Brussels proposes free movement deal for UK’s 18- to 30-year-olds Will starmer shoot himself directly in the dick and balls and come out against this for fear of offending people who will never vote labour? quote:The European Commission has proposed opening negotiations with the UK to allow free movement enjoyed before Brexit to millions of 18 to 30 year olds in a major post Brexit concession.

On the one hand, I believe in open borders and cultural exchange so I should support this. On the other hand, Britain hosed off in a sulk, so why should their citizenry get any perks that aren't afforded to, say, Rwandans, just because of the historical ties? (And while.Britain is grim, I don't know if such a curtailment would really amount to collective punishment) On the third mutant hand, Britain and Ireland can already do this anyway so I guess it makes no difference to me.

I mean it's extending open movement to the group who overwhelmingly voted to remain, so it makes sense.

How about 18-30 at the time of the vote. Or increasing it by one year every year so no one born after 1985 can ever become addicted to sovereignity.

Do not, my friends, become addicted to sovereignty. It will take hold of you, and you will resent its absence.

crispix posted:only a slim majority of those who voted were for leaving the EU and most 18-30 year olds today were not old enough to vote in 2016 That's specifically why I said the bit about collective punishment. Why not poll Rwandans and see which demographics there would be pro-EU and give them selective access to the EU? Would be equally illogical. Anyway, I've been totally convinced by the argument that it would boil the piss of Brexiteer pensioners being left out so yeah bring it on.

Had anyone in this thread had experience of engaging a solicitor to purchase a property and then that solicitor being really loving slow at doing anything? Seller is pissed and so am I and I dunno what I can do about it. I also don't really know if it's normal for them to be this goddamn slow.

Yeah they're loving slow. You have to hound them every single day by email, phone, whatever, just be an absolute dickhead, especially if you have a solicitor that takes the piss (seems to be the case here)

Maybe its different in th English legal system, but the actual contract of sale takes ages to hammer out between solicitors because they have to do various checks, like that the seller actually owns the property etc. Actually ours must have went through pretty fast because Google tells me its an average of 6 weeks to do the sale contract in Scotland. lmao UK average is 12-16 weeks. keep punching joe fucked around with this message at 17:18 on Apr 18, 2024 |

It's a new lease so some back and forth was expected, but it seems like we're going through a cycle: 1. Seller says: "wtf? Heard anything?" 2. I ask my solicitor for an update and hear nothing 3. A week or two later I get fed up and start calling them increasingly frequently 4. They eventually secrete some sort of response, and copy me in, with a pdf of an email they sent to the sellers solicitor on the same day, leaving me wondering what they spent the previous few weeks doing 5. Seller responds 6. time passes, go to 1

Zalakwe posted:I generally think the SNP get far too easy a ride on here but without a proper alternative I reckon there will be swing back during an election campaign. Yeah, like they're not perfect by any stretch, but they're the only ones who seem to actually give a poo poo about Scotland and the people in it as a whole. Unlike the vacuous lot of the other parties who are so transparently in it for themselves, the power, and their turn on the cushy money siphoning systems in place for them and their mates.

Microplastics posted:Had anyone in this thread had experience of engaging a solicitor to purchase a property and then that solicitor being really loving slow at doing anything? Nearly everyone I know. How long have you been waiting? (Just saw your post upthread about 3 months - that's nothing.... ) Because I am director of the freehold company (which all the flat owners belong to - we are our own freeholders) of the flats I live in, I have to get involved in every flat sale to fill in the 10/11 page waffle LPE1 for leaseholds for each flat, then answer divvie questions from various solicitors who have already been supplied with all the info but don't seem to read most of it. Even when there is no chain or mortgage involved, I've known it take over 4 months. Not least solicitors disappearing the day when completion is supposed to take place. I was lucky when I bought this place, did it in 8 weeks and that's only because the seller bogged off on holiday for 2 weeks the day after I put the offer in, otherwise it would have been 6 weeks. I did my own searches (I've got google for floods & planning permissions etc, and I was darn sure if there were any nefarious developments in the wind which hadn't had planning permissions applied for the local facebook nimbys would be on the case). That saved a LOT of time. And after sale, flat next door sold and the buyer's solicitor has overpaid us (service charges for 2024) by £350 - no answer to emails etc as to whether they're going to try to claim it back or whether to put it towards next years s/charges for the buyer. Another flat sold a year ago and completed, but no money forthcoming from solicitor for the service charges & so on, so I phoned them up 'oh that doesn't matter, it's not important, we'll do it when we do it, not priority' - but the buyer had given them the money.
