UK Politics Thread VIII—Can't Let EU Go

[Salandriagado]

On the issue of property ownership in the UK, once can't go past the meticulous research of the folks who run https://whoownsengland.org/2018/06/22/m ... dated-map/

So easy to forget sometimes that this country has never had a decent revolution, and there are huge swathes of the country owned by the descendants of feudal landlords. The degree of toleration British society seems to afford their lordships never ceases to amaze me, to be honest.

The landowning isn't the problem: see, for example, Scotland, where basically all of the land is so owned, but the right to roam is far stronger than in the rest of the UK. The problem is how weak the equivalent legislation outside of Wales is.

While that's an issue, it's less of one than home ownership, surely?

*Shrug*. For me, and most people my age, home ownership is a thing that might or might not be an issue at some point in the distant future, at which point this might or might not be an issue.

Step one: end the commoditization of the housing market and stop people trying to profiteer off it.

How do you stop something that's been going on for centuries? Ground rents got stuck in the mud so people with wealth stopped buying them and started buying houses to let.

I'm in one of the houses affected by this. It's been nearly 30 degrees today and it smells like someone took a shit in the corner of my office.

Fuck the Chinese bastard and please get this cleaned up.

I suspect Corbyn will use the Heathrow runway, at the next election, to gain a few London seats from the Tories.

Which might not be a good idea. Richmond Park, the constituency that specifically has Heathrow in it, was won by the Liberal Democrats in 2016. Might be wise to just let them have another crack at unseating Zac Goldsmith again.

I can sympathise, I live across the river from the sewage treatment works.

The Fates took one look at your NSG account...nominative determinism at its finest.

Tax buy-to-rent mortgages hard.

I think the EU is trying to block it, and I did read something about the Irish-British border, so my solution is: Ireland should also leave the EU

We don't want to leave the EU, though.

"What the Irish want" has historically been of little concern to the British.

Ahum, it's called the Republic, and there are Irish people who want the Republic of Ireland to leave the EU

[The Huskar Social Union]

Ahum, it's called the Republic, and there are Irish people who want the Republic of Ireland to leave the EU

Its also called the south cuz its to the fucking south, and there are irish people who dont want to leave the EU, and there are far far far more of them.

No, it's officially called the Republic Ireland or just Ireland, and the majority want to stay in the EU, but there are a plenty of Irish people who want Ireland to leave the EU, there are also still Conservatives out there in Ireland, Ireland is basically a mix of Liberalism and Conservatism (something like the United Kingdom but Ireland is somewhat more Liberal and the UK somewhat more Conservative)
