If you come to the UK illegally, you can be a slave. I wondered how they'd square the Tory farmer/landowner faction with the racist wingnut base, but yeah, that seems about it.

Dan, what trail cam are you using please, and would you recommend it? gardepro a3s is the better quality one with the temp data- I just got that one, victure hc200 is the other and I would recommend either but the gardepro is a definite step up had two others and messed with a few others the neighbouring farm uses- all seem pretty similar feature/function wise within a price band oh, and if you get one and are dumping it in the woods and leaving it like I do, you will need two sets of batteries (rechargeable are normally fine) and SD cards https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xW0aQapamGk this is from a "neewer" HD which is currently down for repairs and probably dead (lasted over two years tho)- even the best camera is gonna get a lot of videos where you don't see poo poo happen, or worse, get the impression something fantastic is happening a metre off to the side https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2swrsv70FPU love sitting and seeing what crops up each batch tho

I'm sure I read at one point that as long as you declare your presence in the country within either 30 or 90 days of arriving you're not here illegally? Regardless of how you got here.

You do have to prove you were not planning to enter and stay illegally and just got caught doing it and still need to prove you are a genuine asylum seeker, but that is how the vast majority of asylum claims happen right now. The point of the bill is to make it illegal.

I have some blue tits hanging out inside my balcony roof. I saw them this fall, checking out a way to get between the steel tiles gypsum or whatever makes up the bottom of the roof, so I helped them widen a hole by the pillar holding the roof up. It's kind of tricky to get up there - they kind of have to build up momentum in advance and approach with the correct vector, or they just bump their heads and fall back down again. I see them going in and out pretty much every day that I'm home, so apparently they've got a cozy thing going on in there

A piece on some unreadably ad covered site was saying the point of this fash shite was to do it knowing it wouldn't get through the courts, so it'd provide a handy opportunity to blame woke lefty lawyers and judges again. TBH though, I think tories just get excited by the cruelty

With the massive caveat that this is just a prediction based on some polling data (and the real election probably won't be this brutal), this is always hilarious to see: https://twitter.com/PollingReportUK/status/1633187030711648257

Nuclear and renewables powering (and heating with waste heat) extreme concentrated horticulture isn't the worst idea for weathering climate change, but that must be the most  way of phrasing it.

Greetings UKMT Friends, I would be very grateful for your advice and thoughts on a personal conundrum. Please forgive my selfishness, I realise that I am probably lucky to have this problem and that a lot of people are financially in the sh*t right now. A few days ago I made an offer on a small freehold property that was very close to the stated guide price. The offer was accepted a couple of days ago probably because I offered too much and the couple currently living in this tiny house is expecting a little one and want to move. I am ok with that because the positives of this property outweigh the negatives, and I want a home. I have an an agreement in principle for £250K with the a view of putting in £30K deposit. The offer which was accepted is less than £250K. I am scheduled to discuss a mortgage application with the bank on Thursday. What happens if the bank completes its own survey/valuation and they conclude that they can't give me the amount I need? I suspect this could mean a few things: my offer was too high, I am old, or there is something wrong with the property. I do not have a plan B, and now I am bricking in my pants. Should I cancel my meeting with the bank? Grateful for your thoughts.

bornbytheriver posted:Greetings UKMT Friends, ...has anything actually happened with the bank or is this just playing out in your head? It feels like there's some details missing here? I don't see why the bank would withdraw the offer unless their valuation came out significantly below what they're lending you, but if they did you could always make a revised offer (which they might go for if they're actually significantly overvaluing their property since they're not likely to get much better) or try another bank. Things move slow as hell with house purchases and there's pretty much always bumps along the way, especially if there's a chain involved, this would just be one of them.

The bank's valuation is likely just some algorithm checking on the size and location of the property, what similar houses in the area have sold for, etc. They're not sending anyone to physically inspect the house. It's not likely that the bank will suddenly do a 180 and refuse to lend what they told you in the agreement in principle unless you provided them wrong information at some point, like about your own income or something.

In Ireland, they most definitely send a physical person to at least do a drive-by and take a picture. An algorithm can't tell the bank if the house has just burned down or someone drove a lorry into the living room window

Noxville posted:...has anything actually happened with the bank or is this just playing out in your head? It feels like there's some details missing here? Thanks very much for your thoughts. Nothing happened with the bank (Nationwide) for now anyway, it's in my head. When I was told by the estate agent that my offer has been accepted, I contacted Nationwide and they offered an appointment with a mortgage adviser to discuss mortgage. I said fine, the mortgage adviser contacted me and requested to provide some information: copy of payslip, buildings insurance (my word, I don't even health insurance, I can only dream of buildings insurance), solicitor's name, year the house was built. I think I can provide them with pretty much everything they asked for - I need to read up on buildings insurance - but then it hit me what if, after I provide them with everything they asked for, they look at the house and say we can't offer you the amount you need.

I mean you have an AIP in place that says the amount they can lend to you. If you wanted less then that is a problem, but as you want the amount you have an agreement over then you, from what I can tell, should just get the money.

A day or two later they called up asked for my (I think) P45 which I didn’t have because I’d just got a job after finishing PhD and otherwise not having a job for many years. They ending up retracting the mortgage offer because I didn’t have a job the previous year (despite obviously knowing this was the case from us showing them our entire financial situation and them presumably understanding the nature of linear time vis-a-vis income and repayments) TBH we may have been lucky in the end because from reading online it seems there’s lots of people who get burned by HSBC randomly changing their minds on mortgages, up to and including the day of completion.

No, sir/ma'am, I initially wanted to find a place for max £250K and was given an AIP. The place that I found and made an offer for was advertised for less than £250K.
