To be fair, it's a lot more complicated to do this with a block of flats than an airplane or something. Not everyone listed as living there will have been at home, there will have been friends and partners staying over, sub-letting, etc.

I can understand why they're waiting for official confirmed numbers instead of just going hog-wild guessing on the national news.

Bollocks, the whole thing was owned by one company isnt it? So they would have a list of all the renters and family members.
Sure there may be a few extra people staying over, lovers, friends, family members etc.
But a core list of people living, that should be easily accessible quickly.

They are covering it up by stringing it out as long as they can, waiting for the next scandal, terrorist attack, or celeb gay affair to steal the headlines.

Somewhere In a little room there are Tories sat around discussing how they are going to spin it that they don't know how many because "most of them were illegals innit" and try and put it out there that people are missing because they are pretending to be dead to avoid deportation.

And a phone rings every 5 minutes. One picks it up, listens for a minute and puts it down.

Take home is about 1000 from my main job, plus about 130 pcm from my other.

625 all bills house
150-200 pcm on food of all sorts
100 (ish) on Charities, phone and gym.

I walk to work, go out for free stuff and my mum sends me a bit of pocket money every couple of months due to my brother still living at home.

I survive and I am looking for work.

No offense, but ditch paying to the gym and charities until you can get something better or some savings.
Sure its good to give to charities, but one accident or unforseen thing and you could be hosed.

The guy on the left knows where this is all going.

That is Nigel Dodds.
Hes glum as usually this time of year (in two weeks time actually) he gets to happily shout out how Ireland and catholics are evil and that himself and the Orange Order can walk where ever they want to.

This year he will have to tone that down, in order not to cause any bad PR for Theresa.

Lot of irate comments in my neck of the woods that a 1/5th of the new funding has already been earmarked for infrastructure east of the bann with no textual commitments to anything to the west

I would assume that to be honest.

yeah but you might as well not loving bother at that point.

it's like divorcing your wife, paying lawyers but still living in the same house and sleeping in the same bed.

okay you're divorced and probably got a large bill in the process

you might as well have just stayed married.

It's nothing like getting divorced.
Divorced means not seeing each other again, or extremely limited contact afterwards.

This is like getting divorced, and then haggling on how much sex or use of the washing machine will cost afterwards.
But with Brexit its going to be haggling for sex from 27 different people, and acting surprised that it was higher than before.

For the record I don't deny that brexit is going to suck for the UK a -lot- short and midterm. I'm just optimistic that it can be a chance to weaken the global push for austerity, and open the door for socialist and communist policies.

If I for some strange reason had the ability to vote on your referendums, I would have probably voted Remain because brexit is going to be a really, really painful process for impoverished brits.

How is Brexit going to do this?

I think Brexit is meant to reduce social and regulatory practices.
The Tories want it done asap so they can ramp up Austerity, and call it patriotism.

I'm pretty convinced it already doesn't work, tbh. I've spoken to far too many complete idiots who don't understand anything who, nonetheless, are amazingly consistent voters, to think that it's a decent system of government.

A random sample of complaints:

1. The council's bad because it buys private police from london, who do something bad that was never elaborated on.
2. The government turned all the roads here into bus lanes, which is offensive to drivers. We were standing next to the road; cars were driving past.
3. "You get more in benefits than you do being at work, and that's wrong".
4. There are too many people coming over here, which is why there's no school places anymore (in an area with something like a 99% white-british population).
5. There has never been a civilisation in the middle east*.

People are loving morons.

*I forgot my usual doorstep demeanour and said "What, not even Egypt?", and got "That's in asia". Grate Britane :downs:

I think there should be a general knowledge politics test before you can vote.
If you cant name the parties, your local people you are voting for, don't know their policies, you cant vote. And to balance it out every political party has to send out the answers to these in every leaflet drop they do.

And yeah current people are idiots. What UK town was it that voted 86% leave, then realized that the EU was paying for their inner city rejuvenation for the next 10 years?
