Jaeluni Asjil posted:The only issue really is that my flat is tiny and there are just two windows - one in the living room, one in the bedroom, and I'm thinking about litter tray smells! There's no door direct to the outside so no chance of a cat flap. You really need to keep on top of the litter, but it's okay if you do. Also, I know they're expensive, but you can get windows with cat flaps fitted if you're ground floor.

That would be against the lease for sure. All the outside is 'conforming'. In my London flat, I overlooked the back garden and had a small lower window specially fitted in the kitchen so they could get in and out, then I had the cat flap in the door between my kitchen and living room. My flat lacks doors except to bathroom and bedroom (I didn't notice til after I moved in!) And the positioning is very awkward for putting other doors in. I've hung curtains temporarily between kitchen / living and hall / living. There were other more important things to sort first.

That would be a big benefit to all the landlords too, since the people lucky enough to still be working/paid the same over covid might be closer to actually buying property so better to keep them renting given that buying property doesn't always turn you Tory any more.

gh0stpinballa posted:i can see them scheming up some weird tax that just brutalises people and robs them of their savings. It's called austerity. Again. Low interest rates on government bonds means banks can't pay higher interest rates on savings so inflation gnaws them away. Same thing happens to your savings in that defined contribution pension pot that's meant to cover your retirement, except you get hit twice. While you're paying in, low rates of interest vs inflation eat away at the growth. When you cash out, you're meant to buy an annuity to provide regular retirement income. Low interest rates mean they pay out less too.

Fair point, but all of those options though involve you, or an agent on your behalf, holding onto a sum of money. In a climate of austerity, there's very little return on that so you're losing out one way or the other. Unless you stick it in the housing market, of course!

Everyone's changed their lives to avoid any kind of indoor events, once the pandemic's over they'll all come flocking back to the pubs, restaurants and cinemas en masse. Likewise people have put house buying on hold, a lot of people have no reason to buy a car since they don't commute any more, loads of stuff to spend on when the pandemic's over.

So I was just having my yearly shower and had an idea. I was thinking about that John Rentoul tweet about not wanting an inquiry that will assign blame, and it got me to thinking that there almost certainly won’t be one - that is to say that whole there’ll be an inquiry it will, like all inquiries by the establishment into the establishment, say that mistakes were made lessons should be learned but they tried their best and let’s all forget about it. This is a bit pie in the sky but what if there was some sort of People’s Inquiry? Called exactly that. Not in the way we’d all want with walls and a choice of Marlboro’s, but some sort of organisation set up with the sole purpose of producing a report into the failings of the government and their buddies, apportioning blame in an evidence based way. If it got traction, even calling on experts and ministers to explain themselves then empty chairing then if they don’t. Extremely transparent, evidence based stuff. I literally thought of this twenty minutes ago so apologies if it’s a bit fluffy right now but does anyone think it might have legs and it’s something people might get behind? And inquiry by the people, for the people?
