Anna B Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 WHat makes you think that this portfolio isn't run as a business with local response teams? You think these Wilson's (whoever they may be) came round to unblock the toilet themselves? Your reasoning is typically xenophobic. It was a joke...

*_ash_* Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Personally I think that landlords for UK properties must be reside in the UK. That way it doesn't take an age to prosecute the bad ones that hide abroad. Also, despite the landlords I had whom where decent, Landlords should have to submit to government inspections of properties at least once a year & given notice of this inspection no more that 24hrs prior. Would you include council properties in that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runningman1 Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 It was a joke... But was the underlying sent joke? They have also sold most of their portfolio to Chinese investors. Why does this worry me.... Why does the race of the investor matter to you? I didn't have you down as a ukiper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just nervous about our infrastructure being sold off to foreign investors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricgem2002 Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 That isn't what the video told you. It told you that the amount guaranteed by the government in the event that the bank goes bust is to be reduced from 85 to 75k. ---------- Post added 11-12-2015 at 09:01 ---------- again it makes you wonder what the gov knows ---------- Post added 11-12-2015 at 17:38 ---------- I think you'll find it's a bit of EU regulation..the government used to guarantee (underwrite) accounts to the value of 85k..it's been reduced to 75k... it's called the Deposit Guarantee Scheme..the new directive "harmonises" the amount over the whole of the EU..it's set at 100,000 euros about 75k pounds.. yea we know what happened in Greece makes you wonder whos next:suspect: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tzijlstra Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 I'm just nervous about our infrastructure being sold off to foreign investors. Which means your statement about it being a joke was a joke, correct? It is OK Anna, over the years I have got to understand you as a confused Labour voter with severe nationalist views.

Cyclone Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 again it makes you wonder what the gov knows They know that legally they are obliged to keep the guarantee in line with that set by the EU central bank, which is E100,000. It's not a big conspiracy as you seem to be trying to imply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have issues with this. I have friends that like to go travelling, when they go travelling they take unpaid leave from work and rent out their house. Your idea would stop them being able to afford to travel because if they weren't allowed to rent their house they'd obviously have to find the money to pay their mortgage when they're away. They'd also have to take the risk of their house being stood empty for 6 months or more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
