Yep, Trousers implying utopia with no costs. Although to be clear was no fan of Corbyn

I don't think many people were (are), him and McDonnell are not particularly nice people.

Policies weren't bad though.

Don’t want him here and don’t give a shit what he’s claiming on his asylum application. Cooper has to instruct the Home Office to get him fastracked so he is gone by August and permanent ban from the UK. Albania shouldn’t be a country where asylum applications are considered from anyway.

Exactly this. These are the type of cunts that ruin it for the proper AS.

If we have lots of spare housing in the local community; why are the waiting lists for social housing fucking massive?

Thatcher owns responsibility that one fairly and squarely for not re-distributing a high enough proportion of Right to Buy receipts into new, more modern and efficient social and mixed purpose housing, worsened by subsequent governments and nimby attitudes by householders (which in the Cotswolds there can often be unfortunately).

See Heseltine’s latest book which I’ve been reading plus countless other texts on housing.

In other news, some of the horrific cost legacy left behind by Boris’s hotel contracts have been reduced by 30% https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cgeqwv98d55o

Now the government needs to speed up case processing especially for claimants who have committed crimes and/or from non-FCDO recognised conflict states eg Albania and Turkey. Should be some swift rejections and removals in there.

Because people want to pick and choose which house they want. Got to have a seperate bedroom for each child, with a spare in case they have a visitor, plus 2 bathrooms. And certainly not on a sink estate.

So, there is lots of spare housing kicking around?

That’s down to Right to Buy. The governments since have some responsibility but that’s where the main sell off and lack of re-investment in social housing stems from.

Sensible policy here rather than using a more elaborate and untested teeth and bones approach to assess age https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cglzrklp8jyo
