Oh, how amusing. The group from the.Tower went to Downing Street (May was hid8ng behind Justin Selby, ffs) As soon as the group was shooed out, one guy immediately sparked up a tab.


As far as replacing May, we're going to end up with Peter Bone as Pm, aren't we?

I'm interested in how the council counts households because there are a few ways to do it.

One way to count households is to lump people living at the same address with the same last name as a household. That keeps sub-leasers separate from the people they're renting a place from. But a family is more than having the same last name. Another approach is to count everyone staying at one place as one household. That avoids the name problem but now sub-leasers have to share resettlement resources with the people they rented a place from.

The Red Cross treats a household as a group of people who lived at an address permanently before the disaster who also plan to stay together after the disaster. If a married couple decides to split up and move into separate places they count as two households. If a homeowner and the sub-leaser decide they want to move into the same place because they get along they count as one household.

The thing is, I don't think the council would have the knowledge or foresight to use the latter approach. And they could even define household in different ways in different contexts. That'd come in handy if they wanted to make it look like they were helping more people or if they wanted to make the number of potential casualties look lower.

Yeah, he came out and spouted the same soundbites that he had used twice before in the last couple of weeks after the terrorist attacks.

There's only so many times you can hear a politician praise the emergency services and the community for coming together before you start thinking maybe the emergency services and the community are actually a lot more important and useful than the politician.
