I think my favourite Tory smear recently is them deriding Miliband's rental market fix as 'Venezuelan-style' Because obviously Hugo Chavez invented rent control.

I think this is a dig at the UN inspector lady who the tories and right wing press shat a collective brick over when she said that maybe throwing people out of their homes because of the spare room tax thing wasnt a good idea.

Speaking of housing...

Annual house price growth hits double digits, says Nationwide

In the year to April, prices rose by 10.9%, the first annual double-digit growth since April 2010 and the fastest rate since June 2007.

The news may scotch other suggestions that the housing market has been cooling over the last few months.

This week the Land Registry - which records actual sales - said prices fell by 0.4% in March.

But the Nationwide believes prices have now resumed their upward trend.

"After several months of moderation, the pace of house price growth picked up in April, with prices rising by 1.2% during the month," said Robert Gardner, Nationwide's chief economist.

Nationwide said the average UK house price now stood at £183,577.

Reddit shitfest update: Some loving idiot posted part of the motherfucking Unabomber manifesto as a supporting point to proclaiming that the inevitable end of "liberal" thought in the UK is to have a Kristallnacht for UKIP and then the Conservative party.

Quick question: can I vote without a polling card? I cant remember where I've put mine since it came in the post.

And is there a website to check for the nearest polling station? I know mine is a church somewhere nearby but I have a choice of four. :/


EDIT: I was about to post "Nevermind, found one!It only works for London though (http://www.londonelects.org.uk/im-voter/where-vote)" and then:



:negative:

What a loving useless website.

Good thing the government's finances are in great shape and we couldn't use £430million to pay for some schools or hospitals or anything.

I saw a "Royal Mail" van earlier today that I really should have taken pictures of, parked in a street near my house. The guy inside it was reading a newspaper looking bored as gently caress, but the hilarious thing about it was that it was an entirely white van with normal desktop printed "ROYAL MAIL" logos stuck with cheap lovely masking tape to the sides of it. :psyduck:

Borrowing 75% of their value and spending 10% on renovation.

Something tells me this woman is mortgaged to the loving hilt and it will go spectacularly tits up come the next financial crisis. I dont care so much for her and her stupidity, but those poor buggers shes got as tenants who will be evicted as she has to flog the properties off.
