyn must go because he shows no capacity to improve Labour's standing. They presumably support Owen because they think he can increase his popularity, and because there's nobody else to back.
