Like I get there are people in here that are having to pay these visa costs and the nasty approach to failing applications and forcing people to lose all their money and start over is bad, but as long as its actually the state taking the money and not some horrid services company then what is actually the problem with charging a lot for visas? If nothing else it gives new immigrants a good catch up with the rest of us in terms of the utter contempt with which we hold the authorities.

Because immigration should be given to people who want it rather than people who can afford it. Also the state is only gonna give it to boris's mates via nonsense contracts anyway.

Odd how that one bit of imperial legacy isn't appreciated more. e: I mean it's already hard as gently caress and yet UK is consistently among (if not at) the top of legal immigrants per capita in the EU.

The horse coach comes to a halt in front of the two guards with halberds crossed in the road. A third guard raps on the door with a heavy stick and it opens. I approach and level my ornate wheel lock long pistol at the weary travelers inside. "It's okay, I'm the baron of these acres, so this is all going to the state."

Like there are reasons why you can't just dissolve the border entirely, not least because a lot of it is defined by the sea. But there definitely isn't a reason to charge much at all for immigration paperwork, or anything, frankly, if you're already here.

Jose posted:extremely shocking that another tory refuses to help In the medium term this is strategically good for Labour - fighting to unite MPs to avoid No Deal but various other factions all going 'Stay back Mr Corbyn, Noooo....' mean they're dynamiting the chance of stopping it not Corbyn or Labour as a whole. They are sapping the Lib Dem rhetoric around Remain while exposing them as the shits they are without actually having to make statements about cancelling Brexit which would piss off Leavers and it's insanely obvious that come the GE you're either voting Labour for a Labour government or any other party (except SNP I guess) for a Tory one. All in all if the obvious costs of No Deal weren't so bad and any gains still so uncertain, I'd be extremely optimistic about how things are going.

I moved into a flat on 1st July that is above a small pub. The landlord (who owns the whole property) emailed me at 11pm on Thursday to say that building work is starting on Monday on a new pub garden that will be right below my bedroom window. It will block off the back door that I use for deliveries and to take the rubbish out. Having my useful rear access to the flat replaced by a noisy and smoky public space seems like a pretty major negative change for me as a tenant, but they are acting like it's good news and no big deal. Shouldn't they have warned me? If they were planning it before I signed the contract (seems likely) did they mislead me by not telling me? I dunno if there's anything I can do. What really annoys me is that the landlord keeps trying to spin it as positive news. She said that the garden will increase the commercial value of the pub (irrelevant to me) and that removing my rear access will "simplify the layout of the building" (!). She also phrased it like they were just letting me know out of politeness when really I think they should have warned me ages ago. Anyway I'm loving stressed about it so any advice welcome. My natural inclination is to roll over and take it so I need some righteous indignation to bolster my courage.

A Buttery Pastry posted:Your argument was that it was fine because it was the state doing it, you didn't even mention borders. Which by your own admission, we shouldn't actually have. So what, fleecing people wanting visas (which are based on the existence of borders) is fine, but the borders themselves are not? I thought it was pretty clear what I was saying from the obvious context of it being concerning immigration, although I wouldn't really say it was my argument. If entry to the UK is a product people are willing to pay for and we're the ones reaping those rewards rather than a private company then in some circumstances I'm not really against it. I can do a car analogy about it if you like?

If you want to leave you can tell them this and that you wish to end the contract as a result, they can't fine you. You signed an agreement for a place with rear access, they've taken this away.

See if you can find out (not from them) about planning permission and gently caress them over if they don’t have any and need it. Licensing board may also be interested if they haven’t gone the right way about it. They’ve hosed you over so do it back (in an underhanded way that won’t lead back to you)

Has the landlord said that post the works you will no longer have access rights through the back? They absolutely should have told you before.
