ookiimarukochan posted:That would involve BTL landlords not having mortgages to pay, which I can't imagine being the case. mortgages with T&Cs attached making sure they rent the property out for as much as possible quite disapointing that Milliband says that any existing BtL mortgage that specifies no rental terms greater than one year (ie most of them) will be exempt from the law guaranteeing the availibilty of 3 year tennancy agreements. why not just render that clause of mortgage contract unenforcable?

it's very tabloid to throw around the 4 years figure. the sentence is 8 and there's no guarantee he'll get out any earlier. especially not if he keeps up his 'take the piss out of the victims and who no contrition' act.

Seaside Loafer posted:To make it clear, I'm simply suggesting that if you are piss poor like me this is the go to account type. No you don't get any interest but it would be gently caress all anyway but if you cock up you don't get a fee. That sounds perfect to me. have you taken any time today to read the rest of the t&cs ? obviously they aren't just throwing open the gates with accounts that are exactly the same as regular, but with this added bonus. it'd be interesting if there were situations (for the 'piss poor' maybe) where they might be really good. i know that when people have done comparisons before on "no interest" mortgages that have people buy from the bank an increased share of ownership each month they actually work out a little bit poo poo, but not outrageous.

SybilVimes posted:I'm not sure there's any potential way to get such a tattoo and it not say 'I'm a giant raging nazi' to anyone that sees it though - so probably best to get it dive bombing your anus. Most tattoo artists nowadays will flat out refuse anything like that. If you go for something a bit more obscure than a massive Nazi eagle you might get lucky if they don't realise. Those artists who are willing acquire a reputation for it. And will lose a lot of regular customers who don't want to associate with that sort of crowd.

Loonytoad Quack posted:Same region, I'm gonna vote Green even though it pains me to do so because of their loving stupid views on nuclear power. They were polling higher than the Lib-Dems last time I checked, so they do actually have a chance at a seat. That's a common refrain in this thread. I think people significantly overestimate what sway local councils and / or the European Parliament have over nuclear power in the UK which really is a matter for Westminster.

TinTower posted:One of my major issues with voting Green is their HS2 opposition, actually. The science and nuclear policy, I can have confidence will eventually come around to acceptability. I fear that the HS2 policy will stay because of the power of the North London liberal intelligensia. given the Greens won't be in power after then 2015 election, hopefully HS2 will have passed the point of no return before they ever do.

I mean come on, you'd think they'd at least connect London to Edinburgh but as it stands it barely covers half the country. I'm also seriously sceptical about putting a ton of money into something like that while local rail networks on the periphery (Wales, the North-East etc) are so woefully inadquate. Just screams to me 'London's getting a big new showpiece/toy for the rich' more than anything else.  hs2 is proposed to go to newcastle, glasgow & edinburgh

haakman posted:Ok, someone explain this to me - the BBC is showing Labour +83 seats, Con down 80 odd, LD down 80 odd and UKIP up 86. Yet the headline is 'UKIP stealing seats from the tories and labour'... the news always over-emphasises the novel. the main opposition party gaining seats is expected; always happens. it'd be news if labour weren't. also there's a narrative been constructed over the last year or so, so anything fitting into that gets played up. i went to sleep in a conservative council, and woke up in a labour one. happy days. victory to the people.
