Recent Immigrants make "net contribution" to finances

[mafya]

Good point - who would the ***** slum landlords let their slums to?

 

Page hall is under the selective Licencing scheme so no slum landlords now as the council don't issue licences to slum landlords...

[RonJeremy]

I haven't been there for a while. Is it a shining example of modern 21c living?

[yellowperil]

Slum landlords and reknowned for sticking to the licencing rules you know!

The council don't issue a licence unless your house is up to standard...

[yellowperil]

I think you miss the point somewhat.

As if slum landlords care if they have a licence or not!

The council are checking for rented houses without licences and a couple have already been taken to court, the fines are not worth the risk.

[yellowperil]

Theres a difference between recieving a fine and paying it too.

These people have no morals and couldnt care less about any system in place.

The slum landlords still exist despite the licencing system.

Nige catches Adolph Merkel and her french poodle like two rabbits in his headlights,

Think what you want and say what you will of Farage (and most long-timers on here know full well he ain't exactly my posterboy, by some light years), that was a good speech, castigating the ever-clearer and ever-stronger Franco-German dictatorship in all things EU.

 

Hollande is such a bell-end, probably our worst President since Pompidou. History won't be kind to him. Good

If Slovakia leaves the EU does that mean that the Slovakians currently in the UK/page Hall will also have to leave?

Yes, if they can't get a visa. Are you renting property to Slovakians, by any chance? Guess who'd have the job of turfing them out and ratting them to HM Borders & Immigration, btw?

 

Same for Brits in the EU and EU nationals here, if the UK Brexits.

 

Personally, I hope the entire lot of Visegrad states states do exit in a hurry, give Merkel and Brussels solid platinum rods about the EU investments they've already received and the migrant quotas ordered by Berlin Brussels, and then price-dump with their shiny new, flagship-grade, Korean-paid carmaking industry on Germany and France for all they're worth. What poetic justice that would be.

But Hollande is talking about a referendum.A referendum is not an ultimatum,it's a choice,in this case it will be whether to stay or go,Hollande is simply pointing this out by emphasising to UK voters what they are voting yes or no to,more EU or no EU.

 

"Britain must back deeper integration of the European Union or quit altogether" is an ultimatum because he is giving two stark choices i.e. this way or the highway. His statement rules out compromise and leaves him in the position of either standing his ground or having to back down. It is a stupid position for any politician to get into whether you can see it or not... always leave yourself wiggle room.

 

Farage dangled the bait and Hollande bit whilst Merkel kept tight lipped. It is that sort of political astuteness that has helped Merkel stay top of pops for so long and why Hollande will go down as a one hit wonder. He was elected on the back of a protest vote against austerity but has been quickly found out. He is a useless pipsqueak.

No,he said that Brexit would be 'logical' for the British to take in a referendum,a choice that some who will vote have already made,as voiced on this forum and many other places.........no matter what David Cameron comes up with in his attempt at renegotiation of the British position.

The current splits in the EU over migrants might get Cameron more backing than he might originally have got,but not from Hollande by the sounds of it.

If Cameron was up against Corbyn in a general election,Cameron would no doubt emphasise the clear blue water between them........the choices that had to be taken into consideration by the voting public when deciding who to vote for,Hollande is saying the same for the UK referendum.............would you say that Cameron was giving an ultimatum to the British public over who to vote for between him or Corbyn,or simply outlining the choices on offer?

Another straw in the wind was a piece in La Tribune by the economist Stephanie Villiers, arguing that the French have contributed too much to the success of the City, through sending their top mathematical wizards over here in large numbers (the “London whale” amongst them, of course). If the UK left the EU this would be a golden opportunity “to repatriate part of its financial expertise”, allowing Paris to strengthen its bid to become the financial centre of Europe, which would offset the potential costs of exit to other parts of the French economy.

 

So there are the germs here of a narrative that would support a fairly hard-line negotiating posture on the Elysée’s part. Certainly they will resist any changes that could be used to support the case for a referendum of any kind in France. Mr Cameron may need to eat a few more dinners at the Elysée before a deal is done, maybe with humble pie on the menu. If he is served an “ile flottante” instead (fluffy egg-whites on a sea of custard) he will know the French have decided to cast us adrift.

Hollande said he hoped the UK would remain in the EU and that it was in the interests of Europe and the UK to work together.

 

“We talked about Great Britain’s place in the European Union,” he said after meeting Cameron.

 

“France wants Great Britain to stay in the European Union. There will be a referendum and it will be up to the British people to choose what it wants for its future.

 

“David Cameron will present his proposals and we will discuss how we can go forward so the British people can be able to make a choice that works for them.”
